Left Behind: A Tribulation Story

[RelientKFan2006]

Hi. I'm new here, and I thought I'd give this a shot. I've RPGed for a few years now, and I'm looking for a few good writers to join this with me.

Plot: This story is about teens who were left behind after the rapture. The plot will go through the judgments described through the book of Revelation, as well as the rise of the antichrist and the mark of the beast, as in the Left Behind books. (If you have any questions about the Biblical outline of any of this, let me know.) I will post an outline of the judgments so that everyone can be on the same page. (Posted below...)

How to join: Post a bio with a description of your character (both physical and otherwise). Feel free to include any family background or incorporate it into the story later. Also, write a short scene description of where your character(s) was/were at the time of the rapture.

Other stuff:
-Please keep the language clean and the sexual content to a minimum.
-Please do not get mad about "godmodding". Post the longest passages that you can, especially if two characters are just having a conversation. However, DO NOT make major decisions for another person's character. The reason that I am asking for long posts is because I might not be able to be on every day due to out-of-town athletic events and I do not want to hold up the whole story...Thanks for being understanding.

My Bio:

Name: Mackenzie Rossman

Age: 17

Height: 5'5

Weight: 110

Hair color: Dark Auborn

Eye color: Green

Time of Rapture:

Mackenzie sat in the back of her parents car, head bobbing to the music from her CD player. Mackenzie loved music.

She and her parents were on their way to pick up her brother from the airport. He was away at college. Mackenzie couldn't wait to see him.

Mackenzie was looking out the window of the car. They seemed to be on the bad side of town. Suddenly, the car infront of them slammed on their breaks.

People got out of their cars. Everyone was running around. Tired screeched. Mackenzie leaned into the front seat to look into the car they had hit, but no one was in it...Only empty clothes.

Someone opened the car door next to Mackenzie. A strong grip around her arm ripped her from the car. She watched as the same thing happened to both other her parents. Her dad tried to fight, but suddenly dropped to the ground as the gunshot echoed in Mackenzie's ears. She felt the cold blade of a knife pressed against her neck. Her mom begged for Mackenzie's life.

"Please, take what we have...Do what you want to me...Just don't hurt her..Plea-"-She begged, but her voice turned into a gurgle as the thug ran a knife across her throat. Mackenzie watched helplessly as her mother's body sank to the ground, a pool of blood forming around it.

Suddenly, Mackenzie felt a sharp pain in her side. She looked down to see blood soaking through her shirt. She felt sick. Everything began to spin as she fell to the ground, her own blood forming a warm pool under her.

She watched as the men that tried to kill her got into her parent's car and drove away. She knew that nothing would be done about this. Who would care about the murder of three middle class people when all of this chaos was going on...?

After a few moments, when death didn't take Mackenzie as she had planned, she found the strength to get up.

She had no idea where to go. She had no family near here...She needed medical help, but so did so many other people. She had no money...So she just walked.

Finally, when the dizziness overwhelmed her and she couldn't walk anymore, she stopped on a doorstep. She rang the doorbell frantically. Finally, a young man about her age came to the door. She looked up into his face.

"Please, help me..."-She begged in a whisper as she fell limp in his arms.

((Anyone can write for the teenager who opened the door....))

Name: Chris Rossman (Mackenzie's brother)

Age:19 (sopomore in college)

Height: 6'1

Eyes: Blue

Hair: Blond

Other stuff: Chris playes basketball at his college. He and Mackenzie are really close. He comes home to see her whenever he can.

At the time of the rapture:
The plane had just landed. Chris was getting his luggage from the baggage claim. He was so excited to be home for Christmas break. He couldn't wait to see Kenz.

Chris grabbed his bags from the luggage claim. He watched with a smile as a woman ran to greet a man walking into the terminal. Suddenly, her clothes fell to the floor. The man looked horrified. Chris watched in panic as the same thing happened all over the airport.

His mind flashed back to Paul...Paul, his roomate, had tried to tell him about Jesus and this thing called the rapture...It sounded so stupid....Suddenly it all seemed so real....All Chris could think about was his family...He hoped they were safe. He had to find a way to get home...

He dialed Paul's number on his cell phone as he ran through the terminal, knowing that no one would answer...

Here's the outline:

The Tribulation lasts 7 years beginning with Israel signing a peace treaty with the anitchrist. The Tribulation is divided into two 3 and 1/2 year periods.

