Frailty Page #2

-We'll sneak in.

Teeth all brushed?

You sure about that, Adam?

All right.

Breath test time.

Dad!

I did

-brush them!

-I'm just joking with you, egghead!

Don't worry, Fenton. I know

you're too big for a goodnight kiss.

Sleep tight.

Don't let those bedbugs bite.

That's right.

Love you guys.

-Love you too, Dad.

-Night, Dad.

Night, Curtis.

I wanna see "Meatballs" again.

Fine, you can see "Meatballs"

and I'll see "The Warriors."

But I don't like

to watch movies by myself.

Too bad.

Please?

All right.

Just go to bed.

That was our family.

Just the three of us.

All of Mom and Dad's relatives had

died, so there was no one but us.

We didn't mind though.

We didn't need anybody else.

We were happy

together. Until...

-Fenton, wake up.

-Dad?

-I've got something to tell you.

-What's wrong?

It's okay.

Adam, wake up and listen.

I need you both

to listen to me very carefully.

Something's happened.

He said he'd had

a vision that night.

A vision from God.

An angel came to him

and told him

the truth of this world

and revealed God's

special purpose for our family.

The end of the world

is coming. It's near.

The angel showed me.

There are demons among us.

The devil has released them

for the final battle.

It's being fought right now.

But nobody knows it

except us and others like us.

-I'm scared, Dad.

-There's nothing to be afraid of.

We've been chosen by God. He will

protect us. He's given us special

jobs to do.

We don't fear these demons,

we destroy them.

We pick them up one by one, and

we pitch them out of this world.

That's God's purpose for us.

The angel called us "God's Hands."

So we're like superheroes?

That's right.

We're a family of superheroes

that are gonna help save the world.

But, Dad, that

doesn't make any sense.

I know it sounds that way,

son, but it's the truth.

So what are our superpowers?

Well...

we can see the demons

while other people can't.

The angel told me God would send us

Magical weapons?

I imagine so.

When do we get them?

I don't know.

The angel just said soon.

That's all I was told, except

we're not supposed to tell anybody.

Absolutely no one.

If we do, we put them

and ourselves in danger.

Fenton?

Don't worry, it's okay.

It's a lot to understand.

I waited to tell you until I had

a chance to figure it out myself.

But the angel said

I had to do it now.

Fenton?

I didn't know

what to say or how to feel.

Do you understand what I told you?

Judgment Day is here.

It was too messed up

to understand or even acknowledge.

Soon we'll all be in Heaven.

You, me, Adam. With Mommy.

I didn't realize it at the moment,

at least not consciously...

She's waiting
