Doomsday was inevitable, and for the first time in Rock's experience, the outcome was beyond his control. Someone, perhaps a producer or director with Hollywood connections, had arranged what at first appeared as a fictional presentation that involved the end of God and the heavens, followed by all mankind.
In the drama, the fate of Mary, the mother of Jesus in the Bible's New Testament, was in the hands of its audience, though no one watching knew what hinged on the result. Viewers' boredom was evident to Rock, and they chose to turn off the program, which was a cinematic reproduction of what seemed like a live stage play.
Once the audience had made their choice, they saw Mary's head exposed in an all-black room, extended through a small opening in the floor. Her head was shaved bald, and Rock and the audience watched as it dissolved into a pool of blood and flesh.
Rock wondered why there was still traffic on the street in front of his house. He knew the world was done. Perhaps a tube of Gu would help him feel better through the final hours.
