"Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you..."
"OPEN UP THIS DAMNED DOOR NOW!
My lips parted in a silent cry of desperation as I tried to finish the prayer.
He was home.
The wood splintered and gave in. Satan walked through the door. The cause of all my pain.
My own flesh and blood. My uncle. My only family.
Skin to skin. Bitter red liquid to floor. Tasting some of it in my mouth, I hopelessly willed myself to unconsciousness. Nothing happened. I was awake.
I watched the form of his hand snake up underneath my scratchy eiderdown. I could see it and feel it now, travelling up. It feels horribly wrong, light and rough at the same time. I struggled before but it's no use. Up and up, then down over my knee, my hip, my shoulder, my stomach...
'Every moment I think of you. You're always there, when I'm left in my head with nowhere to go.'
I composed the silent letter to the one I would never meet.
I imagined myself twirling in a dress, with him by my side.
'You haunt me you know. You'll never know how sweet you are.'
Excitement swelled up inside of me as I looked around the stark alleyway, suddenly transformed by illusion.
'Fine golden hair; Even your duplicate comes not close'
I fingered a tattered poster of him, the best picture I might ever have.
'Have you looked into your mirror? You eyes are consuming me, green as a tropical lagoon.'
My only kin's words, actions, abuse echoed around my world.
But I did not live in that world anymore. I was here, dreaming of Cole. It was true he may be only a celebrity to others, a pretty face to look at. But he was more to me. He was everything to me. He was more than me.
I wove another web of fantasy, my receiving a rose and our first kiss.
'You'll never know how sweet you are.'
I love it!! I swear this would be a great full-length story!!
