Devil's appointment

A Room Where We Can Someday See Saturn And Moon

          Confusion, the only word that's able to describe us, we didn't know what we should do, and before we even said a word that entity talked again...

     “Full of questions....therefore all your desired answers between your hands now"... The faceless demon seemed to be staring at the boy, waiting for his next step.

          The young child was relaxed, excited, confused, yet the scene before his eyes is the clearest view he ever witnessed.……blinded by the thirst of what every part of him was seeking for....still the fact that we were familiar with him didn't stop us from asking him: “How did you enter here?”

     “You invited §£ in…. You opened the door for §£ ” - Pointing out to the kid's hands - “If you don't believe §£.... look at the keys”

          The boy wasn't shocked, nor even surprised, something inside him screamed that this is ordinary.....he looked at his hands.... at the keys.... and returned his focus to the thing in front of him... “You said you are the Devil... right? ”

     “...."

     “Much of an answer.....at least what's the deal with this torch? ”

          The devil stared at the kid for a moment - as if he was looking through us - .....with a mocking voice he said: “Is that what you wish to know? ”

          Another question we couldn't answer.......another burden was added….and another wall we start building...

     “Yet just to show you §¥ good intentions...... put your arm in it, it's not meant to hurt you, it's not made to burn you....unlike all the people around you”….the Devil noticed the doubt on the kid's face, so he continued: “Go on, feel it...how warm, it is....it's made to guide you...to light your way…”

          The little kid felt like he had nothing else to lose... “Why not..?”  - he thought to himself - carrying his hesitations the boy put his hand above the torch, expecting nothing but more failures...an emotional warmth traveled through his veins, settled in his heart…..immediately the kid realized that he fell in love with this feeling......a beautiful addiction, or so we thought...

     “Based on your face, is it crystal clear for you now that ¶ meant you no harm? ”

          The kid couldn't hear every single word that was being said, something was stopping him from doing so. Yet the overwhelming feeling kept him distracted.....“Yes...” the words came out of the boy's mouth like water flowing downhill. We acknowledged that he's a part of our house now…

          ....The table was torched catching on fire little by little, yet still, the kid wasn't able to distinguish this detail.... maybe he did on a subconscious level but he was too anesthetic to be aware of it.….

          Until now the young boy felt like he's flying high in the sky, all he's wishing for is this ever-ending state of mind to last forever...a naive statement to be considered or even thought of, not lasting for too long is a concept that gives things a value, makes us treasure them while we have them...but this was another puzzle piece we didn't have back then….the dream stopped, the atmosphere changed, that overwhelming feeling of warmth the kid was cherishing turned into pure suffocation, he began shaking...so disturbed….with every word the devil was saying..... another knife found it's way to settle in the child's heart.
