Satan is My Motor
"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
- Book of Revelation, 13:18
I recently went online to verify whether my registration for the Lakefront Marathon had been accepted. It has, and I've been given a number. The number. The number of a man. The number of the beast.
This can't be good. I was really just hoping to finish the thing, but now . . . . I'm marked. I could get struck down by a church steeple or beheaded by a plate of glass. Or maybe all the other runners will surround me, brandishing holy water, shouting, "The power of Christ compels you!"
