It has been a very long road for you Cliff, a road that I am very familiar with.
I know what it is like friend, I know what it is like to be beaten down, you be used, to be held back and I have watched you friend, I have watched you as your story has unfolded, I have watched as you have turned out match after match of exciting and scintillating displays of raw power.
And friend, we don’t want to hurt you.
We don’t want to beat you down Cliff, we want to extend you an invitation, we want you to know what a real family is like, we want you to know what a true community can be, when you are down we will lift you up, when you are high we will celebrate your greatness with you, not as those trying to live off your accomplishments but those truly celebrating all the greatness that you bring to the world.
The streets are hard Cliff, I know, I was there, I was without home, I was without friend, I was beaten down by an employer, a wife, I was torn asunder from all those that I thought were supposed to mean something to me, but no, they weren’t for me Cliff, they weren’t for me.
He was for me.
And he is for you too.
Don’t wallow with the pigs Cliff, join the gods, join a higher order a group of people who know what the real reasons for life are, to eliminate those that don’t understand, to form communal bonds with those of a similar interest.
He picks his people in a special way, he picks them for their talents and your talents are some that are truly understated, they are talents that would find a great use within our walls because people like you Cliff, they are special, they are wonderful.
And I want…
We want…
To share our community with you, this isn’t an invitation to take lightly because after an invitation has been extended it is hard to avoid, if you don’t come with me and he desires you badly enough he will come for you himself. See, the other people I have beckoned I didn’t offer them this, I didn’t offer them a spot at my side, they were pithy, to be used and disposed of, and I have disposed of them in my rare and brutal form.
But you, you can sit with us. You need a home, a family, people who have been through the very worst and have lived on, people who have suffered the greatest defeats and lived on, people who have had to go through things that are only seen on the late news and not only survived but found new purpose.
People like you Cliff. People like you.
And you, well you need us as we need you.
Please don’t take this invitation lightly, because it only comes once from me. And then he comes, and dealing with me is far easier.
{Darkness surrounds the area, a single torch is lit, we are in the middle of the forest, dense trees surround the camera and a makeshift teepee stands in the center of the area. Judas is on his knees, wearing his underwear, even more disheveled then the last time we saw him his body is covered with filth his beard is longer and more unkempt and his hair hangs like a ratty mess}
Oh what do you want me to do Operator, what is it that I am supposed to do… I have been here weeks, living off what I have found, eating berries and setting traps for food. What is it that you brought me here ?
{A deep pounding is heard, the camera is overtaken with static and it gains an odd color, switching to black and white, and a figure, the figure appears in the background, tall, with elongated legs, tentacles hypnotically waving from his back, that same eerie white face, Judas starts to cough involuntarily hacking an odd black substance from his mouth, the motion draws him to a bow, and when he reaches it, he stops coughing and raises his head just enough to look,}
{The heartbeat rhythm deepens and the sounds of waves are heard, Judas smiles to himself}
I understand, I understand what you want. I will seek them out; I will find them for you. I will find the true believers, the ones who are unable to see you, the ones who aren’t open enough yet. I will search the planet for them, I will look all over to collect them like an archeologist does relics, and I will bring them to you, I will teach them of your love and compassion, of your power and glory and we will live with one another sharing our love.
{A single light shines down from the sky, focusing on a spot in the ground, Judas crawls over to it, still unable to stand, still being forced to his knees by an unseen force. He starts to dig with his fingers, his hands clawing at the hard ground as his fingernails bend back in a crude manner}
I will find them…
{He continues to dig his hands turning a shade of black, blood starting to exit the tips as his mindlessly tears through rock and hard ground, and after some digging he finds what he is seeking, a box, he pulls it up from the ground and inside are many photographs, Polaroid pictures of people that have been taken while they haven’t been looking}
{Judas starts to leaf through them, crude writing is on the photos giving addresses and names and as he digs further into the box he finds piles of cash, money that a person could retire on, or money that a person could use to start something, to build something. The camera fades back to normalcy and The Operator disappears again. Judas is able to get to a sitting picture where he begins to rock back and forth, laughing to himself, clutching the money and photographs as if he has found a new reason for living.}
See Cliff, what he offers is eternal, it is glorious, and it is wonderful. I know not where his power comes from or where it derives from, I know not who is part of his informational network or where he gets his monetary benefits from but he has power and he will help.
