The Prophecy of Agnes

We are all made in the Gods' images.

Jesus had persuaded Sequa not to eat Agnes first born.
In exchange he would give Sequa immortality. Agnes was in tears
and fell to her knees in praise to Jesus. "You are God!" she sobbed.
Jesus handed Agnes some tissues. She was blowing her nose on his tunic.
"How can you make her immort-(she blew her nose into a tissue)?"
Agnes asked. Jesus smiled, "I made her a God."


"Wht-the-f-ck?!" Agnes fell back on her hands, "She'll send me to Hell!"


"Now. Now. Sequa has been given genetic enhancement that will be God like,
but her powers will be closely monitored by the Celestial Council of the Gods."
Jesus patted Agnes on top of her head, "I will protect you." Agnes struggled to her feet.
Her pregnancy was accelerated by her DNA rejuvenation and her belly had ballooned.
"What is her agenda?" Agnes measured her words through contractions.
"Are you having the baby?" Charlie dialed for an ambulance. Her water broke.

Agnes put her legs up on the arms of the red leather french chair.
Charlie ran to catch the baby. It was small and had black ant eyes with antenna.
The rest of the baby appeared to be human with both male and female genitalia.
Agnes screamed and pushed the infant away. "A monster!" she shouted and grabbed a
wine bottle to bash her babies head in. Charlie cradled the baby and ran from
the room as Jesus held Agnes.

"You would murder your own baby?" Jesus held Agnes as she struggled to break free.


Agnes tried to look away, "It's Sequa! She did this!"
Jesus held Agnes face so that he could look directly into her eyes;
"This is your baby. You must love it or give it up for adoption."
Agnes calmed herself, "I should have been told what was inside me."
"I didn't want to risk a war with Sequa." It was Kenny. Remy had restored him
from a pillar of salt. Agnes grabbed a carving knife from her dinner plate.


"You would murder this man for saving your baby's life?" Jesus stood between
Kenny and Agnes. "Okay. I'm going to have this pumpkin pie and go to the hospital."
Agnes stated with a nervous twitch in her left eye lid. The EMTs arrived and cleaned
up Agnes. She was rolled away on a gurney eating a slice of pumpkin pie.
The hermanphrodite ant baby was taken in a separate ambulance with Charlie.
Charlie filled out the paperwork, "name: Perry. Religion: Buddhist."

"I not certain the mother wants to keep the baby. If she doesn't; I will."
Charlie explained to the nurse. The nurse asked for Charlie's last name and
wrote in, "Perry Kabir." Charlie smiled broadly and kissed his baby on the
forehead between its antennae. "All life is sacred in Buddhism." Charlie said.
"Oh? That's sweet." the nurse replied with a toothy smile, "This will take
some time. There is a lunchroom down the hall."


Reflections~ If abortion is murder, then should it be punishable by death?
