Carlo and Rory walked up to the fence. A large crowd had gathered. Carlo was holding a high powered rifle.

Carlo stared at the two witnesses. " Do either of you know what day today is?".

The two witnesses cried out. " Yes we know".

" Today is day 1261". Carlo walked up close to the two without fear.

" Where are your locusts?". He felt his face. " My face still hurts from their stings".

The two stared at Carlo in silence.

" Where are your horses that spew smoke and flame?".

The two witnesses were silent.

" And now I pronounce judgement". He cocked the rifle. " For the crime of preaching lies to my followers".

Rory and the crowd yelled. " Death, Death Death".

He walked up to the first witness and shot him in the back of the head. " The judgement is death".

" Death" yelled Rory and the crowd.

Carlo walked up to the other witness and shot him in the back of the head. He handed a nearby guard the rifle.

" Get rid of these two carcasses".

Three days later, a couple of followers were dancing around the bloody remains. They stepped back in horror when they heard a loud voice from heaven. " Come here". They watched as the two witnesses stood up and their bodies became transformed. They quietly rose up and vanished into a cloud.
