OK I might kick myself for this but since there are so many new people I thought heck let's give it a go.

The rules you can pick any character on the board or make one up as long as it makes sense to the story line.
You do not have to play the same character all the time, so you do not have to wait for someone else to post to continue the story.
You can play any character at any time.......so let that actor in you emerge be creative and read on.

It is 2007 on New Years Eve. The scene on a train and most people on the train are on their way to Manhattan, New York to see the ball drop in Times Square.
The train jolts to a halt and several people disappear the rapture has just ocurred!

Remember to build the story line....I will signal you all when the rapture hits....have fun and remember the characters on the train are the ones who are Left Behind so make them interesting.

About 20 people in the car.
Some characters to choose from or create your own.
A Christian Church group on there way to a midnight service.

A 21 year old girl and her best friend, the best friend is a born again Christian.

A 70 year old man and his wife. The wife is saved the husband is not.

A couple getting married, the woman just accepted Christ and the man she is marrying is Jewish and orthodox and is upset she is converting what he calls it.

A gangsta thug and some of his homies smoking on the train.

A singer who's car broke down and had to take the train is all dressed up with her mic and music late for her New Years gig.
I will play this character and keep it.

Action starts the scene.......Cut and print ends it.
As the director I will let you know when we begin and end.
Have a blast!

ACTION


Scarlet an attractive woman of 33 sits on the train looking at the strange bunch of characters around her.
She fidgits with her equipment and is completely annoyed sitting in this cesspool of NY strangers.
A young thug looks at her and winks, she smiles back, he's cute and hunky and she knows better than to diss him publically.
She sqirms in her seat as she beats herself up silently for getting in this mess.
She is late for a great well paying gig, she needed this money to fix her car which finally died tonight of all nights. She had chanted to Bhudda all week long with no results. She prayed to the Goddess the week before that and still no help financially. She tried Hare Krisna last month but she just couldn't connect. Her friend had told her all about Jesus and told her about getting saved and a rapture just yesterday, a crazy Jesus Freak Susie had beomce. What in the world was that all about she thought. Sure someone is going to come in a cloud and take everyone right. Poof.
She mutters unders her breath "I hate my life."

Enrique knew he was good looking and that cute little older woman sitting across the way from him was fine. But his boys were with him so he had to be cool.
He looked at her with his smokin eyes.....and winked.
His friends punched his arms and laughed "Yo rico she's so out of your league."
He knew it by looking at her, he tugged on the cross around his neck the gang ribbed him for wearing it but his grandma gave it to him before she died that night in his arms, it was the last time he ever cried he loved her so, she raised him and then it was the foster home.
At 21 he needed to get a life and he still swam in grief, in the loss of her and his childhood.
He looked back at the pretty lady but her eyes were closed. He felt that rage building in him again and controlled it. His grandma said Jesus was save him why didn't he, he would never believe, it was a lie. He felt for the knife in his pocket and held it for security no one would ever make him for small or less than again.

Christina was all excited about tonight. Our first New Year's Eve as "drinking adults". She had long since fantasized about this night. The bottle of champagne she had in her purse bumped a nearby pole, and she pulled it close. Marie may not approve, being a born-again Christian, or whatever she called it, but being her best friend, Christina was determined to show Marie how to have fun! 'We'll have a toast and maybe even find some guy to kiss, like in those old movies.", she thought. Christina looked over at Marie, and gave her a smile. "Yes, tonight was going to be a memorable one!", she told herself.

Esther sat in the seat next to her husband Roy. They had been married for 42 years. It had been a rough life. Roy was a drinker and he had not made life easy for her. Still she had never believed in divorce so she had patiently put up with his cruelty and dreamed of the day when Jesus would come for her. Tonight would not be a peaceful one. Roy had been drinking and was spoiling for a fight. Her stomach was in knots as she waited for their stop. Oh how she wished she could just leave this life behind and know the peace that had eluded her on earth.

"Yes, tonight was going to be a memorable one!", she told herself.


