Around the world, there are no reports of anyone disappearing or suddenly ascending while plenty of the devout and desperate commit suicide by the thousands.

    I interpreted it as, “the worthy are being driven to madness and suicide”. Like, Lovecraft-type shit.

    Your story tho.

    Edit: alternatively, the ones who are worthy are the ones committing suicide with the belief they’ll be raptured. So you’re left with the dilemma: if I stay alive, will I miss the rapture; and if I don’t, will I go to heaven? The ambiguity and uncertainty makes it terrifying.
