Eternal Revelations

By Candis Vargo

As Hell reins terror on the earth, can one child bring back humanity and defeat the Devil himself? After millions of people vanish and the dead rise to spread plague over the Earth, 23 year-old Evelyn and her brother join with a small group as they fight for survival. As the plague spreads and the number of the Reanimated rise in humans and animals alike, there isn’t anything man made that is strong enough to hold them off. When Evelyn and her group find one of the only children left on Earth—an Autistic child—the Devil begins lurking in the darkness, following their every move.

Candis Vargo

Growing up on an old dirt road in the middle of nowhere, as a child Candis used her love for books as a way to escape reality (and her brother constantly trying to kill her--literally). She blames her love of all things Horror on being born on Friday the 13th and will always find joy in scaring her friends. You will find a little piece of her in every book she writes. She loves a good happy ending, but most of the time she prefers one she never saw coming. When she's not writing or reading, she can usually be found chasing her children around. She currently lives in Rome, Pennsylvania with her husband and three children. And her fat cat. *Published with Limitless Publishing*

Chapter 1

Smithton, Virginia

At least a dozen people vanished in the local Smithton Church this morning. The cause is unknown but there were several eye witnesses who reported a blinding light right before the disappearances. Some believe this is a small town hoax, but other wonder if it is something more. This is Action News 16 bringing you the latest information in the mysterious disappearances that are stretching all across our nation. These mysterious vanishings occurred across the globe today at approximately the same time, but we are told to inform you not to panic. The government is doing everything they can to solve these cases and find out who, or what, is behind this elaborate hoax.

We interrupt this program for an important message from our President.

The screen turned black before it flicked to images of President Obama giving a speech.

"We understand that everyone is extremely worried about these disappearances. Thousands of people have vanished right in front of our own eyes. However, there is no need to panic. This is not some Alien invasion like the UFO enthusiasts would lead you to believe. This is not some act of God. There is no other explanation except for a well-organized, elaborate hoax set upon us.

We realize there were as many witnesses as there were disappearances, but we must stress the fact that with the ‘blinding light’ people have reported seeing when the missing vanished, gave more than enough time for them to run out and go into hiding. Right now our main focus is to find where they are hiding to put their families and friends at ease. With the majority of the missing being children under the age of 15, it is our main priority to return those children to their families. As hard as it is to believe, this is one horrible joke being played upon all mankind. And we must stay calm and join together in the search for the missing. Please, remember to stay calm and do no unnecessary traveling, so we may search for the missing without any interference. Thank you.

The TV flicked back to the local news. The beliefs of Alien abductions rise as more and more people report missing family members. The numbers of missing children are climbing, and right now it seems as though every child there is has disappeared. Panic is rising across the nation as small riots are breaking out in New York City, Cleveland, and Houston as of right now. We will bring you further information after your local weather.

Evelyn began flicking through the channels to see if there was any more coverage about these disappearances. Every channel she flicked through seemed to be covering it. She stopped switching the channels when she saw one reporter interviewing a police officer.

Officer! Officer! Do you have any more information regarding these mysterious disappearances striking across not only our county, but the entire world?

As of right now, the best thing to do is stay calm. Our offices are over run with citizens in panic over this. If a child is missing, please call 9-1-1 and they are set up to take full reports there to hand over to us so we can continue on investigating. Adults aren’t considered ‘missing’ until 48 hours have passed. I understand many of you are worried, but give us at least these next 48 hours to take the missing children, and if your loved ones are still gone, call and do a report. I’m sorry, but as you can imagine, we are over run. We don’t have nearly enough staff to handle all of the cases that are coming in but we are doing everything we can to keep the investigations active while taking reports, and keeping everything civil. This has affected the whole globe and it is improbable that the federals will get to step in and assist. As you can imagine, with these so called disappearances, there have been many traffic accidents, plane crashes, train wrecks, several ships are stranded out to sea with only a few civilians on board. This is everywhere and we are doing everything we can here. Thank you.

As the officer turned to walk away, lights began to flash all around him like he was a celebrity posing on the Red Carpet. Several reporters began asking questions, but their voices trampled over one another. They all began shouting as the police officer walked back toward the station and the crowd of reporters grew louder.

Officer! Officer-officer-officerofficerofficer!

Fucking great, Evelyn thought.

She had no idea what was going on but she knew she didn’t want to be part of it. It took a mere moment before Evelyn grasped the reality of what was happening and ran for her cell phone and began dialing numbers. Several numbers were dialed…with no answer.

She began with her family and friends, un-able to get through to but a handful of coworkers. She clasped the phone in both of her hands as she sat down back in front of the TV. Her heart sank as she began to wonder what exactly was happening. She believed in a lot of things, but alien abductions weren’t one of them. Why couldn’t she get through to her family? Where were they? Were they among the missing?

When her phone vibrated in her hands as it rang she was snapped back to reality. She didn’t bother to look at the caller ID before she hastily flipped it open and said ‘hello.’ Relief flooded over her when she heard the sound of her brother’s voice.

Ev! Ev, holy shit! I’m glad you answered. My god. I don’t know what the hell is going on but…but just tell me where you are and stay there!

I’m at home. Jase, I haven’t been able to get a hold of mom or dad or anyone really. Wha-

Alright. I should be there in about ten minutes. Stay. There. Jason hung up before Evelyn got a chance to say
