“Votive” by Packwolf Lupestripe

I wrap my coat tighter around

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

body

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

desperate

Speaker:

attempt

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

shield

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wind.

Speaker:

My

Speaker:

teeth

Speaker:

chatter

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

make

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

way

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

path,

Speaker:

kicking

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

sodden

Speaker:

leaves

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

wake.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

push

Speaker:

through

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

thick

Speaker:

blanket

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

drizzle

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

clings

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

air,

Speaker:

cursing

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

seems

Speaker:

more

Speaker:

intent

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

clinging

Speaker:

on to

Speaker:

me.
I

Speaker:

sigh.

Speaker:

Why

Speaker:

did

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

die

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

October?
The

Speaker:

graves in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

churchyard

Speaker:

leer

Speaker:

back,

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

jagged

Speaker:

teeth

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

monster

Speaker:

threatening

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

devour

Speaker:

me.

Speaker:

I’ll

Speaker:

walk

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

hers

Speaker:

later

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

lay

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

horse

Speaker:

plush

Speaker:

upon

Speaker:

it.

Speaker:

She

Speaker:

always

Speaker:

enjoyed

Speaker:

riding.

Speaker:

It

Speaker:

seemed

Speaker:

more

Speaker:

fitting

Speaker:

than

Speaker:

lilies.
I

Speaker:

blink

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

mist

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

wonder

Speaker:

how

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

got

Speaker:

here.

Speaker:

Mid-twenties

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

alone,

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

spectre

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

what

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

once

Speaker:

was.

Speaker:

It’s

Speaker:

hard

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

believe

Speaker:

it’s

Speaker:

already

Speaker:

been

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

year.

Speaker:

Time

Speaker:

has

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

habit

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

passing

Speaker:

too

Speaker:

quickly

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

too

Speaker:

slowly.
I

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

see

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

black

Speaker:

portal

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

front

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

me,

Speaker:

framed

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

dilapidated

Speaker:

masonry

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

moss-covered

Speaker:

stone.

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

sure

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

day,

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

place

Speaker:

would

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

offered

Speaker:

salvation

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

pious,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

we’re

Speaker:

all

Speaker:

sinners

Speaker:

nowadays

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

myriad

Speaker:

distractions.
I

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

tumbledown

Speaker:

walls

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

wonder

Speaker:

how

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

church

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

still

Speaker:

functional.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

congregation

Speaker:

must

Speaker:

equal

Speaker:

single

Speaker:

figures

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

average

Speaker:

age

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

ghost.

Speaker:

I’d

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

surprised

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

some

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

hadn’t

Speaker:

died

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

pews,

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

more

Speaker:

people

Speaker:

leaving

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

post-industrial

Speaker:

town.
I

Speaker:

stop

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

stare

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

darkness,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

examining

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

own

Speaker:

soul

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

interrogating

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

life.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

sigh

Speaker:

once

Speaker:

again.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

least

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

can

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

light

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

candle

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

memory.

Speaker:

Orphaned

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

birth,

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

no-one

Speaker:

else.
But

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

truth

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

now,

Speaker:

neither

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

I.
“Hello,”

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

shout

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

cross

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

inky

Speaker:

black,

Speaker:

squinting

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

contrast

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

light

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

full

Speaker:

moon

Speaker:

outside. “Is

Speaker:

anyone

Speaker:

there?”
Silence.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

don’t

Speaker:

know

Speaker:

whether

Speaker:

that’s

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

good

Speaker:

thing

Speaker:

or

Speaker:

not,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

heart

Speaker:

skips

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

beat

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

knees

Speaker:

start

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

shake.
I

Speaker:

breathe

Speaker:

heavily

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

become

Speaker:

accustomed

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

gloom.

Speaker:

On

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

far

Speaker:

side,

Speaker:

there’s

Speaker:

an

Speaker:

altar

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

dimly

Speaker:

framed

Speaker:

crucifix

Speaker:

above

Speaker:

it.

Speaker:

Six

Speaker:

rows

Speaker:

of pews

Speaker:

separate

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

podium,

Speaker:

while

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

far

Speaker:

corner,

Speaker:

there

Speaker:

stands

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

baptismal

Speaker:

font.
I

Speaker:

exhale

Speaker:

again,

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

heart

Speaker:

pumping

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

chest

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

struggle

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

bearings.

Speaker:

I’ve

Speaker:

been

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

plenty

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

churches,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

there’s

Speaker:

always

Speaker:

something

Speaker:

unnerving

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

being

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

alone.
“Hello!”

