The Coming

It was a long day and the dark drive home proved to be even longer, as freezing rain and subsequent black ice quickly turned into wet heavy snow. Snow on black ice is treacherous but going slowly, I made progress. As I approached my turn, I looked up the hill as a car spinning out of control, crashed into the guardrail and stopped! Flames flickered from under the car as it hung precariously over the cliff.
Time stood still as I raced up the hill and as I ran to the pregnant woman standing there, another pregnant woman was slumped over the wheel, and eyes open but not moving. Immediately I knew them, Mareilene and Dareilene, twins from high school. As I grabbed the door handle, Mareilene yanked me back, looked at me insanely and screamed,
"Dareilene and baby are dead! Help me Joe! I need to push the car off the cliff and let it explode with them in it."
I yelled,
"What the fuck! You can't do that!"
Mareilene cried,
"He's coming Joe and the only way we live, is to let him think it's me and my baby that are dead at the bottom of this cliff. Damn it Joe, decide! Both my baby and I live, or we all will die! Dareilene and her baby are dead and damn it Joe, I now know that God sent you here to save me and my baby!"
Her eyes told me the truth and then with one shove, the car with Dareilene and baby plunged off the cliff and exploded in flames. We climbed into my truck and as I hit the gas, Mareilene shouted,
"Drive like the Devil is on your heels Joe, because He is!"
The Coming . . . Good versus Evil.
