#ITSHAPPENING #TODAYSTHEDAY #LOOKUP

bing.... bing.... bingbingbing

It's so exciting the tweets, and texts, and posts just keep coming in... It's finally happening. I've been waiting so long for this moment, and now it's finally here. I pulled off the road so I could keep watch on the messages and pictures as they came in.

#AMAZING #ITSHERE #WHEREAREYOU

I promised myself I wouldn't miss any of this as I flipped between the apps on my phone staring intently as the messages came flying in. Once they started to slow down I put the car back in drive, and pulled back onto the highway. There were abandoned cars everywhere now, flaming wreckage where they smashed into each other. I managed to make my way through the wreckage into town my eyes darting down to the incoming messages as I did. At last, I hurriedly pulled over eager to see what I'd missed.

It was incredible, so many people, so much happening. My eyes were glued to the screen.

#ITISDONE

And just like that the messages stopped, I looked up from my phone to see maybe a dozen other people doing the same. Tearing their eyes away from the now vacant flow of information. One by one they began to look up at the sky, one woman burst out in tears, and a man nearby crumbled to the ground sobbing. I stepped out of my car and looked up just to see the last of the angelic figures pull one final soul into the heavenly beyond. I looked down once again at the silent piece of metal and plastic in my hand.

It's not fair, I just didn't want to miss out.
