Fun fact: In some Greek versions of the Book of Revelation, 616 -- today's month and day -- is the number of the beast.

I have no idea what that has to do with In the End or Mondays, but I thought I'd share this with y'all anyway.

Anyway, here's an excerpt from this week's chapter:

“I can assure you that nothing 'bigger' is happening,” Cina said. “Your imagination is just running wild.”

 

“No, I'm pretty sure it's not,” Ruby said. “I know what your plan is, but I don't know the end game. What's your goal? Why manipulate me? You guys must have something in mind. Otherwise, it's all for nothing, isn't it?”

 

Cina didn't respond to that, prompting Ruby to continue. “I mean, if your sole goal here was to arrest Masqouth and free the prisoners, then you could have sent an elite team of your best agents out here to do that. Instead, you manipulated a Glatorian who doesn't know a thing about Wyoko into doing it for you. Why? What do you guys have to gain from all of this?”

 

“All right,” said Cina, throwing up her hands in exasperation. “You're right. Our great, daring escape was not nearly as dangerous as I led you to believe. It was all part of a plan that the Will came up with. You have indeed been manipulated the entire time.”