Scarlet opened her eyes and noticed that young man joking with his friends, they punched his arms and laughed, and she caught the strange look he gave her, brooding, dangerous, and so sad. She turned away quickly.
She looked around the train and noticed a young girl and her clean cut looking friend right in front of her, near a pole. She heard the girls bag, bang the pole, and it startled her, but she recognized the sound of glass and gave the girl a knowing glance. A bottle of alcohol, she was sure was in that bag, she knew because she too used to get high and drunk, still drank a little, but she no longer liked getting high just made her tired.

Roy had been drinking and was spoiling for a fight. Her stomach was in knots as she waited for their stop. Oh how she wished she could just leave this life behind and know the peace that had eluded her on earth.

She laughed to herself, someone was going to have a hang over in the morning she thought, and then moved as the man next to her pressed a little too close. She smelled his breath.... whew, this one started early. She glanced over to see an attractive older woman next to him. She looked older than her years, worn, probablly from this guy sitting next to her, her husband Scarlet assumed.
The hummmm of the train lulled her but she fought falling asleep, it was bad enough she would be late but she needed to be up and ready to perform.
She pulled out her ipod to listen to the songs she downloaded that she was singing tonight...the music drowned out the crowd that was beginning to get in a party mood.

Christina scanned the crowd, embarrassed by the looks that came her way when her bottle hit the pole. "They all must know", she thought. The riders are the train were varied she noticed. An older couple sat nearby, and Christina said to herself, "Am I ever going to be that old? I guess it's good they have each other though.". She glanced across at the nicely dressed woman listening to something on her iPod. She wondered why a lady like this was riding the train. Christina caught her eye for a second, and realizing she was staring, looked away. A group of young studs were nearby... hmmmm.... Christina nudged Marie, teasing her about perhaps kissing one of them at midnight. Marie blushed, hoping the guys didn't hear Christine.

Enrique turned his attention from the older woman to two young girls giggling, one who was eyeing his group.
He nudged his pal and winked at the one who looked like she was looking for a good time.
His pal laughed "Rico that is trouble man..." Rico smiled "Yeah I know, and I like trouble."

Christina saw him wink her direction. This could make for an interesting night. She looked him over, and smiled back at him. Quickly, she grabbed Marie's shoulder and pulled her in to whisper, " Look, that guy is wearing a cross! He must be Christian, and a good looking one too! " Marie started to worry, then remembered to take it to the Lord. She prayed silently that this would pass over her, so she and Christina could have a nice night without trouble.

Enrique saw the cute girl smile back at him. He tried to look uninterested girls liked that, and he needed to look macho for his boys. "Yo Rico she's flirting with you bro, she's got it bad" "Shut up Tito or I'm gonna knock you out." Enrique looked at her and winked again. She blushed. He noticed the older looking woman starting at the two of them. He grinned at her and mouthed "Don't be jealous baby, there's plenty of me to go around." His friends laughed and started making sounds. Yeah Rico thought there was gonna be lots of fun tonight and he was gonna get every bit of it.

Scarlet watched as the gangsta boy and miss cutesy flirted, what was she thinking he's a kid, she wasn't jealous but it bothered her still.
She noticed him eyeing her, and saw him mouth to her "Don't be jealous baby, there's plenty of me to go around." Scarlet turned beat red and looked away . He is totally conceited and young. Get a grip Scarlet.
She looked at her cell phone the time was 8:10 pm her gig started at 8:00 pm she still had no reception on her phone and this was the longest tunnel they had gone thru in her life...the stops seemed to come farther and farther apart she had to go all the way up to 42nd street and they were only at west 4th.
She hoped next year was going to be better.
She muttered under her breath "I need a life."

Amos had always heard God speak to him. He had since he was a child. He felt in his heart that GOD was speaking to him tonight and it was strong and powerful.
He knew what he had to do as he had done before but this was different he knew it in his heart.
He opened the doors between the train cars and entered the new car and began to speak loudly and clearly...


16"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18"He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.


The people around him began to grow silent and he repeated it again. A group of boys were eyeing him. He was not as young as he used to be, his 73 years looked good on him though, and he had been beaten up many times before for the love of his savior. He knew he had an audience. Repent now and seek the way of the Lord the hour of judgement will soon be upon us.
He held his breath because at that moment you could have heard a pin drop.