Seven Seal Judgments:
1. A conqueror (Revelation 6:1-2)
-This is the antichrist who takes power and later persecutes Christians.
2. War (Revelation 6:3-4)
3. Famine (Rev. 6:5-6)
4. Widespread Death (Rev. 6:7-8)
5. Cry of the Martyrs (Not an actual event that takes place on earth: See Revealtion 6:9-11)
6. Earthquake, sun turns black, moon turns red, stars fall to earth (meteor shower) (Rev. 6:12-17)

Event: 144,000 Jews are sealed with the mark of God (Rev. 7:1-8)

7. Prelude to the Seven Trumpet Judgments: silence in heaven for half an hour. (Rev. 8:1-6)

Seven Trumpet Judgments:

1. Hail and fire mixed with blood burn up 1/3 of the vegetation (Rev. 8:7)
2. Something that looks like a mountain falls into the sea, turning 1/3 of it into blood. 1/3 of the sea life are killed and 1/3 of the ships are destroyed. (Rev. 8:8-9)
3. Burning star falls to heaven, named Wormwood. It poisons 1/3 of the water, killing those who drink it.
4. 1/3 of the sun, moon, and stars are darkened. (Rev. 8:12-13)
5. A star falls from heaven, opening a bottomless pit from which locusts come out. Locusts sting only those not sealed by God, not killing them but putting them in agonizing pain for 5 months. (Rev. 9:1-12)
6. 200 million horsemen kill 1/3 of man kind by breathing fire and brimstone. Their tails are like snakes. (Rev. 9:13-21)

People: 2 witnesses appear at the wailing wall, speaking for the first 3 and 1/2 years of the tribulation. At the 3 and 1/2 year mark, they are killed, but brought back to life 3 and a half days later. (Rev. 11: 1-14)

7. Angel makes a proclimation. (Rev. 11:15-19)

Seven Bowl Judgments:

1. Sores on people who worshiped the image of the beast (antichrist). (Rev. 16:2)
2. Sea turns to blood and all the sea life dies. (Rev. 16:3)
3. Rivers turn to blood. (Rev. 16: 4-7)
4. Men are scorched. (Rev. 16:8-9)
5. Darkness falls and men knaw their tongues because of pain. (Rev. 16:10-11)
6. Euphrates is dried up. (Rev. 16:12-16)
7. Great earthquake and hail. (Rev. 16: 17-21)

That's just the basic stuff for now. I'll detail the outline later. If you have any questions about the Biblical terminology, please ask....

My Bio



Name: Matt Myers



Age: 17



Height: 6' 1"



Weight: 160 lbs



Hair Color: Blonde



Eye Color: Blue



Matt had always been a little bit of a rebel. Perhaps that is why he had never accepted Christ as his Lord. He was raised in a Christian home and had gone through all the motions but, had never wanted to give his life to the Lord.



Now, when Matt woke up this morning to find his parents and older sister gone with their clothes in their beds, and when he saw the news about the disappearances, he was not surprised. He had heard plenty of sermons on the rapture and wished he had acted sooner.



He was wondering what he was going to do when he heard the doorbell ringing. He opened the door and a teenage girl barely was able to cry out for help before she collapsed in his arms.



He carried the girl inside and laid her on the couch. He saw she had a blood stain on her side. He grabbed a washcloth and got it wet. He also grabbed the first aid kit from under the sink. After he grabbed the first aid kit he woke her up.

“It is okay. I am going to do all I can to help you.” “What is your name by the way?” He asked. He opened the kit and started cleaning her wound. “This may hurt a little bit.” He warned her. After cleaning the wound, he started bandaging it. “So how did this happen?” He asked her.

 

[RelientKFan2006]

((Hey, thanks for joining. Um, my character's name is Matt too, which might be confusing, so I'll edit.))

**Mackenzie Rossman**

Mackenzie looked up into the face of a complete stranger. She started to sit up, but he gently put a hand on her sholder.

"Try not to move. You're losing a lot of blood."-He said.

"Chris...I have to find Chris..."-Mackenzie muttered.

Mackenzie cleanched her teeth together as the boy cleaned her wound. She sat up a little and looked at it. She was going to need stitches....

She cried out in pain.

"Sorry..."-The boy said, trying to be more careful. "What's your name?"

"Mackenzie...You?"-She asked.

"Matt."

Mackenzie fought the urge to fall unconscience again. The pain made her feel sick.

"What happened?"-He asked again.

"I was stabbed...."-Mackenzie said slowly, trying to remember. "My parents were killed..."

"I'm sorry...."-He said softly.

Mackenzie wipped the tears from her eyes.

"Mine disappeared."-He said quietly. She could tell he was choking up.

"Why?"-She asked. "What happened? Why did people disappear?"

 

[gospel2005]

Matt told Mackenzie his story and explained what he believes.

 

[RelientKFan2006]

**Mackenzie Rossman**

Mackenzie still didn't understand.

"So, God came back and took all the good people?"-Mackenzie asked. "That doesn't make any sense. My parents were the best people in the world. They deserve to go to heaven more than anyone, and if what you're saying is true, they're in hell now. How could a loving God send good people to hell?"

