1. the hook


A guy I met at a college party—let’s call this guy Thomas—messaged me on Facebook asking if he could ask me a question:

Are you atheist?

I said yes, and he proceeded to tell me he had reason to believe the world was ending soon within our lifetimes and second coming Christ had already come.

Oh? I asked, curious. What reason do you have to believe that?

I’ll show you, he said.