Christina saw the old man get on the train. What was he talking about? After he repeated his plea for repentance, she was stunned at first. Repent?? Me?? How dare he try to throw guilt on all of us heading to party! She pondered on how she could use this to her advantage. Christina was good at that. With a glance toward the boys and a nudge at Marie, she said in the silence, "Oh, I see someone has been starting to party a little early! Bring whatever you've been drinking and join us to watch the ball drop". She laughed, knowing it brought her the attention she craved. Marie, flushed, tried to quiet Christine's brash remarks, but it was in vain. Marie quietly apologized for her friend, not knowing if anyone heard.

Enrique and his friends looked up as this crazy old man started to preach. He was ready to say something when in the silence the cute girl yelled, "Oh, I see someone has been starting to party a little early! Bring whatever you've been drinking and join us to watch the ball drop". Him and his buddies laughed, Enrique looked at the girl and said "Hey baby we will party with you." and her threw her a kiss.

Amos looked at the girl with a sadness in his eyes. And spoke. "The Lamb of God died for your sins dear little sister, give Him your heart today or seal your doom this day with Gods judgement. Repent I pray please repent."

Enrique felt his heart leap and then his anger took over, "Old man you better watch the way you speak to my lady over there." He bowed toward the young girl.

Scarlet sat watching the scene unfold before her knowing in her heart something was about to happen and she knew she did not want to be around to see it.
This young girl and that thug, she knew trouble was in the making, and the old mans words chilled her to the bone.
Her heart leapt when he spoke and then the cold chill that she felt wash over her scared her to death.

Until now, Anna, a woman in her mid-forties had remained silent, watching the scene that unfolded before her, while the train traveling at great speed, was rather unnerving. She clutched onto her purse, holding it tight to her chest, not knowing or really trusting some of the people who were roudy and desiring to “par-tay.” “Hmmm,” thought Anna, as she saw Christina and the bottle that broke. She wondered in her heart, if this woman had need of inner healing...she wished she could say something to her, but was afraid. So instead, she thought of the tiny white book with gold lettering, a new testament, that she carried in her pocket of which she secretly, but proudly carried close to her heart. She loved the Lord, greatly, but was lonely, still. Getting mind off self again, she got the courage to look and see diverse people traveling...there were people of from different worlds...she listened while Amos witnessed to Enrique, and marveled at the old mans strength and boldness...

Roy startled at the sound of the old man calling for people to repent. Surprise turned to irritation at the man's words. "Shut up" he yelled. "Nobody wants to hear you runnin' your mouth." Esther quickly tried to calm Roy down. He hated the word of God and he hated hearing anyone speaking of God or the Bible. "Please Roy, don't shout at him." Roy turned to Esther. "Woman, if you know what's good for you, you'll shut your pie hole. If you open your mouth again, I'm gonna fill it full of fist." Esther shrank back from him knowing full well that he meant what he said. Many Sunday's she suffered his wrath because she had went to church and tonight was gonna be as bad if not worse. She felt fear well up within her. Oh how she just wanted to die right here, right now. How she could take another night of this she didn't know.

Scarlets eyes widened as the man next to her threatened his wife with violence.
She had been the victim of an abusive father and would not take this from any man any more. She took the ipod out of her ear.
"Pardon me sir, but you are sitting next to me and if you are going to continue to sit here, you won't be threatening your wife or any woman for that matter, do I make myself clear."
She turned her head towards him and their eyes locked.
"I asked you a question mister, that is no way to talk to your wife or any woman. That does not make you a man it makes you a bully and a coward. You sir need therapy and a crash course in anger management."
The man next to her started to roll his fist and moved ever so slightly towards Scarlet. She stood up in her dress in heals and got into a Karate stance she learned in self defense. "GO AHEAD......MAKE MY DAY." She stood defiantly glaring at him ready to kick his personals to another planet.
The man mumbled "You ain't worth going to jail for and neither is she." He pointed to his wife, then he got up and moved his seat.
Scarlet sat back down and spoke to the woman who looked near tears. "I am so sorry miss but I couldn't listen to him talk like that to you, and neither should you."
She extended her hand, I'm Scarlet, do you need a friend?"
