Arkansas Woman Killed in Mistaken Rapture
by Elroy Willis

ARKANSAS CITY (EAP) -- A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday
after leaping through her moving car's sunroof during an incident best
described as a "mistaken rapture" by dozens of eye-witnesses.
Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile-up
resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman, who was apparently convinced the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she believed was Jesus. "She started screaming `He's back! He's back!' and climbed out through the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene. "I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped," Williams said. She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was
gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say. "This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force," said Paul Aadison, first officer on the scene Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was on his way to a toga costume party, when the tarp covering the bed of his pickup truck came loose and released twelve blow-up sex dolls filled with helium, which then floated up into the sky. Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration and said "Come back," just as the Williams' car passed him, and Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into heaven as
they drove by him. "I think my wife loved Jesus more than she loved
me," the widower said when asked why his wife would do such a thing. When asked for comments about the twelve sex dolls, Jenkins replied, "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like this to happen."

And who ever said "God" doesn't have a sense of humor... to "lift" that tarp off of the truck....

He's the one with the 1996 Toyota Tundra with the blow-dolls in the back.

Probably either the pavement or the bumper of a car.

The Truth
These events never took place. This fictional story was written by Elroy Willis who has a web page he calls "Religion in the News" at http://web2.airmail.net/~elo/news. He told TruthOrFiction.com that he wrote it as a satire and people started passing it around. The sheriff's office for the small town of Arkansas City, Arkansas as well as police in Arkansas City, Kansas have been getting calls from people who ask about the story.
