Without a Mark

A world dictator emerges as millions disappear from the earth. Economic fraud is extinguished and identity theft eliminated with the taking of a mark. Global catastrophes become the norm as earthquakes, hail, and oceanic pollution brings death. The nuclear option becomes common as famine and war eliminate the food source. In a small midwestern city, unmarked believers seek to survive the next seven years. Their existence becomes entangled with the new world order while they long for their promised Messiah. The chance of survival is slim but their faith is not misplaced. One thing they all have in common - they all try to survive without a mark.
