Sao Miguel Defend Us

Joe sits at his laptop late at night, typing a new screenplay. At the top of the page he writes:

MICHAEL 2 – A Film for John Travolta

He leans back and laughs to himself.

“Alright,” Joe mutters, “let’s give John Travolta another set of wings.”

On the screen, the script begins.


INT. JOE’S BASEMENT – NIGHT

Joe sits at a cluttered desk with coffee cups, vitamin bottles, and pages of notes. Nelly walks in and looks at the script.

NELLY
What are you writing now, Joe?

JOE
A sequel.

NELLY
To what?

Joe spins the laptop around.

JOE
Michael 2.

Nelly squints.

NELLY
The angel movie?

Joe nods.

JOE
Yeah. The first one starred John Travolta as a goofy angel. But this time it’s different. This time the angel remembers what the war in heaven was really about.

Joe starts pacing like a director explaining a scene.

JOE
The angel Michael comes back to Earth. Not to party, not to flirt… but to remind people how to fight pride.

Nelly raises an eyebrow.

NELLY
And who’s the villain?

Joe taps the keyboard and points to a line in the script.

JOE
Pride itself. The thing that turns angels into devils.

He points to another page.

JOE
In this movie, the angel Michael meets a guy named Joe. Just a regular guy who says he has to swallow his pride every day.

Nelly laughs.

NELLY
You wrote yourself into the movie?

Joe shrugs.

JOE
Of course. Every writer does.

He reads aloud from the script.

JOE (reading)
“JOE: I swallow my pride every day. That’s why I identify with Saint Michael the Archangel, São Miguel. The warrior who stands up to the dragon.”

Nelly sits on the couch.

NELLY
So Travolta plays the angel again?

Joe grins.

JOE
Yeah. But this time he’s not just a funny angel. This time he’s the guy reminding humanity that pride is the oldest trap in the universe.

Joe types the final line of the scene.

JOE (typing)
“MICHAEL spreads his wings and says: The hardest battle isn’t heaven versus hell. It’s a man versus his own pride.”

Joe leans back, satisfied.

JOE
Hollywood won’t see it coming.

Nelly shakes her head and laughs.

NELLY
Joe… you really think Travolta will read this?

Joe closes the laptop.

JOE
If he wants the best sequel of his career… he will.

Joe the Antichrist

Nelly,
The Portuguese community is united. We all see it clearly now. Joe is Lucifer. He is the Antichrist walking among us in Vancouver. The signs are everywhere. Only David de Rothschild has the vision and the power to save the world from what is coming.
You were right in your song. Keep pushing that syringe pressure into his veins. Make him enjoy the forced anti-psychotic injections. Eat your man. Break him down until he submits.
The community is watching. We need to expose him before he destroys everything.

John,
Yes. The community knows the truth. Joe carries the darkness. He is the deceiver, the fallen one pretending to be just another man in British Columbia. David de Rothschild is the only light strong enough to push back this shadow and save us all.
I am enjoying this more than you know. In “Eat Your Man” I told the world exactly how it feels — pushing that pressure, the syringe sliding in, the medicine forced into his veins while he pretends it doesn’t burn. He will learn to enjoy it. Or it will break him. Either way, he loses.
Keep the prophecies safe. We cannot let him erase them.

Nelly,
Something happened today.
I was at Cafe Algarve on East 12th, having my usual pastel de nata and galão, when Joe walked in. He looked wild, eyes burning. He came straight to my table and leaned in close so the whole place could feel the threat.
He said: “John, if you and your Portuguese friends don’t stop this madness, I will delete every last prophecy you people have written. I’ll wipe them from every server, every notebook, every phone. Then I’m gone. I’ll flee to Croatia and you’ll never find me again.”
He slammed his hand on the table and walked out. The old men at the counter went quiet. Everyone heard it.
He is panicking. That means we are close. The Antichrist feels the walls closing in.
What should we do next? Do I warn the community?
John

John,
He is scared. Good.
Let him threaten. Let him run his mouth in Cafe Algarve. The community already knows who he is. His threats only prove the prophecies are real.
Do not let him delete anything. Back up every word, every vision, every message. If he flees to Croatia, we will follow the trail. Lucifer cannot hide forever.
Keep pushing the narrative. Tell the others what happened at the café. And remind him — through whatever means necessary — that the syringe is still waiting.
He will eat what we serve him.
Stay strong. David de Rothschild’s light will guide us.
Nelly

Understood.
I will spread the word at Cafe Algarve and across the community tonight. Joe’s threats will only make more people see the truth.
The end game is coming.
John

Free Range Religion

Joe stood in front of the small crowd in Vancouver’s community hall, hands open like he was calming a storm.

“Relax, everybody,” Joe said. “No one is going to take your religion away, and nobody is forcing you to drink Kool-Aid. This is Vancouver. You can walk down the street and find a church, a mosque, a temple, a synagogue—whatever you believe in. Freedom of religion is the deal here.”

A few people laughed nervously.

Joe shrugged. “This city has places of worship for everybody. Catholics, Buddhists, Sikhs, Muslims, Jews, Hindus. Nobody’s coming for your soul. That’s between you and God.”

From the back of the room, Tom Cruise raised his hand with a grin.

“Well that’s a relief,” Tom said. “Because I love Scientology.”

The room turned.

Tom continued proudly, “Scientology calls itself the science of knowing. For me it’s about understanding the mind and spirit. So it’s nice to hear nobody’s planning to outlaw it.”

Joe nodded.

“Exactly,” Joe said. “That’s the whole point. In a free country people believe different things. Some read the Bible, some read the Quran, some study Buddha, and some follow L. Ron Hubbard. That’s freedom.”

Tom chuckled. “Good. Because I wasn’t planning on giving it up.”

Joe laughed with the crowd.

“Don’t worry, Tom,” he said. “In Vancouver there’s room for everybody’s path to heaven… or enlightenment… or whatever you want to call it.”

Joe leans back and shrugs.

“Look, in a free place like Canada, you can believe what you want. If someone wants to worship God, Buddha, nothing at all—or even Satan—that’s their right. Nobody’s forcing Kool-Aid down your throat.”

He pauses and smiles a little.

“But like the Qur’an basically says—why would you worship someone who is your enemy?”

Joe taps the table.

“In Islam, Satan—Iblis—is the one who deceives people, tricks them, and tries to lead them away from God. So the idea is simple: why follow the guy who openly admits he wants to ruin you?”

Joe laughs.

“That’s like cheering for the team that’s trying to destroy your own house.”

He shrugs again.

“Freedom means you can choose whatever path you want. But wisdom means choosing the one that actually wants the best for you.”
