The birds must of sensed the Anomaly first because they suddenly left the area. None flew within a twenty mile radius of the moors. The lights could be seen by day and night and though at first they went unnoticed eventually after all the animals left and all the flora and fauna died we finally saw the lights.
What they were we did not know but people thought they had been there at least a month , well we believe it had been much longer than that. News, unusually for news, spread slowly. Looking back I think it was fear of the unknown, everyone thought if they ignored the lights they would go away.
Alas they did not go away in fact they grew, slowly at first but now six months on they have spread from Britain right across Europe and Russia, Alaska, Canada now they are heading toward the Americas. Nothing seems to affect them nothing seems able to stop them.
Yes the scientist and military have been busy testing the anomaly but they cannot test light can they ….. it is just colour it is transient it cannot be caught, measured or, as it appears, stopped. Amazing isn’t it every government in the entire world is cooperating with each other…. All wars have ceased in an effort to solve the problem.
So the beautiful lights are moving around the world encircling us all with their ethereal hues. All the birds are gone, the animals too. Nothing grows anymore and we are all loosing our humanity. The government did try to keep order with the army but as soon as the stocks in the shops ran out anarchy spread like wild fire.
It is everyone for themselves , it is unbelievable there are bodies rotting on the streets people are dying of malnutrition, disease , thirst and plain simple violence. It is awful we are terrified to go out.
All those pictures of people trapped in wars, refugees struggling hand to mouth, thousands of people in Africa starving it is happening here in the so called modern world , though the way it is now that all the fuel has run out, apart for a very few, we may as well be living in the stone age. No “Feed the world ” when it is so badly needed!
I mention “The very few”, those with money enough or deemed worthy of saving have been hidden away somewhere to ride this out. I personally do not think the earth will recover from this. If it does my group and I do not want to be around to see what is left.
So I have left this very brief account of what has happened. Tonight we are going out to watch the lights and party with the alcohol and food that we have managed to accumulate we have not much strength left and we are sure someone stronger will kill us for our stocks before morning.
Suicide I can imagine you are thinking as you read that last paragraph , well yes but we have had enough there is nothing left to live for . The lights will soon have killed the entire planet. I have to laugh something so beautiful has brought us to this. Beauty has slaughtered us, well no we have slaughtered each other .
Why was he alone there should be a hundred souls here. The last transport was now. Everyone had left months ago leaving the final few to shut down the planet. It was dark and acid rain was falling. 9 o’clock the email said, he got his mobile out to check…. nine AM…. Nooo!
Is this the end of the world as we know it! I certainly hope not! I have been sorting things for a busy family Christmas and I shall be very up set if the world ends and I blow it! I am determined not to give in I want to enjoy myself is that such a sin!
It has been such a busy couple of months for which we have had to save I am determined to enjoy time with the family not see earth meet its’ grave!
So God bless you all may we enjoy a happy tomorrow lets’ hope the Mayan calendar is wrong lets all be happy we do not need any Mayan sorrow!!
Gabriel was happy, he was reunited with his God. The Devil was nervous he did not to talk but neither was he brave enough to turn his back and walk.Mercy was smiling so broadly her tears she wiped away things were looking up Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Come Death she winked that is what you need to say.
The light was truly amazing gold and glowing warm, city and woodland, desert, jungle and sea scape all so blessedly adorned. I honestly cannot explain, how beautiful it seemed with angels singing sweetly it was like the best, best of dreams.
Back at the cafe the Father Son and Holy Ghost had treated everyone to tea and toast. Then with silver tongues the Devil’s work they undone. God, all three of him , emailed Peace and Love and asked them to return now, to this world which, for now was free of sin.
Meanwhile the humans began to wake from death and hell without a pang of guilt or fear. The Lord had wiped clean the slate they could all begin with no blood spilt, no need to fuss or hesitate. The Devil sulking sat alone playing with mobile phone, he was angry he was peeved, he was on his own, though, everyone else was pleased.
The Lord stood up and said I decree that for a while Famine,War and Pestilence set the world free and so for now they can take a brake, fine said Famine, is there any more cake? Death looked up and said you have only mentioned my brothers three, what pray tell becomes of me. Smiling, God all three, put his arm around Death and whispered I still need you to collect the dead for me.
I know, the Lord went on that you are suffering with your bones and feet. I have purchased boots and padded socks, there thats neat. Also a thermal cape and hood to protect your bones and a scarf now there thats good.
Love and Peace , Mercy too will be here to hang around with you. OH! and yes may it never be too late we’ll have home visits from Hope and Faith.Then before anyone could deny all things we put back to rights in the blink of the Lord’s eye. Come he said to the Devil it is time you were gone your place is on fire and might perish ere long.
The Devil, fuming , did not reply left with a flourish and hate in his eye. Gabriel and all his clan ascended up to heaven following the Saviour of Man. As the dust began to settle baristas all over the world could be heard putting on the kettle.
The day went on as it had began, no sign that the Devil and God had been fighting for the souls of Man. But all of you who have read this tale beware, you escaped this time but if you do not mend ways, look after the planet and behave you will witness The End Of Days . So listen up , come on you do not want to be part of Armageddon.
