Chapter 21
Thomas saw absolutely nothing. At the back of the room he began to make out two red dots were gradually appearing. He was glad his Lord came at that very moment, and he told him so, as the two points slowly approached him.
“It’s time for a change”, his Lord said.
Thomas didn’t understand, and began to sweat profusely. He felt enormous heat.
“I don’t ... understand, my Lord ... What change?”
The emergency lamp lights started flashing again, faulty. Thomas could better see the black shadow with two red dots in front of him. Strangely, it was becoming less dark, as if lightening, and taking the form of what appeared to be a man. Suddenly Thomas found himself in front of him: the shadow had taken his shape, and he began to feel fear. The other Thomas walked up to his side, put his left hand on his neck, and as if he were just a piece of paper he lifted him from the chair, holding him in front of him. Thomas began to c

Darwin Conrad was really angry when he called Darlene to her cell phone. He strongly reproached her for the advance she made on the event at the police station, where she raised the possibility that a clone of Jesus of Nazareth was involved. His bosses at CNN headquarters in Atlanta had called him about the "strange and confusing" report from the headquarters in New York, and were also concerned about the wave of rumors and speculative news were taking place throughout the country, as a result of the report. Darwin wasn’t used to questioning his reporters in front of their bosses, so he promised to investigate and delve deeper into the event and have a concrete answer before the end of the day, reassuring them at least for the moment. Now he had his star reporter on the phone and he was upset not so much by the fact she had said all this on the air, but because she didn’t wait for his order to do so.“Now you’re going to have to justify all what you sa

Joseph’s existence could no longer be hidden. The armed religious group in front of the One Police Plaza had brought to the fore the truth about the events of last few days, where many witnesses to Dr. Hansen’s words spread everything he had said on social media, and practically everyone knew a scientist had managed to clone Jesus of Nazareth, and religious groups and satanic sects had tried to kill the clone child, considering him an abomination or a threat to their existence and raison for being. In many cities of the world, groups of people gathered in public places, such as squares and avenues, and held vigils asking for the life of the child Jesus and for him to be presented to the world as their new Lord and Savior to follow him. Others, very small, continued to affirm Joseph was the product of the devil and considered he shouldn’t exist, because he violated God’s laws. The most cautious kept to the expectation of what might happen, arguing that God&rsq

Mark and Doris were chatting with David and Karen when the door of the safe house opened, giving way for Hansen and Joseph, the latter plunging into his mother’s arms. Karen kissed him repeatedly and asked how they had been with the President.“He’s a good man, but very serious”, Joseph told her. “He doesn’t want David to be with us.”“Why? David asked. “What did he say, doctor?”Hansen sighed disconsolate.“He said even though you were acting in self-defense, and in ours, you should be investigated for the deaths of those people. Like me, because of what I did.”“And what’s the President going to do?” Karen asked.“He’ll have the NYPD look after us until he decides what to do with us. He has a lot of pressure from The Vatican and Israel ...”“Pressure?” Mark interjected. “Why are they pressuring him?”
The Parousia Effect Foreword
New York, at midnight As usual, Thomas Robertson stayed awake beyond midnight, after heading the customary weekly sacrifice. Sitting in front of the window behind his desk, he looked thoughtful, and his face as always was grim. He had been leading to the satanic “Brothers of the Averno” sect for about ten years now, and the number of followers he had "harvested" through all those years already exceeded a thousand, only in New York City. In all those years of activity he had never felt greater concern than to please his “Lord of Darkness” as he said to Satan, seeking with his sacrifices, initiation activities and devotion, to win his favors and complacency. But now a shadow of concern was stopping him from sleep: a scientist had managed to clone Jesus of Nazareth on behalf of "The Second Coming", which meant a direct threat to his group and the loss of his effort throughout the years. Despite being a creation of man, he couldn’t risk that pers

Chapter 1He arrived precipitously to his house in the middle of the torrential downpour that fell at that time of night in London. Mrs. McAlister, the babysitter, came out to meet him smiling as always to tell him that the boy had already fallen asleep, while she began to grab her things to go home. Dr. Hansen gave her barely a glance as he left his wet raincoat on the floor and was rushed to the library there on the second floor. Mrs. McAlister was surprised by his attitude and asked him what was happening.“I don’t have time to explain. Thank you for coming, Mrs. McAlister”, the doctor told her as he walked into the library and began to rummage through the drawers of his desk. “As always, your payment was transferred to your account this morning. I won’t need you for the rest of the week. Now it’s better if you leaves, and the faster the better.”Mrs. McAlister hesitated for a few seconds, still puzzled,

Dr. Julius Hansen told his friend everything he had done to carry out the "assignment", which was to achieve a clone of Jesus of Nazareth. Of course, his first reaction when he was made the proposal was flatly refuse the idea, because human cloning is strictly prohibited, but his scientific curiosity and attraction to the unknown made him change his mind, and he agreed to do so secretly, thinking that he might not achieve his purpose because of the complex of the process and because had never been attempted before. For this, he needed to disguise his actions with those of an ethically possible research related to the topic. He told him that he obtained the support of his laboratory located in Berkeley, California, introducing to the board the beginning of a research related to the duplication or cloning of human organs, with the intention of eliminating those factors that cause somehow they fail or sick, and achieve transplant them to the affected patient, eliminating the damaged on

David awoke shortly before sunup. He had time he didn’t sleep so deeply. He got up and went to the bathroom, where he washed his face and brushed his teeth. A few minutes later he went down to the living room and found John sitting in front of the window with the shotgun resting on his thighs. He signaled him to be silent and invited him to look out the window. David immediately spotted a man standing at the end of the street and around the corner, seemingly waiting for something or someone.“He arrived about twenty minutes ago,” John said. “He hasn’t done anything else.”David looked at John, intrigued.“And why do you think that is suspicious?”“You didn’t finish listening to the conversation last night, son, and you don’t know that my friend and his son are in danger.”“Danger? I only heard something related to an assignment and a DNA. Unless it has something to do wit
