Possessed...

[Julia Lilith Potter]

Buildings seem to touch the clouds that gather around the moon, trying to hide it from insolent people…
They’re all so modern, while the sky refreshes the atmosphere with its antique look… the stars light up edges of an unknown universe…
Everything’s too dynamic in the old city of Renfrew… 4 pm looks like a rush hour to its people…
…Leaves rustling under the wind’s gentle blow… Flowers bending their heads, sleeping in perfume…
Urge of denied beauty… that’s what Luke always saw through the windows of his room in his lost childhood…
He rubbed his wound thoroughly, as if he was testing if it still hurts… A moan coming from deep inside of him answered his question…
“…I should’ve been dead by now…” he thought, still gazing through the window…
…He was trembling of pain in his old bed… above it, a picture shimmered…
A dark-haired child was winking within it…
…A gone Luke…
“I’m not tired…” he said glimpsing at the pillow lying behind him…”But…
I guess I could at least pretend I am…”
He stretched his legs, although he was struggling not to get too relaxed…
But a thought made him jump out of bed, much more tensed up than ever…
The package…
He ran across the room, but his desperate search didn’t take too long – his bare foot hit what he was looking for.
Grabbing the package, he slowly sat on the bed, trying to maximize the tension…
And he unwrapped it… just to discover a book in black…
His red eyes stopped upon the title…
Holy …Bible…
Without a word, he opened it, flicking through it…
“What was Raven thinking, anyway?...” he wondered, swearing in his thoughts…
Another page turned over… and he saw something that got his blood boiling strongly…
For the Lamb at the centre of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water…
“What?...”
…And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes…
Luke shook his head, reading the last phrase again …
And again…
“LIARS…THEY’RE ALL JUST LIARS!!!”
…On his knees, with the Bible staring at him compassionately, he screamed as if he was calling the sun to bring an end to his fears…
“Liars… liars… what do they think they’re doing to me…” he sighed about to drown in his tears…
He crawled on the floor, conquered by tiredness… his wound opens once again…
He didn’t even bother to cover it… but fell asleep, hoping to die in his own blood…
