Going to See the Beast
by William Sanders
It was along about nine in the morning when Boss Lady called me in to tell me we were going to go see
the Antichrist tomorrow.
"Make sure your best suit is clean and pressed," she said, "and tell Joe Bob to wash and wax the car."
"The big car?" I said. She's got like half a dozen of them. "The limo?"
"Of course," she said. She said it with that kind of a sharp voice that she gets when she thinks somebody
is being dumb, which with her is most of the time. "See to it his uniform is presentable, too. I couldn't
believe those boots, last time."
We were in her office up on the second floor of the big house. She was setting at her desk with her back
to the window. I think she does that so the light will hurt your eyes when she's talking to you. She had on
a white silk shirt. She won't wear no other kind of a shirt but silk. Even with the light behind her you
could see she wasn't wearing no brazeer.
She give me this little bitty smile, without showing no teeth. It made her look exactly like her picture in the
newspapers that she used to write for. There was a big framed copy of that picture on the wall by her
desk, next to the one of her with the President.
"I bet you never guessed," she said, "back a couple of years ago, that you would some day be meeting
the Supreme Ruler of the World."
"No, ma'am," I said, "I sure never."
I still remember the day it all started. Me and my cousin Joe Bob was just walking down the street in
Fort Worth when all of a sudden there was all these people flying up through the air. Just sailing straight
up towards the sky, easy as you please, and ever single one of them buck bare ass naked. It was the
prettiest sight I ever saw. Well, except for the men and some of the real old ones.
You could hear this music, too. Wasn't very good music, you couldn't boogie to it, mostly sounded like a
bunch of horns blowing, but it was plenty loud. It kept playing while the people flew on up into the sky
and then you couldn't see them no more and then it stopped.
Well, I don't mind telling you I just stood there on the sidewalk with my mouth hanging open through the
whole thing and then some. I didn't know what to think. Then it hit me.
"Joe Bob," I said, "we been left behind!"
Joe Bob didn't say nothing. I don't think he heard me. He was walking around picking up and sniffing the
underpants some of the ladies had left on the sidewalk when they flew away.
Me, I was just so shook I had to go over and set down on the hood of this Cadillac that was parked
close by. I put my face in my hands for a minute, thinking Lord God, what's going to happen to me now?
I mean I knew what was going on. Mama always took me to church with her and I had heard the
preacher talk about the Rapture and the End Times and all that stuff. And I believed it, you understand,
he was reading it out of the Good Book so it had to be so. But I never thought I'd live to see it
personal.