And the the child was quiet and the streets were empty there was not a sound. The Devil drank his coffee and Famine ate, Death wept and his tears sizzled as they hit the ground. The groans and screams of the unfortunate souls that the Devil had ensnared, started up and echoed around the streets, assailing everyone’s ears. Death looked at Mercy and said this is tenfold worse than any of our fears.
War was worn out he had truly done his worst he had whipped up hate and anger and spite, he had brought the planet low he’d been a scourge and a curse. Pestilence was running wild he travelled by air, sea and train he made people sick, he smite them with disease then struck them all down with pain. Peace and Love had long since fled as soon as they had escaped their tormentors off to find God they had sped.
Mercy and Gabriel knelt down to pray. Mercy beseeched God to listen and not to turn away. Death gingerly, because he was not sure, edged toward them then joining them, he knelt on the floor. There they stayed, be it wrong or right and they prayed and prayed right through the night.
So they prayed through the night and they prayed till the dawn and they were totally awestruck by what came with the morn. The sky was full of wonderful light yellows and golds and purple and blue and the most wonderful voices, you could see from his face it was a sound Gabriel knew.
Then finally a voice that drench all the the souls on the earth, whether good or bad, with feelings of self worth. The Devil was angry in fact very irked the voice was calming his sinners, even after all of his evil work! He got up and went to stomp off throwing cups and tables in his wake . When the beautiful voice said Satan stay and face me to leave would be a mistake…………..
Gabriel’s face took on a fantastic glow he unfurled his wings and into the arm’s of his God!
Nobody new how long this had been going on everything was collapsed all kindness and humanity gone. A tiny child was way crying lost and all alone it was famished, scared bleeding and chilled right through to the bone.
Death could no longer bare to hear it’s cries and decided to go and picked it up, he guessed it was about time this last child in world died.The devil said I’ll race you , with an evil grin. No ! cried death I want this pure heart, but for the original it is truly without sin!
The Devil did not argue he was having fun, with God as so far a no show he would get the soul’s of everyone.
Well here is the situation the horsemen were all back the earth was totally wasted it had been well and truly sacked! Peace and Love were broken their smiles completely gone the flowers in their hair all dead weeds and the light in their eyes all gone. Mercy was so very tired stretched beyond belief she had spread herself so thin all her plans had come to grief.
Faith and Hope
Faith and Hope had arrived but they had arrived too late which only goes to show that you cannot cheat fate!
The Devil was happily punching numbers of the souls that he could take , this was more than he could ever hoped for OH! the penances he would make them take!
Death got up and started the slow walk to the door every inch of his body ached and his back bore every second of millennia that had gone before.
Coffee anyone, Death heard the Devil say. As he hobbled towards the crying child Death wiped a tear away.

The suddenly a hand appeared in the sky it reached down and stroked the baby’s head to stop it’s cry……………………
Nothing was normal, nothing was the same fighting and riots and killing it certainly was the Devil’s own game. There were riots over food and looting of shops people attacked each other all policing had stopped. The army, the police, everyone had long since given up so those who were armed were taking no truck.
Fires raging blood running hot, a young couple making love in the middle of a riot and no one gives a jot. Babies and children abandoned, animals deserted all human failings to the fore and alerted.
Mercy bent down and gently took Gabriel’s hand don’t despair Gabriel all is not lost I feel Hope and Faith close at hand. But cried Gabriel where is God, why has he left us when our need is most I don’t know whispered Mercy who looked tired and as white as a ghost.
Peace and Love were huddled in a corner trapped by two demons who were bankers in a life that was former. They were busy chanting and singing of love in fact they had attracted a beautiful white Dove.
Death was sleeping he had felt so over whelmed so much was happening and none of it good. War was triumphant the whole world was fighting, famine was happy too, stuffing himself with Prawns and Whiting. Pestilence was in his element with all hospitals nothing but empty buildings full of rotting corpses. Mercy took her phone out and with her fingers crossed she made a call, Please hurry up Hope bring Faith things here look all but lost.
Gabriel wept, Gabriel cried his God was not there , his God on whom he relied. This was frightening this was new without God by his side what was he to do.
He was always there at his side , Gabriel was his Archangel he lead the heavenly troops but with his God away Gabriels feelings were beginning to droop.
The Devil got cocky the Devil got loud. What’s up Gabe boy,what’s up with you now? The Devil got up and strode to the bar and ordered a coffee from the un-dead barista, the poor guy did as he was told he was surprised he could get up, shit he felt cold!
Death returned but he was looking very tired he had a rag tag line of good souls that he had acquired. He sat down at the table next to Gabriel and announced he was feeling his age. He had lost sight of his three brothers they were still out on the rampage!
War, Famine and Pestilence were having a ball they were scouring the planet and laying it to waste for once and for all. Death was too tired, he had lost his grip his bones were aching and his feet were giving him gip! He ordered one last latte and waited for the count , it was black outside everywhere, riots and murder the death toll was a rising amount.
Gabriel wept, Gabriel cried his God was not there , his God on whom he relied. This was frightening this was new without God by his side what was he to do.