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

call

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

again. “Are

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

there,

Speaker:

Reverend?”

Speaker:

But

Speaker:

still

Speaker:

there

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

silence.
I

Speaker:

pluck

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

phone

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

pocket

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

flick

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

torch,

Speaker:

hoping

Speaker:

its

Speaker:

light

Speaker:

will

Speaker:

assuage

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

fears.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

swirl

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

around

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

empty

Speaker:

nave

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

let

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

settle

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

rack

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

corner.

Speaker:

A

Speaker:

handful

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

candles

Speaker:

blink

Speaker:

invitingly

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

hone

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

upon

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

an

Speaker:

aircraft

Speaker:

coming

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

land.
I

Speaker:

watch

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

flames

Speaker:

dance

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

place

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

coin

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

box.

Speaker:

It

Speaker:

will

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

little

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

save

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

church,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

may

Speaker:

save

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

soul.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

then

Speaker:

scoff,

Speaker:

knowing

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

will

Speaker:

take

Speaker:

much

Speaker:

more

Speaker:

than

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

dollar

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

soul

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

redeemed.
I

Speaker:

pick up

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

fresh

Speaker:

candle

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

touch its

Speaker:

wick

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

another,

Speaker:

placing

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

delicately

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

an

Speaker:

empty

Speaker:

holder

Speaker:

before

Speaker:

taking

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

step

Speaker:

back.
My

Speaker:

stomach

Speaker:

tightens and

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

throat

Speaker:

runs

Speaker:

dry as

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

follow

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

light

Speaker:

darting

Speaker:

around

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

room.

Speaker:

Its

Speaker:

movement

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

hypnotic

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

get entranced

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

its

Speaker:

spell,

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

gold

Speaker:

shimmering

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

shining

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

beacon

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

heaven.

Speaker:

The air

Speaker:

turns

Speaker:

cold,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

fail

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

perceive

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

change,

Speaker:

captivated

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

am

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

enchanting

Speaker:

dance.
Somewhere

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

ether,

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

rumble

Speaker:

approaches,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

don’t

Speaker:

notice

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

avalanche

Speaker:

descending

Speaker:

upon

Speaker:

me.

Speaker:

Still

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

remain

Speaker:

transfixed,

Speaker:

catatonic

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

flame,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

watch

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

smoke

Speaker:

twisting

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

twirling

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

reverential

Speaker:

air.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

inhale

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

swear

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

becomes

Speaker:

part

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

me,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

two

Speaker:

souls

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

become

Speaker:

infused

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

one.
In

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

distance

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

hear

Speaker:

creaking,

Speaker:

then

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

door

Speaker:

slamming

Speaker:

shut.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

snap

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

trance

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

blink

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

exit.

Speaker:

It

Speaker:

takes

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

second

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

compute

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

then

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

dashing

Speaker:

towards

Speaker:

it,

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

heart

Speaker:

pounding

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

fast

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

feet

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

desire

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

escape.
When

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

arrive,

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

worst

Speaker:

fears

Speaker:

are

Speaker:

confirmed.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

shake

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

handle,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wood

Speaker:

doesn’t

Speaker:

budge.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

bang

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

door,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

there

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

no-one

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

hear.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

scrabble

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

slats,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

everything

Speaker:

holds

Speaker:

firm.
In

Speaker:

panic

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

dart

Speaker:

towards

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

altar,

Speaker:

desperately

Speaker:

hoping

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

find

Speaker:

another

Speaker:

way

Speaker:

out.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

wind

Speaker:

rattles

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

windows and

Speaker:

seeps

Speaker:

its

Speaker:

way

Speaker:

in,

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

church

Speaker:

turning

Speaker:

increasingly

Speaker:

bitter

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

each

Speaker:

passing

Speaker:

second.
I

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

see

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

light of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

moon

Speaker:

streaming

Speaker:

through

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

stained

Speaker:

glass,

Speaker:

illuminating

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

scene

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

know

Speaker:

only

Speaker:

too

Speaker:

well.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

Book

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

Revelation.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

Day

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

Judgement.

Speaker:

Shadows

Speaker:

cast

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

upon

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

celestial

Speaker:

source.
I

Speaker:

sense

Speaker:

movement

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

immediately

Speaker:

skid

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

halt,

Speaker:

knowing

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

moment

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

longer

Speaker:

alone.
“Hello,”

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

call,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

again

Speaker:

no-one

Speaker:

replies.

