According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her\nentire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers\nof the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight. Atlantis is rising. Frogs are\nfalling. Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan."}, {"text_idx": "#000021", "text": "Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture.
