Last SupperA Story by Ernest YungsiIt takes an insane person to bring an entire city out of it’s madness.The week before Easter, on Wednesday night, Moses received a message which said, IT ENDS TOMORROW NIGHT! The words arrived in a dream with Moses eating a piece of fish, and a small group of schoolboys making fun of him.
