The notification sound from OrthoBro1054's phone made him look up from his Tuesday evening stream prep. Another anonymous email, same address that had sent him the morgue footage two days ago. His heart rate spiked as he opened it.

Subject: The Interview - Full Video

OrthoBro1054 - You said you wanted the whole story. Here it is. This was recorded yesterday at the Foster residence. The world needs to see this. -A Friend

He stared at the link to a video file. His hands were actually shaking as clicked on the link and watched a 2.3GB video file download onto his hard drive.. Whatever this was, it was big, over two hours of footage.

"Guys, change of plans for tonight's stream," he said into his microphone, addressing the twelve people already in chat waiting for his usual Tuesday Bible study. "I just received something... extraordinary. Give me five minutes to review this, then we're going live with what might be the most important video I've ever shown."

TruthSeeker99: What is it bro?

OrthodoxWarrior: More Foster stuff?

SkepticalSarah: This better not be another hoax

He uploaded the video file to his streaming software and scrubbed through it quickly. Detective badges. Medical examiner. Professional setup. And there was John Foster himself, sitting calmly in what looked like his own home, describing his death and resurrection in clinical detail.

His mouth went dry. This wasn't some grainy phone footage or secondhand account. This was an official police interview with the man who claimed to have returned from the dead.

"Okay chat, we're going live now. What I'm about to show you... I don't even know where to begin. This appears to be the complete police interview with John Foster. Yes, that John Foster. And before anyone asks—I have no idea who's sending me these files or how they're getting them."

He hit the "Go Live" button and watched his viewer count jump from 12 to 87 within seconds. Word was spreading fast.

"For those just joining, I'm about to play what appears to be the full police interview with John Foster, the Dallas man who was allegedly murdered on Friday and returned from the dead on Monday. I want everyone to watch this with me and we'll discuss it together. Chat rules are in effect—no spam, no all caps, keep it respectful."

He started the video. The professional camera work immediately stood out. Clear audio, sharp video, proper lighting. Either this was the most elaborate fake ever produced, or someone with serious resources had recorded this.

As Detective Gonzales began his questioning, his chat exploded:

PrayerWarrior23: This looks real

ModernPharisee: Audio quality is too good for a hoax

DoubtingThomas777: Professional setup. Who filmed this?

FaithfulMary: My hands are shaking

When John Foster began describing his death—the clinical, matter-of-fact way he talked about feeling his neck break—OrthoBro1054 had to pause.

"Guys, I need to stop for a second. The way he's describing his own murder... either this man is the greatest actor who ever lived, or we're witnessing something unprecedented."

TruthSeeker99: His voice doesn't waver at all

SkepticalSarah: Body language seems genuine

OrthodoxWarrior: This is giving me chills

He resumed playback. When Foster described the mountain, the forest, meeting his father and grandfather, the chat went into overdrive:

VisionaryVince: The detail he's giving...

PilgrimsPride: This matches biblical accounts of heavenly visions

RationalRick: Still could be elaborate delusion

FaithfulMary: Listen to his voice when he talks about Christ

But it was Foster's description of the clearing at the mountaintop that stopped OrthoBro1054 cold. Jesus Christ, Mary, countless saints, and an angel with wings spanning the entire clearing. The reverence in his voice was palpable.

"Chat, I'm Eastern Orthodox. I've heard thousands of homilies, read countless accounts of mystical experiences. The way this man describes the divine presence... there's something here that rings true on a spiritual level."

OrthodoxBrother: Agreed. This doesn't sound fabricated

TruthSeeker99: His theology is sound

ModernPharisee: But the claims are extraordinary

PrayerWarrior23: Extraordinary times require extraordinary grace

When Foster mentioned being tested by the Adversary but refused to elaborate, saying he was "still troubled by them," the chat reaction was immediate:

VisionaryVince: Classic demonic testing pattern

DoubtingThomas777: Convenient that he won't describe the tests

FaithfulMary: Would you want to relive encounters with Satan?

RationalRick: Or perfect excuse to avoid details

The medical examination portion had OrthoBro1054 riveted. Dr. Nguyen's visible confusion as she examined injuries that should have been fatal was compelling.

"Look at her face, chat. This is a medical professional whose worldview is being shattered in real time. You can't fake that kind of genuine bewilderment."

SkepticalSarah: She seems genuinely shocked

TruthSeeker99: Medical evidence is hard to dispute

OrthodoxWarrior: Broken hyoid bone should make speech impossible

ModernPharisee: Yet here he is talking normally

His viewer count had climbed to over 400 and was still rising. Someone was sharing this stream, and word was spreading across Orthodox social media.

Foster's description of his supernatural gifts—speaking languages of Christendom, healing through prayer, passing unseen by the evil-hearted—generated intense discussion:

PrayerWarrior23: This is totally unprecedented

VisionaryVince: Apostolic powers returning?

RationalRick: Convenient claims that can't be easily tested

FaithfulMary: The language gift could be tested!

DoubtingThomas777: If this is real, why him? Why now?

But it was Foster's final request—to release his killers—that truly stunned both OrthoBro1054 and his chat into temporary silence.

"I... wow. The man forgives his own murderers. Not just forgives them, but actively requests their release. This is Christ-like forgiveness on a level I've never seen."

TruthSeeker99: Truly Christian response

SkepticalSarah: Almost too perfect

OrthodoxWarrior: This is radical Christian love

ModernPharisee: Either genuine holiness or calculated performance

FaithfulMary: I'm crying. This is beautiful

PrayerWarrior23: This is how Christians should respond to persecution

As the interview concluded, OrthoBro1054 sat in stunned silence for a moment, watching the chat scroll by at incredible speed. His viewer count had hit 847.

"Chat, I don't know what to say. I've just watched either the most elaborate hoax in human history, or documented evidence of a miraculous resurrection. The medical evidence, the detailed theological descriptions, the emotional authenticity... I'm finding it very hard to dismiss this as fiction."

VisionaryVince: This changes everything if it's real

DoubtingThomas777: Big if

*TruthSeeker99: What happens next?*

RationalRick: Needs independent verification

OrthodoxBrother: The Church needs to investigate

FaithfulMary: I believe. Something about this rings true

SkepticalSarah: I'm more convinced than I want to admit

ModernPharisee: We're living in biblical times

"I want everyone to share this responsibly," he said as notifications continued flooding his phone. "Don't claim certainty about something we can't prove. But also don't dismiss it out of hand because it challenges our assumptions about what's possible."

PrayerWarrior23: This video needs to go everywhere

TruthSeeker99: Already sharing

OrthodoxWarrior: Orthodox forums are going crazy right now

VisionaryVince: This will be global news by tomorrow

OrthoBro1054 could see his subscriber count climbing in real-time. In two hours, his small Orthodox YouTube channel had gained over 300 new subscribers, and the numbers were accelerating.

"We're going to end here tonight, but I want everyone to pray about what we've seen. Pray for wisdom, pray for discernment, and pray for John Foster and his family. Whether this is genuine divine intervention or an elaborate deception, they're about to face scrutiny unlike anything they've ever experienced."

As he signed off, his phone was buzzing with notifications from Orthodox forums, Discord servers, and social media platforms. Screenshots from his stream were already circulating on Twitter with hashtags like #JohnFoster, #Resurrection, and #DallasMiracle.

OrthoBro1054 stared at his reflection in his now-dark monitor. If this video was authentic, he had just become one of the first people to share documented evidence of a modern resurrection with the world.

And there was no going back.
