Before I put the first chapter in, let me tell you it isn't named Hand of God because of the dose, and I wasn't on any doses/drugs or anything when I wrote it. I just like writing...
Hand of God
Prologue:
Running, he could hear it behind him. Closer, closer, every step it gained, he felt. Looking down the hall, he saw nothing but darkness. He knew that these halls would be his final stand, but when the time comes, will he be ready?
Thinking, he remember what he was told, Pastor Dan taught him to not run from the troubles, but to stand to them. He had to stop and fight it. He had to fight the Hand of God before it could get him. He had to…
Chapter I, The Unknowing:
Walking through his school halls, Justin felt a strange feeling come over him. Not knowing if he should continue to class or not, he took a detour to the school’s nurse. While waiting his turn to be checked out by the nurse, he tried making small talk, “So, anyone go to church last night? I didn’t go, I was out with some friends.”
A kid behind him replied “Who goes to church on Wednesday nights? That’s pointless. The day or worship is Sunday, you know.”
Disgusted he turned away. Justin never really had any friends. The only person who liked him was Pastor Dan, or so he thought. Unknowing that someone else loved him in the Heavens he always made up an excuse to not attend church.
It was his turn to be checked out by the nurse. As she checked for a fever, she asked if he was recently sick, like always, he said no. When the temperature finally came through, she was amazed to find Justin able to walk. “Justin, your temperature is 127 degrees Fahrenheit. You should be in the hospital right now. Do you know that you are at a deadly temperature? I’m going to call your parents.”
“What? Don’t call them, let me go home and rest. They always freak out and start asking stupid questions. Why can’t you just let me go home? Please!”
“Justin, enough, you need to be in the hospital!”
Unknowing that he was hit by something not curable by man, the Wrath of God, he went willingly with the ambulance. Already tired, he feel asleep on the ride. He saw a tunnel, at the end there was two doors, one had light radiating from it, but was bounded with chains, locked. The other had a dark aura, but was open, waiting for him to enter. Fearing what it meant, he stayed away from both.
He awoke hours later in the hospital. Pastor Dan was there, sitting in a chair reading his bible. Justin was exhausted, but said what he could, “Pastor Dan! I am so glad to see you! I need to talk to you though… When I was asleep, I saw a long hall… A hall that had two doors at the end, one was bound by chains and was locked with light radiating from it. The other I felt a dark aura from but was open. I was so scared, I didn’t know what to do.”
Frightened, the pastor was speechless, until finally he said in a low voice, “Then you must leave this place, the Wrath of God is upon you. Run; meet me in the church in an hour. I will instruct you on everything I know about this. Hurry now, I will be okay.”