Speaker:

My

Speaker:

sense

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

unease

Speaker:

continues

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

grow.
I

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

phone

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

see

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

terrified

Speaker:

face

Speaker:

staring

Speaker:

back.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

jab

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

screen

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

hope

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

divining

Speaker:

salvation,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

can

Speaker:

only

Speaker:

type

Speaker:

two

Speaker:

digits

Speaker:

before

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

suddenly

Speaker:

goes

Speaker:

dead.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

curse,

Speaker:

knowing

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

should

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

charged

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

car.
My

Speaker:

legs

Speaker:

start

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

quiver

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

slinks

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

shadows,

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

snake

Speaker:

slowly

Speaker:

sliding

Speaker:

its

Speaker:

way

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

view.

Speaker:

My

Speaker:

mouth

Speaker:

drops

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

absorb

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

new

Speaker:

form;

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

elegant

Speaker:

horse

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

always

Speaker:

wanted

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

be.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

own

Speaker:

body

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

feel

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

deep

Speaker:

sense

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

shame,

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

bug

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

spider

Speaker:

caught

Speaker:

within

Speaker:

divine

Speaker:

majesty.
Soon

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

there,

Speaker:

standing

Speaker:

before

Speaker:

me,

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

golden

Speaker:

mane

Speaker:

flowing,

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

eyes

Speaker:

glowing

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

rage.

Speaker:

Her

Speaker:

pelt

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

angel

Speaker:

white

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

fangs

Speaker:

glisten

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

Devil’s,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

saliva

Speaker:

cascades

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

quivering

Speaker:

lips.

Speaker:

Fire

Speaker:

shoots

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

within,

Speaker:

whipping

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

storm,

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

anger

Speaker:

projected

Speaker:

towards

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

trembling

Speaker:

frame.
“You!”

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

bellows,

Speaker:

turning

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

heart

Speaker:

cold.
She

Speaker:

snorts

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

takes

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

step

Speaker:

towards

Speaker:

me,

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

movement

Speaker:

deliberate,

Speaker:

hooves

Speaker:

clomping

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

stone.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

echo

Speaker:

reverberates

Speaker:

around

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

bare

Speaker:

lithic

Speaker:

walls,

Speaker:

echoing

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

emptiness

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

feel

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

soul.
Her

Speaker:

head

Speaker:

constantly

Speaker:

flicks

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

sizes

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

up,

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

predator

Speaker:

calculating

Speaker:

when

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

pounce

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

its

Speaker:

prey.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

hear

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

sound

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

breaths

Speaker:

rolling

Speaker:

around

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

church,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

merely

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

breeze

Speaker:

within

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

furious

Speaker:

tempest.
I turn to run,

Speaker:

but she’s on

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

flash,

Speaker:

pinning

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

holding

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

tight.

Speaker:

My

Speaker:

phone

Speaker:

shatters

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

scatters

Speaker:

across

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

hard

Speaker:

floor

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

weight

Speaker:

grinds

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

unforgiving

Speaker:

flagstones.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

shudder

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

coldness

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

masonry

Speaker:

seeps

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

stomach,

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

sharp

Speaker:

contrast

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

heat

Speaker:

emanating

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

above.
She

Speaker:

tears

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

clothes

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

voracious

Speaker:

teeth,

Speaker:

stripping

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

clean

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

piece

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

skewered

Speaker:

meat.

Speaker:

She

Speaker:

flips

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

cuts

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

stare

Speaker:

deep

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

eyes.

Speaker:

For

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

few

Speaker:

seconds,

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

falters

Speaker:

then

Speaker:

those

Speaker:

daggers

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

ice

Speaker:

melt

Speaker:

away,

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

bitterness

Speaker:

diluted

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

recalls

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

shared

Speaker:

past.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

drown

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

familiar

Speaker:

hue,

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

fear

Speaker:

evaporating

Speaker:

within

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

shared

Speaker:

familiarity.

Speaker:

Her

Speaker:

eyes

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

thing

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

loved

Speaker:

most

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

find

Speaker:

myself

Speaker:

falling

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

love

Speaker:

once

Speaker:

again.
She

Speaker:

smiles

Speaker:

softly

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

smile

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

return,

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

previous

Speaker:

affection

Speaker:

quelling

Speaker:

her wrath.

Speaker:

My

Speaker:

heart

Speaker:

seems

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

heal

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

first

Speaker:

time

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

months;

Speaker:

since

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

day

Speaker:

I first

Speaker:

realised

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

would

Speaker:

never

Speaker:

come

Speaker:

back.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

blink,

Speaker:

amazed

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

see

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

close

Speaker:

again,

Speaker:

even

Speaker:

though

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

dumbfounded

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

different

Speaker:

frame.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

always

Speaker:

knew

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

an

Speaker:

affinity

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

horses,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

once

Speaker:

did

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

think

Speaker:

she’d

Speaker:

actually

Speaker:

transform.

