Jesus, just get your butt down here already!


From Chapter One, Page 2:


It was an endless interstate that ran for miles and miles to places I had never been. Places I had only heard about. Places that were forbidden. Places that seemed impossible.

My parents were perfectly content in this town – it was a big metropolis compared to the towns they grew up in. And moving somewhere else was pointless, because Jesus was coming back any day. My mother said to be ready. I shared her excitement of his return. I wanted him to come back. I wanted him to destroy everything and take me away from all of this. Anything was better.

But Jesus hadn’t come back yet…and it was really pissing me off!
