The Day of Doom
Today was A-Level results day, but that was the least of Nigel's problems. The inevitable exposure of a year's idleness and truancy was as nothing to the fact that his employer had discovered his tricks with the petty cash, and would call in the police that morning. Potentially even worse was Gemma's arrest for possession of cocaine. She was bound to name her dealer.
Nigel felt utter despair.
Fortunately, however, this Thursday was the day on which the Almighty decided to wreak his judgement on humanity. Because Nigel's parents had in his infancy wisely arranged to have him baptised according to the rites of the Peculiar Elect (a sect most pleasing to the eyes of the Lord) he was immediately admitted to bliss everlasting, while his teachers, his employer and most of the local police were condemned without appeal to fire and excruciating torment. He tried not to feel smug.
