Heaven and Hell Promo #3
Jeffery
“Now Jeffery you know that I'd never leave you. Not as
long as God has my heart.” My mood began to darken. Why did she
have to bring God in every single meaningful conversation we had? Did
she love him or me? I scoffed and because of that, her mood began to
darken as well. Though she didn't show it. She never showed one ounce
of emotion if she could help it.
“I'm sorry Elaine it's just that I don't understand
what's so good about this God. Have you ever seen him? Has he ever
talked to you?” She looked at me in a way that said that she had
just about given up.
“You really are blind. I don't what he's going to do
about you.” My confusion started to flare. My anger at the unknown
started to over power my my senses, and everything started to go
black. I couldn't see. All I felt was darkness, and all I heard were
the sounds of hushed whispers going into my ear. I tried to move, but
I couldn't. The whispers kept getting louder and louder, and after a
while I couldn't take it anymore. I screamed and screamed as loud as
I could, but it changed nothing. I sat for that darkness for what
seemed like an eternity.
When I came to, the whole house was a mess. There was
crying coming from the back room. I started to look for it. My head.
My head was hurting, and I wanted everything to stop for that moment.
Or at least until I was able to get myself together.
“Stop all that yellin'! I yelled to no one in
particular. I was probably just yelling it to yell it. For some
reason I was really messed up. I kept looking. Searching for the
source of that unbearable sound. For the light in the darkness, and
there it was sitting in a closet next to my bedroom. There they were
sitting in the closet bruised, and bloodied. Probably no longer able
to stand. My son was sitting in my wife's arms shaking badly, while
my wife looked at me with a lucid fear in her eyes.
“What did I do this time Elaine? What did I do!?"
