Cruciatus 1:1
And so began my century of self torment.
At first I tried to make sense of what I had become. How had this been made possible? I did not know where I was except that I was surrounded by desert. The sun darkened my flesh to a deep bronze hue as I wandered in pain for [...]
Degenero 1:4
I was burning.
I thrust my hands upwards to shield myself from the pain and closed my eyes.
My eyes. My hands.
I rolled over and chocked on sand. It filled my mouth and throat. It burned. My very flesh was on fire. I screamed for hours. My own voice deafening and terrifying. The sand flayed flesh from [...]
Degenero 1:3
For an eternity I cried.
In an instant I Became..
I opened my eyes and was blinded by God.
Degenero 1:2
Was there a God? I knew Him to exist for He had created me. He had created those like me. He had created the universe and had set in in motion. But was He of the universe. Did He exist in time with it and was He watching its progress? In the blackness of my [...]
Degenero 1:1
Despair.
Darkness.
Damnation.
In the briefest of moments I was ripped from my world, her world, and engulfed in utter blackness. I felt the void around me as one would an endless expanse. It had no end or beginning. It was and I had been swallowed by it. Time had no meaning here. It could have been moments [...]
Eve 3:3
I found Eve hiding behind a tree. It was a large tree and I wondered if she chose it because it reminded her of our tree. The tree in her dreams. My creation. My garden.
Could I enter her as I had Adam in order to ease her fear? As I had controlled Adam’s limbs could [...]
Eve 3:2
Anger.
This one emotion I never before understood. When a man raised his hand against his fellow man I found it a natural means to assert one’s authority over another. Man had a will and this alone separated him from other beasts. When he raised a weapon it was an extension of his will. I cared [...]
Eve 3:1
I had witnessed Man’s violence against Man in the past. Neanderthals fighting for shelter when the cold winds pushed them into caves occupied by others. Territorial disputes. The battle to prove one’s superiority over another. Races died out so that others may flourish. Home Sapiens triumphed and spread as would a virus. Man was, and [...]
A Poet in Bradford England
Every year I stop for a day in Bradford and stand outside its wondrous cathedral. Why do I do this? I met a poet there once. He was a mason actually. In the morning he would rise, kiss his wife and child, and spend the rest of the day working on the cathedral’s Nave. He [...]
Eve 2:5
She would no longer go to Adam. I did not see this at first. When she would awaken Adam was already off and hunting. Eve was left to her own actions. She thought of her dreams often and the man she joined beneath the great tree. During her waking hours her eyes sought the tree. [...]
