In the Arena of Spectacles

A huge and boisterous crowd of the wicked were crowding a large, indoor arena. In the center of the arena, on a raised dais or stage, was erected a huge "X", formed from wooden railroad ties.

Firmly tied to it was an aged Latter-Day Saint, his arms bound to the upper parts of the "X" and his legs bound to the lower parts of it.

Several men were on this stage, one of whom held a big chain-saw. As he revved up the chain-saw he held, he shouted "What should we cut off first!" One woman screamed "Go for the groin!" But most of the blood-thirsty crowd screamed "His left hand!" And so it was done.

Bit by bloody bit the man was dismembered for the howling mob. He was not the first to die in this manner. It was manifested that the victims of these cruel murders were those who had not prepared and had not listened to the warnings to leave.

After this sickening sight, a man dressed in ordinary clothes slipped in through one of the entrances to the arena. With a demeanor marked by righteous anger, he put his arm to the square, and by the power of the Holy Priesthood called down great, blazing bolts of lightning, incinerating the spectators where they sat, and consuming the stage and everyone on it.

The man then left the arena, leaving behind nothing but charred bodies and the stench of burning flesh.
