David: Vicious Cycle

“The end is near!” shouted the unwashed guy on the street corner as I walked past. “Judgment is nigh!”

I couldn’t tell you why I stopped. “What kind of judgment?”

I’m not convinced he was focusing on me when he replied, “The End of Days is at hand! Make your peace, Michael; the day comes when all men are to be judged!”

He’d guessed my name. I was intrigued “‘Shall the end come in fire or in flood?’”

“Fire! From the sky! Next Monday!” That soon?!

That’s how I wound up broke, homeless, and unemployed. The end is near, Gerald!
