8. A thru Zach
When Zach was a little boy, he dreamed
about The Lady. She was very pretty and
very nice at first. Then she said she wanted
to kill him. Well not kill, but to a ten year
old boy the word “dead” meant kill and he
didn’t want any part of that.
Zach is now thirty five, single and still a
virgin. Not by his own choosing, The Lady
had seen to that by appearing and
disappearing when ever Zach had tried to
score.
“You must remain pure”, were always
her words to him and he would go limp
from fear.
The Lady never made a move to hurt
him yet Zach held on to his fear. He was
sure that sooner or later she would kill him.
Zach had always know that only he could
see The Lady so he knew that she was
8

9. somehow only in his mind yet countless
hours of therapy had not changed his mind
about his fate.
At a demolition site, Andy the site boss
and company owner spots a woman
walking out of the rubble of a building that
he and his team have just brought down.
No one could have survived such a blast
and no one should be walking through it
now. Yet there she was. She places her
hand on Andy’s chest and he drops to his
knees, only to find out later that a heart
condition he had has mysteriously been
healed. Slowly, one by one strange
miracles are happening all over the world.
Until one day, when Zach hears about a
mysterious woman who is going around the
world performing miracles of all shapes
and sizes. Zach feels rather than knows that
the woman is The Lady. But if it is his
Lady why is she performing all these
miracles and trying to kill him? Then while
watching television, a man being
interviewed about an accident gives Zach a
chilling warning. The Lady is coming for
him. She is going through the alphabet,
9

10. letter by letter and Zach will see her once
she reaches Z. He knows now that he will
die. But Why? Why was The Lady out to
kill him? Why did she prevent him from
having sex all these years and cause him to
‘remain pure’? How could Zach reason
with her and stop this tragic ending?
