Gethsemane 11:45 a.m. Roman Standard Time
I am standing here at Gethsemane Gardens, where Jesus has been awaiting word on his appeal.
It is a lonely place today as Jesus’ friends and supporters have made themselves scarce. Notably absent is new campaign manager Simon Peter, also known as “Rocky,” who has thrice denied allegations that he knew of any illicit activities on Jesus’ part.
Should the charges stand, Jesus will face a virtual execution by the press. Some rioting is expected, but the Roman guards are confident that they can keep any angry mobs from forming.
Here on the street, people are falling asleep on their feet, seemingly incapable of staying awake, despite the high stakes in the case.
There has been no official statement from Jesus, but there have been reports that he was dismayed with his followers’ inability to keep vigil with him. What a lonely state he must be in tonight.
A source inside the Sanhedrin has told us that former campaign manager Judas Iscariot left town quickly, but not quite quietly, after an altercation at Malachai’s campaign headquarters. This gives credence to earlier allegations that Judas was working with the opposition. Allegations of bribe taking are still under investigation at this time.
Meanwhile, Barabbas has moved up in the polls. His recent acquittal and release have had a tremendous effect on his popularity. However, his lack of experience and abysmal public speaking skills continue to be obstacles.
As we draw nearer to election day, we expect at least one of the candidates to emerge as a clear leader, but the numbers have gone up and down so much that right now it’s anyone’s guess. One thing seems painfully clear at this point: Jesus is out.
