Two Sentence Horrors.

The title should be the first sentence, while the body should be the second.

Keep it spooky.

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.
