Sister Elizabeth sat quietly by the fire reading a book of poetry—the collected works of E.E. Cummings. She was alone, and the room was dark save the light from the old stone fireplace and that of an oil lamp on the table by her side. She wore a long frilly dress, of a sort that was five centuries out of style, dating from the time when she walked the green Earth. She pushed her long brown hair aside and turned the page.

Beyond the open window, the crickets chirped in the darkness, as they usually did on a summer’s evening. By her soft comfy chair, seven additional books were arranged in two neat stacks, those that she had read, and those she soon would.

It was late, but she wasn’t tired. After five centuries in Heaven, she had nearly evolved beyond the need for sleep or even food—both of which she partook of only once or twice a week.

Her mansion was not a large one, at least not by heavenly standards. She had a kitchen, this modest study which held all of her books, and a small bedroom, which she rarely used. The house, constructed from local stones, stood in a one-acre-wide clearing in the vast green forest, a truly isolated venue. She liked it that way. It gave her time to reflect, to appreciate the goodness of God. She would have been totally lost in a large mansion.

She received few visitors here. Her encounters with others occurred most often on her biweekly trips to the City of Zion. There, she would commune with the Father and afterward visit one of the city’s many libraries.

Interestingly, her last visitor had passed by this way only two weeks ago—a very special visitor. It had been her Savior—Jesus Himself. Indeed, since her arrival here, He had dropped in to see her frequently. They had even taken walks through the forest together. They discussed matters of the spirit, philosophy, even poetry. How she loved His visits. However, during His last visit, He had spoken of spiritual strength and courage. He had reminded her that He was with her always, even in times of danger. He also spoke of the power she possessed through the Holy Spirit. How strange, what sort of danger was to be found here? He told her to show no fear in the face of that danger, though He declined to tell her what that danger might be.

On Earth she had lived the cloistered existence of a nun. It was a lifestyle ideally suited for her personality. In very fact, she even had two long black habits in her wardrobe, though she seldom wore them anymore. No, she preferred to dress comfortably.

It was nearly midnight when she laid the book down and looked out the window into the night full of fireflies. Everything looked normal, but it wasn’t. Something was wrong, very wrong. For one thing, the crickets had gone silent, and there was something else, a darkness that went beyond the darkness of the night.
