CHAPTER TWENTY
The Abomination
I KNOW SHE’S HERE. THE SOUL formerly known as Gracen. She watched me burn the book. Excellent. Now she knows that nothing can stop me, and she can just watch the world burn like the rest of them.
It’s nothing personal.
Just business.
Just divine business.
A cleansing as it were.
The flood.
The fire.
I’m the fire.
Course, fire isn’t as easy to come back from as a flood.
No Ark this time, folks. Just me. Just the end.
They should be thanking me.
They should…
They…
I don’t want to die.
Please… please stop it.
Why does it hurt so much? Where’s my mommy?
I have to get home… why can’t I get back in my body?
I stop, and I listen. I don’t want to listen, but I have no choice. All these voices invade my head like a swarm of bees. Annoying little bees that have no business inside my head.
It reminds me of when Gracen was in here and Hart would get inside her head. He would make her see things, hear things… I hear things now.
Only now it’s real. Very real.
I can hear them.
All those souls I ejected from their bodies.
They’re all around.
Unable to cross over because I sealed both sides shut.
They are stuck in the Abyss.
Alone and scared, not sure what to do or where to go.
Doesn’t matter where they go now. They won’t last much longer anyway.
But…
They won’t shut up.
They won’t stop screaming and whining and complaining.
I cover my ears to try to make them go away. They get louder and louder until I can’t take it anymore. I don’t feel their pain. I can’t feel their pain, but I can hear it. It nearly knocks me down. The volume of it. The number of people. All of it. Just… I can’t handle it. It needs to stop. I’ll make it stop.
I run through the house until I make it to the street outside. All those dead bodies strewed on the street like they are nothing. A few buzzards are happy. The souls aren’t happy, though. They aren’t… I can’t take it…
It needs to stop.
All the voices.
Just stop.
Just stop.
I shut my eyes and fall to my knees with my hands on my ears. The souls are annoying and painful, and they need to stop! I feel the light coming from inside me before I actually see it. When it comes out, it’s pure white. White and beautiful. It erupts slowly at first. Then, in one big boom, it engulfs the city and keeps going in all directions.
My body shakes as the light shines brighter and brighter.
The light spreads.
Thankfully, the voices shut up.
All but one.
