The despair
demon looked at me through slitted eyes.
“I have
shown you your deepest hurt. Yet you smile, “it hissed.
“Thank you”
I said. “It’s been a while since I saw my wife, and it was great to see my
mother again”.
“But, seeing
them again should have broken you” It almost howled.
I spoke
gently, “Oh demon, I know illusions and I know reality. I accepted their
passing long ago. It hurts, true, but it happened. And you know. I would have
done it again. I don’t regret that love. All things come to pass”.
The demon
was shrinking back, as if it was in pain. “Human, I will simply show you more,
more of the truth of your life”.
“Go ahead”
I replied “I have already been through it all and faced it, many, many times.
You think I haven’t replayed it all, over and over again”?
The demon
was scared now. “What are you?”
“Simple” I
said. “I am me.”
