Rory, with a lunch sack in his hands, walked across Peach Street. He entered a little park that was popular with the bank's employees. Rory liked the park, it was quiet. He sat down at one of the park's wooden benches. He sat down and opened his paper sack. As he began to munch on a ham sandwich, he thought about recent events in his life.

Rory had been comforting his mother since his father disappeared with millions in an event called the Rapture. Rory felt his neck. As he munched on a carrot stick, he remembered an incident recently that shook him. 

Rory, Carlo and many others suffered a painful bite from giant locusts with tails like scorpions. It made Carlo and Rory very bitter toward God. Rory's mother kept warning Rory to stay away from Carlo Simpato.

Just when Rory had finished his lunch, he began to smell a faint odor of smoke. Rory frowned. The last time he smelled smoke, he was stung by a locust. 

All of a sudden, Rory jumped under the picnic table. He peeked up. Fear came over his face. Next to the table was a horse twice the size of a normal horse. Rory noticed the horse was not touching the ground. Flames and smoke was coming out of his nostril and mouth. The horses head was wide like the head of a lion. The rider of the horse looked like he was ten feet tall. He wore a breastplate that showed yellow, blue and red. Behind this lead horse in Rory's eyes looked like horses lined up as far as Rory could see.
