The Great Flood

A week later, rumbling black ominous clouds amassed in the darkening sky; the first innocuous raindrops fell. The heavens opened as the rain came down in large king-size sheets amongst eye-closing flashings and thunder. There was never a storm like this before and there’d never be again. After two days, people began to beat on the door yelling and screaming, begging Noah for mercy in absolute hysteria. A million tears flowed as the family listened for days at the insistent forlorn cries of unimaginable distress. The sounds of hundreds of babies crying cut into their souls. Compassion and pity flared mightily in those locked within the ark, and they prayed for The One to have mercy; but the door was sealed shut and no one inside was capable of opening it. A billion terrible heartbeats later, the ark slowly began to rise on the water away from its moorings.

The ark trembled and roared as the raging waters rocked it. Inside, hundreds of animals barked, screeched, snorted, and whimpered at the tremendous booming that vibrated the very air. The sounds of panic mixed with the bone chilling vibrations of the storm dropped all to their faces, trying to hold on to anything for dear life, terrified regardless of The One's promises. The background noises were mixed with thousands of men, women, animals, and children screaming, and dying. Many besieged by the unrelenting currents and wind tunnel gales, tried clinging, scratching in desperation, hands bloody as the seething waters overwhelmed them.

The rain sounded like millions of boulders landing on the roof. The world flickered with startling brilliance; thunder displaced the oxygen as lightening swirled above the brackish waters. The huge three-story structure trembled at the unrelenting impacts. And amongst the howling winds, the forlorn sounds of a billion monsters screaming intermixed with the persistence of some unknown - something scratching desperately at the wood of the ark. Tears poured from their eyes. Surely, this was the end of the world.