**Chris Rossman**

The phone rang and rang...There was no answer. He hung up and dialed the house. He let it ring until the answering machine picked up, then hung up. He tried his parents cell. No answer. Mac's cell...no answer.

Frustrated, he shoved the phone back into his pocket. He slowed as he saw the long line at the car rental. He ran his fingers through his hair with a sigh.

Now what....?? He didn't know where his parents or Mackenzie were. He had no idea how to get ahold of them...

He walked to the parking area and looked at the chaos. He quickly walked around until he found a car with clothes in it, still running. It was blocked in by a few other cars. He slowly scooted the cloths over and got in the car. He tried to work the car out of the jam, but quickly got frustrated. He backed the car up against the one that was blocking him in, put the car in drive, and pushed the accelerator to the floor. He hit the car infront of him enough to move it where he could get out.

He drove in frustration at the slow moving traffic, hoping that Mackenzie or his parents would call him.

 

[gospel2005]

(I wanted to let you know that in your last post you said Matt Rossman but you changed his name to Chris. You might want to edit.)

Matt tried explaining to Mackenzie that it wasn't the good people who got taken but that it was the people who knew God and believed that Jesus is the son of God and that he died for our sins and rose again on the third day.

**Mackenzie Rossman**

Mackenzie sighed.

"I don't think I want to believe in a God that would allow all of this to happen. What kind of a God allows a 17 year old girl to watch her parents die right in front of her?"-Mackenzie murmered.

Her breathing was labored and she felt weak. Matt kept trying to stop the bleeding.

"I can't get it to stop..."-He said, worry in his voice. "You need stitches."

"We can't go to a hospital...I don't have any money..."-She said.

He picked up a phone and dialed three numbers...911 Mackenzie assumed.

Black spots danced in Mackenzie's eyes.

After a few moments, he set the phone down in aggrivation.

"I can't get through..."-He said, kneeling at her side again, pressing the rag on her wound again, making Mackenzie cry out in pain.

"I'm sorry...The bleeding is just getting worse...I can't even see how deep the cut is..."-He said.

He grabbed the phone again, but he still couln't get through.

Mackenzie could see the panic in his eyes.

His hands were covered in blood, her blood. "Am I going to die?"-She asked.

He didn't answer. He got up and paced.

"Can't we just go to the hospital?"-She asked.

He shook his head. "Nearest hospital is 30 minutes away without all the traffic...It'd take us over 2 hours to get there...."

"And..."-Mackenzie prompted.

"And I don't think you have that long."-He finished.

He kneeled by her side again.

"You have a needle and some fishing line?"-Mackenzie asked.

"Yes, but I can't play doctor. What if you get infected?"-He asked.

"Matt, please...It's my only chance."-Mackenzie said.

"Mackenzie...I-"-Matt started.

"Please...Help me."-Mackenzie begged.

He sighed. "Let me go get the stuff."

He returned with a needle, fishing line, scissors, towels, rubbing alcohol, and a bottle of asprin.

He got a glass of water and handed it to Mackenzie, along with some pills of asprin.

"It isn't much, but it's better than nothing."-He said.

She swallowed the pills.

He gently began to rub her stomach with the alcohol. Under any other circumstances, Mackenzie would have been uncomfortable with a guy she just met seeing this much of her stomach, much less touching her.

Mackenzie's thoughts were interrupted by a sharp pain. He pulled his hand back.

He handed her a rolled up wash cloth. "You might need to bite this..."-He said.

She nodded. "Wait...Can I borrow your phone?"-She asked. "I need to call my brother..."

He nodded, handing it to her. He began to steralize the needle and fishing line while she made the call.

**Chris Rossman**

Chris was inching along when his phone began to vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it out.

"Hello?"-He said into the phone.

"Chris...It's Mac..."-She said quietly.

"Kenz!!! Thank God your safe. Where are you guys?"-He asked.

"Chris....mom and dad are gone..."She said into the phone, choking up.

Chris couldn't believe what he had heard. "I...Where are you?"

"What's the address?"-She asked Matt.

He told her and she relayed to Chris. "Chris, it's a long story, but I got stabbed and a guy here is getting ready to put stictes in me....If things don't work out, I just wanted to tell you that I love you..."

"Mackenzie, hang on...I'll be there as soon as I can. And I love you too."-Chris said.

"Bye, Chris."-She said.

"Bye."-He replied, sutting his phone.

He couldn't believe what Mac just told him...He had to get to her...

 

[Rockchick4JC]

((((how could we include my character cause I really want to be in this RPG....))

 

[gospel2005]

(You could have your character be a cousin of mine and come over to my house looking for me when all the dissapearances happened.)

