Excerpt from Perfidy
Amidst the distant thunder, joyful laughter echoed from the lake, where neighbors enjoyed the warmth and precious moments with their families. A dog barked against a backdrop of lapping water. The fresh scent of pine trees and lilacs, mingling with a faint aroma of cut grass, caused a slight stinging sensation in my nose.
I put aside my musings and glanced at Noah, scrolling on his tablet with a smirk curling his lips. His champagne-curly hair and amber eyes glistened under the patio lights.
A foreboding presence lurked nearby. I couldn’t say I liked the times I could sense danger. But my senses became more acute when I sensed otherworldly energy. They penetrated every fiber of my being, creating a powerful sensation.
Then, a harsh grinding and banging sound echoed in the twilight.
“Get a grip,” I spoke out loud.
“What? What was that sound?” Noah’s head jerked up, and he tilted to acknowledge my outburst.

I never imagined I would experience a resonating boom from the sky. On January 16, 2018, at approximately 8:00 p.m. EST, a thunderous noise erupted outside, prompting me to think that perhaps some people were joyriding through our usually peaceful neighborhood. The thought of racers speeding along our street unsettled me. However, it soon became clear that the source of the sound was celestial. A meteorite collided with our atmosphere, creating a 2.0 explosion. Scientists later confirmed that the meteorite fragmented upon entry, resulting in a startling noise, with fragments scattered across Michigan. The following day, many ventured out to collect pieces of the meteor.
On a spiritual note, the Bible predicts that God will send His Son, Yeshua/Jesus, and there will be a call from the Archangel to awaken the dead first, followed by the living, who will be “caught up” in the glory of Heaven. A day will come when Jesus returns for His faithful church. As stated in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: “For the Lord himself will descend from Heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.”
