RAPTURED

It is business as usual in the unknown future. On the highway everyone is just driving along, intent on getting to their appointment on time, or just concentrating on staying awake. Suddenly without warning a Hummer swerves out of control straight into a hapless Smart car. Fortunately the driver of the Scion xB behind them was paying attention and managed to skid to a stop without damage.The driver of the Smart car stumbles out holding his head, meanwhile there is no movement inside the Hummer...The Scion driver runs to help those who might be in the overturned Hummer, while the man in the passenger dials 911 as he goes to assist the victim in the Smart car.
To his surprise and horror, only the clothes of what must be assumed to have belonged to the driver, are to be found in the overturned car.
"There... Theres NO DRIVER! Dial 911!!"

"911 what is your emergency?"
"There's been an accident, one of the drivers seems to have a concussion, the.. the other driver is gone.."
"Ok try to relax sir, what do you mean gone?"
"He's just gone! There's no blood.. NOTHING! He's just GONE!"
"Okay sir we will get there as soon as we can..."
"We need help NOW!"
"I understand sir, but we... 'yes Chief it's another one'... sir please understand we are being overwhelmed with similar calls as we speak..."


dun dun dun duum

*BOOM*


So since my temple is finished, I again wanted to build something Biblical, but on a MUCH smaller scale. I decided on the rapture, when Jesus comes back for all the Christians, because I had wanted to make a foray into building an apocalypse type scene, and it might as well be Bible based right? Having watched the Left Behind movies, I did base some of this off a particular car wreck sequence in the first movie, soon after the rapture. I had wanted to put a plane crashing into the trees (the pilot having been raptured), but it proved to difficult. It is just frightening how much destruction will occur in those moments, the countless car wrecks, and all the airliners with Christian pilots, thinking about it makes me VERY glad that I won't be here when it happens.