He helped me when I was at my worst, when I was living with a woman who was cheating on me for sport, when my employer was using my work for his own gain while instantly blaming me for his own shortcomings, he found me and chose me and for that I am eternally grateful.
All he asks is that you pledge your loyalty Cliff, that is all you need to do, pledge your loyalty and join us, you can come live with us, you can help us find new members and I can show you all the greatness that our lives have become.
Or you can continue doing what you are doing, you can continue to trod through life without a goal, without a purpose Cliff, but I think beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are ready for that to end, I think you are ready for the pain to be removed, for the greatness to be restored.
Aren’t you sick of it?
Aren’t you sick of remembering the pain? Of allowing the weakness to control you? You have great gifts, you can have more, you can have so much more.
If you refuse, he will be mad, he will be upset. You can consider this weekend your first real test because last week, we weren’t truly able to get started were we? We weren’t truly able to see what the other had to give.
I want to see all that anger, all that rage and all that passion boil over, and I want you to take it out on me, he wants to see you take it out on me. He wants to see how worthy you are and how much you have to give.
And I will accept it, I will enjoy it, I will know that doing this is for him and after he has helped me to build a community, after he has helped me do so much, accomplish so much it is my turn to give back to him.
And I will bring you to him Cliff, I will bring you to his glory, I will help you see things for what they really are, not for what this mundane existence shows.
And there are two ways to accomplish this, we can battle and you can join me, we can battle and if you are deemed worthy you can come with me to what will be your new home, you can come with me to your new family.
Or I can take you, as I have done many times to those that weren’t ready to see his glory for themselves, for those that needed an extra push to see what was best for them.
But your first test comes this weekend; your first test comes when we face one another.
And after that, the world could be yours as well.
{The screen fades in and out as we see Judas leaving the forest through the tunnel we saw him enter through, he comes to the other side and the light is bright, like he exited some portal where time continues, and doesn’t hang overhead. The screen changes and we are in a city. The camera looks across the road at a young lady to his pedaling her wears to “johns” passing by. She gets into a car and it turns the corner. Judas follows the car}
{He stands across the road from the car, looking at it, watching things unfold when he hears a scream come from within, he sees the man’s hand strike the girl across the face through the window and approaches the vehicle slowly but with purpose. When he gets closer you can see that the man is attempting to tie the girl up, she is struggling but obviously dazed, the man’s face is blurred out, so that is looks like a blurry orange globe.}
{Judas opens the passenger side door, and without pause grabs the man’s head and slams it into the steering wheel, he pulls the man out of the car, he pants around his ankles and drags him by his hair to the middle of the road, uncontrollable sobs come from inside the vehicle}
Judas: This isn’t right, you can’t do that to her, of all people you cannot assault this young woman, you have made a grave error
Man: I don’t know… What…
{Judas lifts the man so he is standing up, blood slowly drips from his nose, the nose obviously busted, he walks to the streets where people pass by, people who would’ve ignored the horrible incident which was about to happen}
Judas: This is what your society rewards? Rapists and those who prey on the weak, those that have no place to go… This is your powerful member of society, driving his Mercedes Benz, and this is what you want to parade off. No, not me people, I don’t accept this.
{He kicks the man in the back of the leg driving him to his knees}
Judas: Pray forgiveness to whatever false idol you visit with your family, pray forgiveness…
Man: I am so, sorry…
{Judas releases the man who falls forward, people are watching this event unfold, and are taking their cell phones from their pockets they are surprised to see that they aren’t working}
Judas: Your technology doesn’t work under his command, you will all do well to understand that, you will all do well to understand that there are powers greater than those you pray too, then those you follow. I am a real prophet.
{Judas falls to his knees and raises his hands to the sky. He wipes his hand on the ground and makes circle with an X through it with the blood from the man’s nose. He stands}
Judas: Scurry away rats, scurry back to your lives…
{People follow this advice as Judas returns to the car. He looks inside and the woman whose face is covered in snot and tears}
Judas: Mary, I have things to show you. You must open your eyes and trust in me, and all will be ok.
{Mary looks up and meets the alluring eyes of Judas, she extends her hand to his as we fade to black}
