Story Description Follows
Brief Video Description
The story you are about to read (including, as the story progresses, many actual photographs) is a very long story and takes place on this planet—Earth, and elsewhere, but not elsewhere unrealistically. The real (true) Ark of the Covenant is involved—rather horrifically, as is Osama bin Laden—believe it or not.
A Brief Outline (Synopsis) of the Story:
The complete and unabridged novel Folk in the Fire begins with the first written letters on the first page and ends with the last written letters—on the very last page of the novel, depending on options available. What might appear to be legal or technical or contractual or a copyright notice or related information is indeed that, but is also part of (and just as relevant) the entire novel itself.
The novel (very exciting—extremely exciting—though of a somewhat slow beginning (have patience for the treat), every letter of it extremely necessary, frequently based on actual lives and events, and deaths) involves someone (a family deserter, a con man, a thief, a liar, a bigamist, a nomadic, a naive airhead, ad infinitum) suddenly of a deep conviction and a deeply curious interest pertaining to the inside embellishments of a King James Bible, studies it intensively, learns its mysterious and supernormal prophetic language, reveals some of the cryptic messages (actual illuminations), unveils many Scriptural mysteries (genuine perceptions), unravels scores of the prophecies—the Second Coming, Tribulations, mark of the beast, antichrist 666, Armageddon, and the doomsday prophecies (real ones)—and, just as inexplicably, begins an extremely intimate relationship with people throughout the USA and in several countries (along with some very otherworldly and extra-different types of persons), travels that also include actual events, and in the Middle East.
The character and the main Character live through catastrophic worldwide events leading up to the “inevitable” End of the World—and witness through a translucently percolating veil of wispy fog a very graphically presented Last Judgment of all things and of all people notwithstanding who they are or were, both of the living and of the dead, whether flesh or bone or hair or dust, and every spirited soul...and of the very dead.
The antichrist (666: worst of the three)—also an active player in the novel and possibly found among the unimportant participants of the Judged and the damned—unveiled, startlingly and arguably, plays a somewhat elusive role and could not care less about people or other “concerned” individuals' dogmatic assertion of unproved or non-provable debates concerning himself—terrorist that he is.
. . . . . . . . .
Two rather unconventional paragraphs (though the story is not written in a Steven-King-horror format) live near the beginning of the novel and are quite important and quite necessary to regard—seriously for some—actually a warning, though no filthy or off-color words were used throughout the literary work itself:
FREQUENTLY, brief segments of this novel, because of the employment of certain forces unfamiliar to the majority of story lovers (story lovers of all ages) will seem horror-ridden and repulsive to the weak of heart, mind, or both, and to those who suffer from various superstitions or vivid imaginations pertaining to the dominion of death; and, for starters, death is indeed a dominion—a very evil dominion, though escapable—in real time.
Nevertheless, as one compassionate and enduring writer of long ago once wrote: “An optimistic reader of a novel, with but vague knowledge of its contents must, to proceed confidently to its conclusion, possess the courage of a starving lion. Contrarily, if a reader of opposing character cannot handle an intensity in a body of text found within a novel, the reader must remove him or herself promptly from the manuscript. Mentally and physically, abandonment is traditionally the safer alternative...but not always the wisest.”

IMPORTANT:
“If you left off somewhere within the body of a chapter, when you again arrive to it, scroll down to where you left off and continue your reading; or, do a WORD FIND for a special word or a multi-word phrase you had set to memory, whether by mind or by pen, during your last visit. Find the phrase, and continue reading from there.”
