My fourth return didnât happen for another twenty five years. Iâd foolishly believed that if I destroyed Ohwayhee, I could live a normal human life. But now, the rough growth spreading across my chest has shown me otherwise. What I finally came to understand, and what I refused to consider then, is that joining my ancestors wouldâve been a magnificent ascension, unlike anything a regular human could ever experience. It wouldâve been something wonderful.
Iâve become a better person this past quarter of a century. When I was ready for it, sobriety found me again easily. With my not-quite-human constitution, the drugs never had hold of me the same way they mightâve with others. For years, Iâd forced them on myself, yet when I decided I didnât need them, the physical addiction simply wasnât present. The years tempered my hate, and a natural wisdom slowly grew upon my blistered soul. The visions of Solomon Longburke stopped long ago, about three years after the man himself died in prison. Iâve made peace with what Iâve done, but I can never forgive myself, nor should anyone else be willing to forgive me, ever.
Iâm naked, and I find myself standing here upon the ground that was once Ohwayhee. The land is dead, at least in the sense that it doesnât talk to me anymore. It doesnât feel, and it has no knowledge to speak of. Small trees and bushes populate the area, but theyâre nothing special. I find a nice sunny spot and survey the land one last time with my human eyes, and a small smile graces my face as I think about what this place once was. I wiggle my feet back and forth to dig them into the dirt, and I can feel them growing down deep into the earth. I raise my arms to the sky. This is the point where I should be hearing a hundred happy salutations, but because of my actions all those years ago, thereâs only silence.
I know I may be here alone for a thousand years or more, yet my despair momentarily switches to hope. Maybe, with my return, the earth with come back to life, and a new generation will be spawned forth. But then, I wonder, whoâll be around to rescue them and raise them? Mostly, I think of the man who was supposed to be my son. Heâs still out there. I was never able to find him once I actually tried, but that was several years after I abandoned him. Heâs made it to adulthood, somehow I can feel that heâs still alive, yet he canât possibly know his true origin. Itâs regrettable that heâs grown up without any sort of roadmap to what heâs supposed to become. Heâll go through this same transition one day too, but it will most likely be a time of terror for him. I focus my thoughts and try to reach out to him. He could be anywhere on Earth, and I simply donât know if he can hear me.
