Post-Apocalyptic Fiction by Jerry D. Young
Ware Ye
An insurance salesman on budget becomes concerned about world events and decides to do what he can to prepare for disaster.
EXCERPT
"Ware ye! Ware ye, I say! Ware ye! The end time is nigh! Confess! Repent! Ware ye! Ware ye!
"The guy is a nut," laughed Mike, the best bowler on the team. "Ware ye, my rear end."
Larry Winkle didn't join in the laughter with the rest of his bowling team as they walked past the old, white haired man in his dirty, torn jeans, sweatshirt and cardboard sign that said the same thing he was voicing.
"I don't know how he lives," said Claude, who happened to be the worst bowler on their team, but still pretty good. "He's been walking the streets with that sign for a month now."
The fourth member of the team, Marshal, added his two cents to the conversation. "I wish the cops would pick him up. He's a nuisance and an eyesore. He was spouting that stuff down by the insurance office the other day. My clients were complaining."
When Larry failed to speak up, Mike asked him, "What about you, Larry? What do you think?"
Larry shrugged and said, "Who knows? Maybe he's right." He laughed a little when the others laughed at him. Larry was beginning to have thoughts along the same lines as the man was pointing out. He'd been a closet prepper for a while now. The old man was giving him the willies. All you had to do was listen to the news, and maybe read between the lines a little, and you could easily believe the man. Not that he felt a need to confess or repent. Larry did feel the need to increase his preparations. Before Katrina he'd always assumed FEMA would be there to make things right. Katrina changed his mind. Rita, too. And the news... Everybody and their brother and their sister seemed to have nuclear weapons. A bunch of those that did or were trying to acquire them had a real hatred of the United States.
