The Rapture first occurred on a Monday. On Tuesday, people noticed all the Jews—reform, conservative, and orthodox alike—had vanished.
The Rapture re-occurred on a Tuesday. Wednesday, all the world’s Muslims had disappeared.
The Rapture occurred a third time on a Wednesday. By Thursday no one could locate the freethinkers and atheists.
The Rapture occurred again on Thursday. By Friday, not a single dog remained on Earth.
On Friday, the Rapture took all the non-human primates. Saturday the dolphins were nowhere to be found.
Sunday, the faithful fearfully gathered in their places of worship. A massive solar flare took eight minutes to reach the earth. No one was saved.
The aliens knew the earth would be uninhabitable for several centuries. It would take that long to find a new home for those they had collected. They remained confident, however, that they had preserved the only other intelligent beings in the universe. Was it worth the effort? Only time would tell, and it wasn’t talking.