Matt finished sterilizing the needle at the same time Mackenzie finished with the phone. He took the phone from her and handed her the rag to bite down on. He was extremely nervous about stitching somebody up, especially since he had only tried sewing with thread and needle once.

He succesfully stitched the girl up. He told her that she could take the master bedroom if she wanted to lie down. He also said she should make herself at home.

"The master bedroom should give you all the privacy you need if you want to take a shower or change. Feel free to have any of my mom's clothes or jewelry that you want because I am sure that she won't need them now." Matt told Mackenzie. "If you need me I will be in the room on the bottom floor. The master bedroom is at the end of that hall." Matt said as he pointed to the hall he meant.

 

[Rockchick4JC]

Victoria finally thought of someone she thought she could go to..or at least see if he had'nt vanished with the other millions of people...
she took her car and went to her cousin Matt's house...
she knocked on the door...but then she remembered he kept a key under the door,she opened the door and came in..
"Matt......Matt....are you here???"
she saw where he was and she ran over....
"Matt..do you know whats going on?"

 

[gospel2005]

Matt had just finished telling Mackenzie where she could rest up when he heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw his cousin Victoria running towards him. She asked him what was going on so he told her what he believed happened. He informed her that he would love to talk but he was about to fall asleep standing up. He told her she could use the guest bedroom and that he would talk later after he got some sleep. Matt then headed to his room and cried himself to sleep.

Joe Kirk



Age: 16



Height: 5’ 11 ¾”



Weight: 165 lbs



Hair Color: Black



Eye Color: Brown



Background: He is an only child. He never truly accepted Jesus as his savior. He went to church and youth group but he never wanted to surrender his life over to the Lord.


Joe was at his house when the dissapearances happened. He watched his parents dissapear right before his eyes. As soon as he saw it happen he realized that it had to have been the Lord coming back for His people. He wished that he would have accepted Christ as his savior and had given his life to the Lord before this had happened. He had gone to church enough to know that he had a second chance should he choose to take it.

Joe knelt down and prayed, "God. I know I have been stupid and stubborn to not surrender my life to you earlier. I pray now that you would forgive me. I ask you now to become Lord of my life and to save me from my sins. In Jesus' name, Amen."

After he gave his life over to the Lord, Joe went into his room and wept until he fell asleep.

 

[gospel2005]

Jordan Kirk



Age: 19



Height: 6’ 2”



Weight: 183



Hair Color: Brown



Eye Color: Green



Background: He is Joe Kirk’s cousin. He constantly disagrees with Joe about Joe’s beliefs. He hates the idea of religion of any kind. He has a little bit of a rebellious streak in him.





Jordan was raised in a Christian home. He went to church but never believed. He hated anything to do with God. He always managed to sit in the back of the church and fall asleep at church. Jordan was at a party with some of his friends when the disappearances happened. He had gotten drunk and was able to sneak back into his room without anyone noticing. At least that is what he thought. He was an only child so the only person he had to try to sneak past was his parents. They were normally up pretty late, especially when he was out at night.



When Jordan woke up the next morning he had a hangover. He went out into the living room and that is when he really started to freak out. He saw his parents’ clothes just lying on the floor. It surprised him because his parents were neat freaks. He went to pick them up when he noticed his dad’s hearing aid, contacts, dental work, and wedding ring buried in the clothes. He went to his mom’s clothes and found her ring, glasses, and dental work. Jordan really started to freak out. He felt lost and had no clue what he was going to do.

 

[Rockchick4JC]

Victoria started thinking over what her cousin had said....
it seemed resonable that all of the believers were taken,"sounds more resonable than alien invasion" she thought....
she went into the guest bedroom and started crying...
"God if your really out there...why are you doing this to us?,do you hate us or something?" she said. when she asked if she was hated by God some sort of assurance that this really did happen and she was left behind came over her...she opened up a bible that had been on a shelf for a while...it was dusty....and the words were a bit worn out but she looked to see a boook called revelation...
some of the things she read sounded just like what was happining as of now....
suddenly she broke down and cried some more...
"Im so sorry,,,Im so sorry God..." she said choking back tears... "please help me....i cant do much more than ask you for help..."
................
in the Morning she got up and made her way into the kitchen and got some coffee...she waited for her cousin to come out so she could tell him her new beliefs....

 

[gospel2005]

Matt got up inthe morning feeling a little bit better. He walked down to the kitchen and saw that Victoria was already awake and that she had made a pot of coffee. She seemed to be anxious to tell him something so he made himself a cup of coffee and then he sat down at the able. "So, what's up?" he asked her.

 

[Yelena]

when I watch left behind It always leaves me thinking about whats going to happen. And if Im a good christian and stuff like that. Not that I dont think about it other time its just when you watch what happens to the people who dont take the mark. It just gets you thinking very hard.
