John the Revelator

A man walked out of the rain and into a train station. A worn down Volkswagon key was set to his left. A terquoise umbrella was imploded and set further to his left. His legs were crossed and a red book with a cross on it was placed on his lap.

A female sat across fom him. Purple eyeliner. Large hoop earrings. A lession above her right brow. Cherry lipstick. Butterfly sunglasses.

The lips of the female slowly parted after being overly supplied with saliva from her tongue. "Hi" was silently said.

The male made no movements.

The Butterfly sunglasses quickly flew away from the females eyes. She nodded towards the restroom. "Tweny for tweny," was said slightly louder than her previous statement.

The book on the males lap was opened. He began reading, "Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name thy Kingdom come, thy will be alone on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive those who trespass against us lead us not into temptation-"

-"but delivah us," the female continued, again raising her voice, "from evil for thine is the kingdom and the powa and the glowy foreva and eva."

The male nodded.

"I heard it all befo, Mistah." The female closed her eyes and fell asleep.
