Chapter Two – Deliverance

Just at that second, in walked The Big Man, bringing light to the darkness. He brought his arm up to shield his eyes. “You are ready,” God said, his voice ringing in the nothingness.

“Yes. I'm ready. I know what decision I should make,” he replied quietly, still wincing at the brightness.

“Do you, my son? What decision have you chosen?” He folded his hands in front of his stomach, waiting patiently.

“Can you turn your dazzle down a little, God? My eyes are killing me.” He squeezed his eyes tight and the sharp pain behind them eased.

The Big Man chuckled. “Oh, I forgot.” He snapped his fingers and he went dim, now only a soft light came from the bottom of his robes. “You were saying, my son?”

He opened his eyes and blinked a few times slowly. He took a deep breath. “I want to finish my term with you. However long it takes.”

“Do you? And Camille?” He prompted Casey gently.

He looked at God, his face a mask of tormented pain. “I want her happy, nothing more. I don't accept what you've given me to choose from, but I want her happy. If we are meant to be, I will find her.”

The Big Man smiled gently. “Come, my son.”

He stood, his muscles groaning in pain. “Where are we going?” Exhaustion hit him as though he'd been working for days.

God smiled gently again. “You have work that is yet to be finished.” He followed him closely out of the nothingness, back into heaven, the beautiful brightness shocking him after the empty darkness he had been in.

“How long was I at the Waiting Bridge, God? I'm so tired.” His steps grew heavy.

The Big Man looked over his shoulder. “A very long time, my son. You fought a valiant war with yourself.” He looked ahead again and kept walking in silence.

“How long is a very long time, boss?” He caught up to him and touched his shoulder.

“A month and three days,” was the quiet response.

The hallway seemed to stretch on forever. “Where are we going?”

God nodded softly. “All in good time. As I said, you have unfinished business.”

“What about Camille? I saw her in my dream. She told me goodbye.” His throat tightened at the memory.

“Yes, she did. She asked for that much.” He turned to him and smiled. “What a spitfire. Come. I want to show you something. I gave her a choice too, you see. I knew your heart. I knew you would choose the right thing. I also knew her heart as well. She gave you up first. There is no selfishness in her soul.” He smiled fully, dazzling Casey. “Not one ounce of selfishness in your Camille.”

He felt as though he'd been sucker punched, air whooshed out of his lungs and he had to stop to catch his breath. “But why? Why would she do that? She loved me.”

The Big Man came back and touched his shoulder. “Yes, she did. She has released you from your obligations. I left her with the memories of your time together, she didn't want to forget you.