Speaker:

Her

Speaker:

eyes

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

her scent

Speaker:

might

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

all

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

recognise

Speaker:

now,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

know

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

heart

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

true

Speaker:

spiritual

Speaker:

form.
She

Speaker:

nuzzles

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

cheek

Speaker:

softly,

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

breath

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

delicate

Speaker:

kiss

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

neck.

Speaker:

My

Speaker:

heart

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

still

Speaker:

pounding,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

more

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

desire

Speaker:

than

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

fear.

Speaker:

Lascivious

Speaker:

thoughts

Speaker:

flash

Speaker:

through

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

mind

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

sharp

Speaker:

pang

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

shame

Speaker:

cuts

Speaker:

through

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

soul.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

around

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

wonder

Speaker:

whether

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

right

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

church,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

long

Speaker:

past

Speaker:

repentance

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

surrender

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

lust.
Her

Speaker:

tail

Speaker:

swishes

Speaker:

idly

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

side

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

lips

Speaker:

casually

Speaker:

meet,

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

familiar

Speaker:

smell

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

lavender

Speaker:

infecting

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

air.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

close

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

eyes

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

tongues

Speaker:

dance

Speaker:

tangoes

Speaker:

together,

Speaker:

while

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

hands

Speaker:

follow

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

contours

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

body

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

neck

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

hips.
She

Speaker:

clambers

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

top

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

grinds

Speaker:

against

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

crotch.

Speaker:

My

Speaker:

mouth

Speaker:

turns

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

dust

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

cock

Speaker:

rises

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

meet

Speaker:

her.

Speaker:

There’s

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

warmth

Speaker:

between

Speaker:

us

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

threatens

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

ignite,

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

two

Speaker:

sticks

Speaker:

rubbing

Speaker:

together

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

depths

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

desire.
I

Speaker:

gasp

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

moist

Speaker:

lips

Speaker:

caress

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

tip

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

dick,

Speaker:

massaging it

Speaker:

gently

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

does

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

tongue.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

sigh

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

kiss

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

lowers

Speaker:

herself

Speaker:

onto

Speaker:

me,

Speaker:

shifting

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

slightly

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

can

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

purchase

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

needs.
She

Speaker:

stops

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

while

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

time

Speaker:

does

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

well,

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

silence

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

church

Speaker:

becoming

Speaker:

consuming.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

count

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

seconds

Speaker:

through

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

pounding

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

head,

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

anticipation

Speaker:

rising

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

combined heat.
She

Speaker:

lifts

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

legs

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

lips

Speaker:

slowly

Speaker:

part,

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

trail

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

saliva

Speaker:

testament

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

bond.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

air

Speaker:

starts

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

feel

Speaker:

heavy,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

ready

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

defiled,

Speaker:

its

Speaker:

holiness

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

tainted

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

most

Speaker:

carnal

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

acts.
I

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

eyes

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

grin.

Speaker:

She

Speaker:

smiles

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

return

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

we’re

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

once

Speaker:

again.

Speaker:

She

Speaker:

lowers

Speaker:

herself

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

starts

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

build

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

rhythm,

Speaker:

rocking

Speaker:

backwards

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

forwards

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

time

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

groans.

Speaker:

They

Speaker:

seem

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

hollow

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

empty

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

cavernous

Speaker:

space,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

depths

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

heart,

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

are

Speaker:

anything

Speaker:

but.
She

Speaker:

moves

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

muzzle

Speaker:

towards

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

nickers

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

throat,

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

rocking

Speaker:

unhindered

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

shifting

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

pose.

Speaker:

Still

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

keeps

Speaker:

pounding

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

leans

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

kiss,

Speaker:

muffling

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

moans

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

stifling

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

cries.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

clench

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

waves

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

pleasure

Speaker:

build

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

body,

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

mind

Speaker:

roiling

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

writhing

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

quivering

Speaker:

form.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

know

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

getting

Speaker:

close,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

don’t

Speaker:

want

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

end.

Speaker:

I have

Speaker:

missed

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

much,

Speaker:

despite

Speaker:

all

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

has

Speaker:

passed.
I

Speaker:

gulp,

Speaker:

feeling

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

dam

Speaker:

starting

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

break,

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

tsunami

Speaker:

rising

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

seat

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

love.

