    Loomis told his professor everything, starting with a deep breath.

    “My mother, she was this horse trainer,” he began. “But everything she did with the horses had this Christian spin on it. It was ride a horse while reading a Bible, teach a horse to read the Bible…”

    “Teach a horse to read?” asked the professor.

    “The Bible. She felt the only book that horses should be allowed to read is the Bible.”

    “So what would this have to do with a video game you’re developing?”

    “It’s the game. It’s called Bible Horse. It’s about a horse that you need to control to spread the gospel to children.”

    “Can the horse at least kill some Martians?”

    “Yeah, he kills Martians. Kills them with the Bible.”

    “You know, this sounds like a good game.”

    Bible Horse went on to become one of the best-selling games of all time. A video game about a horse that uses the Bible to kill Martians.

    Laura would live for about fifteen more years after the game’s release. She would pass shortly after the fourth in the Bible Horse series’ release, Bible Horse IV: No Life on Mars?

    Her last words: “I told you all my son was scary.”
