OMEGA, by Jason Andrew

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

It has been three months since my last confession. I’m sure you remember it. It was the night I died. You were the one that gave me Last Rites as I lay dying naked on the street shivering in a pool of my own blood.

Your voice was the last thing I heard before my heart stopped. And it was your voice that stirred me from the ground at my funeral. You were my death and rebirth.

Lying in the ground I listened to my mother and sisters crying. I wondered if they knew the things you did to me.

The sweat on your trembling body is rancid. Funny, I used to shake just like that before our special lessons. I wanted to be pure in God’s love. You taught me all about love, didn’t you?

Don’t cry, Father. We won’t kill you. Not yet.

I have to confess my sins. Confession frees the soul, you used to say. Of course, some might think I don’t have a soul now. That’s the funny thing. You need a soul to burn in hell or ascend to heaven. I’m immortal in this body. My soul shattered. I have nothing left to loose. There’s freedom in that. The only Hell I’ll ever know is on this earth.

Don’t look at me like that!

It was your fault that I was chosen after all. You taught me Latin after school, made me believe in the Sacraments, and you administered my first Eucharist. You taught me other things in our special sessions. You showed me that I was full of sin. You were careful enough to keep me a virgin, but that left two other places for you to feed your carnal urges, didn’t it? The urges that you preached being against God’s will.

You wouldn’t walk me home that night despite my whimpering pleas. Why would you? I was Greasy Grace. Who in the world would want me, except for you?

It turns out that someone else was watching me during my lonely night; someone that had a use for a sinful and wicked girl. He waited for me in the shadows after our last session and he brought friends. They waited until just the right moment when no one was watching. They fell upon me like wolves. They tore at my clothing and bit into my flesh. My body shivered.

I was terrified and I cried out for you, thinking that you could have protected me if only you would have deigned to bring me home like I had asked. Suddenly, they stopped as if commanded by some invisible force and then their eader Joshua stepped out of the shadows.

You can see him over there by the candles. He’s the one with the long hair and the devilish smile. Joshua has lived more than two thousand years. That’s more than you or I could ever imagine. And he picked me.

At the moment of death, he unbuttoned his shirt and cut a swath across his chest.
