Re: Persons of Interest?
In reply to Israel Levy (msg # 33):
I know it's hard to believe, shoot, it took me several weeks to muster the courage to do this, but it was meant to be!My name is Alec Shaw, and I'm 26 this August. I know you think I'm crazy, but you've seen the proof yourself! I pray and God reveals to me where to go, where I'm needed. I haven't even had to fight anybody yet! These guys? I charge, a bright light shines, and they sit down like they've been poleaxed! Bullets stream by like they can't get near me! I was an athlete in school, still in shape, more or less, I have decent money. the point is, I've had faith, but never life changing faith until recently. I realized that to whom much is given much is expected so I got rid of my life's superfluities, and dedicated my life to serving God! That night, I felt...energized, strong, like I was at long last on the Right Path! I started to glow, and that's when I knew God's plan for me!
He sweeps his arm towards the downed thugs, then points along the way to an old building 3 blocks away. A building where you notice 6 windows, each with guns pointing in this general direction. His face grow serious, and a strange light shines within his eyes. As he speaks, his voice is the same, but stronger, more confident, and, somehow, enriched.
Rapists, murderers, drug dealers, they have had a strangle hold on our city too long. God has heard the cries of the people, and, like Moses, has raised me up to free his people. Do not look at me like that brother, I do not think myself as great as Moses, but when called, did he not also try to convince God he was unworthy? God replied He had made him that way, prepared him for the job ahead. The same with me, He has chosen me to aid the faithful, smite the wicked, and spread His GLORY!!
And with that the nutter's off down the street, charging the building, where, naturally, you hear the shattering of glass and the firing of guns. Watching him for a moment, you realize this guy is no bolt of lightning...but he might be bullet proof. Nothing has hit him yet, and they've certainly had opportunity. Maybe their collective aim is as fried as their collective brains?
