The Darkness Descends I bundled up against the freezing winter wind and zipped down to the local Dollar General on my e-scooter. The fluorescent lights hit me first, that harsh institutional brightness making everything look poisoned. Then the smell - plastic, cardboard, chemicals. I could practically taste the spiritual decay in the air.
This Used to Be a Thriving Town When I was a kid, this place was full of life. Mom-and-pop shops, family-owned businesses, a real sense of community. Now it's all corporate chains and sameness. Every town the same, every soul consumed by the machine.
The Writing on the Wall I don't need to be a prophet to see what's happening. The book of Daniel warned us - a coming kingdom that would "devour the whole earth."

The Final Countdown Revelation 13 is unfolding before our very eyes. The surveillance state, the digital currency, the mark of the beast. The technology exists right now to trap the human soul. Brain chips in the forehead. Every transaction recorded. Is this the culmination of 2000 years of prophecy?
"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
