“So let me ask you this….is this what God intended for my life?”
His eyes crossed with confusion and alarm. Gene therapy be damned if he did shit himself over my mention of the man upstairs.
“What do you mean God?”
“I mean like Genesis you know…in the beginning….let there be light…..did God want me to be an “Angel of death, no….an Angel of destruction….did he say to all of you who have so shaped my life…did he say; Hey there Shane I’m gonna make you a deal you kill these people for these people and everything will be cool, or am I being rewarded by…..”
“You believe in God Shane?”
“Doesn’t everyone?”
“No.”
“Do you?”
“I…..I never really thought about it……..”
The shots rang out clanging against the walls. Little puffs of dirt get into my eyes. I was running low on ammo; my wound was going to be interesting. The man was the new President of this breakaway Republic. He was begging for his life and I took out everyone Pavel instructed me to but didn’t plan for more. I waited for the word to chime in and it did. And that left me with the dubious honor bestowed upon me by mankind. Was I in control of my actions….did I care enough to just end it all? Is it why I attacked death?
The man spit blood into my face. Flecks of spit and blood I should say. I had a few seconds to look in and see the fear of meeting his maker. The shots got closer and the window for my escape got narrower and narrower. I squeezed the trigger and could have sworn the light went out. I jumped out the window and hit the water so hard that I swallowed water. I calm myself and break the surface just as the light passed.
This old song breaks my deathtrap death thoughts. It adds nothing of comfort to me and asks an interesting question.
“If you feel alive if you got no fear do you know the name
of the one you seek? If you want the answer, if you want the truth, look inside your empty soul there you’ll find the noose”
When I sleep at night the dream is the same. The sky is filled with millions of white flames like a pinhead of light against this deep blue of black. Yet in the highest point, a point so high that it makes you spin in nervous anticipation…it sits or maybe stands. It’s a crack in the universe and the bright light of heaven shows through in the form of a cross.
Tbc…..

Glad you’re back, have read everything you’ve ever written and luved every bit of it. No one writes like u my friend, no one!!! Welcome back to the fold.
So happy to see that you are back. I look forward to reading the next chapter. One question: You started a sequel to Pyromance, but it is no longer available here; any chance that you will repost it?
with you and with ashtuck back writing, the world feels right again. isn’t that ironic, given the ocasionally dystopic nature of your, her and my own writings (given that i’m the one making some random judgement about the world being right again). huh. well, i’m thrilled. beyond thrilled. i’m going to re-read this later newdawn, but just so you know, i nominated you for the no-longer existent awards as one of my top choices for one who shoulda snagged one. happy to see you back:)
It’s so exciting to see something new from you, and it was fantastic as always. You’re one of my favorite writers and one of the only reasons I come in daily, hoping to catch an update. Thanx for posting NDF….can’t wait to see where you take us next.
Wow, great to see you’re writing again, not only because your writing style is ONE of a kind, but also because of the musical references :P (“How the Gods Kill” very appropriate, Danzig kicks ass!). That’s awesome. But regarding your author’s note (“I was convinced that um…well that you all would really dislike that one. It made this choice to finish this one really easy for me”): uh-oh. . . should we be worried?
