Michael Pratt: Fifteen Minutes Of Fiction

America as we knew it.

I have no doubt that this election year is going to be the most awe struck election in the world. I have no doubt with the way things are going that we Christians will be removed from this alien world and be called out of here if not now soon, very soon. The country as we know it will become a country of turmoil and a country that will remove the very creator that put us on the earth in the first place. I believe that what is right will be wrong and what is wrong will be right. This country is about to endure the worst 4 years of its entire life.

Say goodbye to "One Nation under God".
Say goodbye to a baby's rights and hello to partial birth abortions.
Say goodbye to a marriage between one man and one woman.
Say goodbye to a strong military that has kept this nation free.
Say hello to religious tolerance and Goodbye to truth.
Say goodbye to freedom and hello to bondage.
Say goodbye to God and hello to Satan!
Say hello to Christian persecution.
Say goodbye to Israel as an ally hello to God’s wrath.

EVEN SO COME LORD JESUS!

The Watchers

"What in the world are you trying to do?" John looked at his wife lying on the floor in a twisted pile.

"Well I was trying to walk." Mary replied as she reached for a hand up.

"Did you just start learning grace?" He snickered as he reached for her hand to help her up.

Mary looked herself over as she was brushing the dirt off herself. Everything looked ok. No cuts scrapes or broken bones. She wasn't sure what happened all she could remember was that she lost her footing like someone kicked her legs out from underneath her and she ended up on the ground. Could it have been the watchers? Maybe they were playing a joke on her. If it was, it wasn't very funny at all she could have gotten hurt. Mary found a bench to sit on the park. John followed and sat down beside her.

"Are you okay?" John said.

"Well I don't have any broken bones and I am still breathing so I guess I am okay." She replied rubbing her knee.

John stared at Mary for a few minutes and then looked around the park. There was a playground area with several kids playing on the jungle gym and their parents standing in a group close by watching and carrying on conversation. He saw one of the children standing at the top of the slide raising his hands as if he was announcing that he was in control of the playground.

"You know I have been thinking about our marriage. I feel as if we are missing something," John said as he turned and looked in Mary's eyes.

Snow, Snow, Snow!

The large snowflakes fell and covered the trees and ground. Some say that the snowflakes have brains and even can talk and if you listen closely you can hear what they are saying as you walk about.

"Hey Bob." Mr Snow said.

"Hey Joe." Mr Freeze said.

"I see you finally got chosen to fall to the earth. I didn’t think I would ever get the chance. After all I have been waiting for several years to get chosen."

"Yeah, what a ride it was to the earth! That was so awesome. I am looking forward to doing it again. I can't wait for the evaporation so I can return to the heavens."

"How much longer do you think the rest of the crew will take to fall?"

"I am not sure but it doesn’t look like it will end anytime soon."

"Loooook out!!!", The voice screamed as George White fell almost crushing Bob and Joe and landing next to them. "That was close!"

"Hey George." Bob and Joe replied. They both looked at each other and thought oh great now we are in trouble. George seems to bring bad luck with him everywhere he goes. The worst part is it effects everyone around him as well. At one point they were told that George caused a huge problem in one city by causing a car wreck on the highway causing a lot of damage and injuring lots of people. Joe and Bob looked around expecting something to happen right away but nothing yet.

The Hallway Was Silent - Writing prompt.

The hallway was silent. The only thing you could hear was the faint sound of a drinking fountain's chiller. Z cautiously walked down the hall scanning every room. Z thought about how this hall was once filled with students of all sorts passing through to the next class or going to their lockers for books to their next class. That was all gone now. The school stands silent and empty. Some of the classes still had books and bags on the desks as if the students were still there but may have left for the bathroon or to another location.

Z entered the biology room and looked around. The room had several lab tables with books open and papers scattered. There was a cage sitting on a table with its door wide open and whatever animal that was in there was not around or had escaped because someone left the cage door open. On another table sat several chemicals and flasks with hoses going from flask to flask and hanging on stands. It reminded Z of a mad scientists labratory and he was about to create some concoction to take over the world.

Z approached another desk that had a computer on it which was still on. He moved the mouse and the screen saver disappeared to reveal a document open displaying the words. GOD HAVE MERCY ON OUR SOULS. Z stared at the screen for what seemed like a life time. The thoughts of what happened several weeks ago played back in his head.

"I can't believe this happened."

There was a noise that caught Z's attention he turned to see where it came from. Z headed toward the entrance to the room. peaking out the hallway looking left and right.