Speaker:

She

Speaker:

tilts

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

head

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

mane

Speaker:

glistens

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

gold,

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

halo

Speaker:

resplendent

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

gloom

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

church.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

eyes

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

drown

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

those

Speaker:

pools

Speaker:

once

Speaker:

again

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

see

Speaker:

memories

Speaker:

reflected

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

time

Speaker:

spent

Speaker:

together.
Five

Speaker:

years

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

forever

Speaker:

when

Speaker:

you’re

Speaker:

caught

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

trap

Speaker:

yet

Speaker:

stuck

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

person

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

can’t

Speaker:

live

Speaker:

without.

Speaker:

Holidays,

Speaker:

birthdays

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

Christmases

Speaker:

all meld

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

one,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

does

Speaker:

renting

Speaker:

then

Speaker:

buying

Speaker:

our very

Speaker:

first

Speaker:

home.

Speaker:

It

Speaker:

all

Speaker:

flicks

Speaker:

through

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

mind

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

continues

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

pound,

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

reel

Speaker:

getting

Speaker:

quicker

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

closer

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

heaven.
The

Speaker:

final

Speaker:

few

Speaker:

months

Speaker:

then

Speaker:

hone

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

view.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

arguments,

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

battles,

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

anger

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

strife.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

guilt,

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

envy,

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

crippling

Speaker:

pain.

Speaker:

Then

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

day

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

found

Speaker:

out that

Speaker:

she’d

Speaker:

cheated

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

me.
It

Speaker:

all

Speaker:

comes

Speaker:

flooding

Speaker:

back,

Speaker:

wave

Speaker:

after

Speaker:

wave,

Speaker:

building

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

building

Speaker:

until

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

swept

Speaker:

away

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

flood.

Speaker:

My

Speaker:

heart

Speaker:

turns

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

ice

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

want

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

stop,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

longer

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

control

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

desires

Speaker:

or

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

life.

Speaker:

She’s

Speaker:

given

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

choice,

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

did

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

her,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

now

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

time

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

repay

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

debt.
I’m

Speaker:

torn

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

melancholic

Speaker:

reverie

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

roars

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

face,

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

point

Speaker:

when

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

tip

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

edge.

Speaker:

Flames

Speaker:

shoot

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

within

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

rough

Speaker:

hooves

Speaker:

scratch

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

body,

Speaker:

tearing

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

flesh

Speaker:

despite

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

howls

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

screams.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

warmth

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

her body

Speaker:

intermixes with the

Speaker:

heat

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

blood,

Speaker:

which

Speaker:

flows

Speaker:

rivers

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

red

Speaker:

onto

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

masonry

Speaker:

below.

Speaker:

It

Speaker:

trickles

Speaker:

away

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

pools

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

base

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

font,

Speaker:

death

Speaker:

framing

Speaker:

birth

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

cycle

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

life.
I

Speaker:

try

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

blink

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

tears

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

cascade

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

body

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

all

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

past

Speaker:

sins.

Speaker:

It

Speaker:

seems

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

last

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

eternity, yet

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

happens

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

fast.

Speaker:

Through

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

shimmering

Speaker:

translucence,

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

see

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

form

Speaker:

disappear,

Speaker:

fading

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

ether

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

leaving

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

detached

Speaker:

once

Speaker:

again.
I

Speaker:

can’t

Speaker:

let

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

happen,

Speaker:

I’ve

Speaker:

been

Speaker:

alone

Speaker:

long

Speaker:

enough.

Speaker:

Her

Speaker:

spirit

Speaker:

dances

Speaker:

towards

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

take

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

deep

Speaker:

breath,

Speaker:

letting

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

seep

Speaker:

through

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

body

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

hope

Speaker:

we’ll

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

together

Speaker:

forever.
I

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

to the

Speaker:

rack

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

see

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

candles

Speaker:

casually

Speaker:

flicker,

Speaker:

beams

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

lighthouse

Speaker:

mocking

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

shipwreck

Speaker:

below.

Speaker:

One

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

one,

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

slowly

Speaker:

burn

Speaker:

out,

Speaker:

leaving

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

cloaked

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

darkness

Speaker:

except

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

light

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

moon.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

force

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

wan

Speaker:

smile

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

lie

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

ledger,

Speaker:

knowing

Speaker:

I’ll

Speaker:

pay

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

body

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

multitude

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

sins.

Speaker:

For

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

moment,

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

calm,

Speaker:

intoxicated

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

love,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

soon

Speaker:

feel

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

poison

Speaker:

coursing

Speaker:

within.
I

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

window

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

recall

Speaker:

Revelations

Speaker:

once
