The Book of Everlasting Life

Chapter Thirty-One

Chapter Thirty-One:
Strength

It was almost as if, I was somewhere being stretched between the sparrow, and Satan. They were fighting over me. For God, is a jealous God. He doesn't like when others take what's his or when he's being neglected. At this point, I crawled to the savior with a thousand demons glued to thy back of my melanin. Lucifer wanted to destroy me. Ultimately, that was his only goal. To steal me from the sparrow, to kill me, pinning me straight to the crucifix, and to destroy and demolish all things me and those around me that meant something pertaining to my life. Ideally, I understood that. But, I believe my mind has a hard time registering just how far he'd go to try and ruin me. For me to preserve, I had to comprehend it.

For I can do all things through the sparrow himself who strengthens me.

Peeling my eyes open, the insane amount of white light nearly blinded my eyes. Piercing my pupils it was painful, so I shut them again. I had to give myself time. I didn't recall leaving my blinds open last night, but I guess we as human beings forget things sometimes.

Trying again, I slowly fluttered my orbs open. Vision blurry, I blinked attempting to refocus my eyesight. The first thing I noticed was the excruciating pain felt throughout various portions of my body. My larynx and trachea was oh so extremely tender and meek. As if I'd swallowed bob-wire. It hurt to think about breathing. My mouth was incredibly sore, and my head felt extremely light. I attempted to shift my body to feel jolts of pain shit throughout my anatomy. Particularly sharp in my right arm. Glancing down, I saw ruffled ivory sheets that weren't mine. My orbs gazed around myself, the white lights, the balloons, the flatscreen plastered up against the wall.

I was in a hospital?

Feeling around with my left hand, I found the remote that controlled everything from the bed to the television. Pressing the nurse-call button, I waited. Within a few seconds, Bianca surprisingly came flying in like a bat out of hell.

"O-Olympas! Oh-my god! You're awake! You're awake, oh my goodness-calm down, okay stay calm. I'm gonna-the doctor I'll get him-I've gotta call everyone!" She tripped over her speech speaking hyper-like.

Okay? That was definitely odd. As my mind adjusted to being awake from a slumber I never even knew I succumbed to, patches of memories from the last current event I clearly saw before it being a void, flooded the periwinkle waves of my brain.

"Ms. Zulu, we're glad to see you awake. Do you know why you're here?" The doctor that sauntered in after Bianca greeted me.

I attempted to shake my head no, but it was a bit sore.

"I don't suggest you do that. You had a sprained neck, which has healed up quite nicely since being here. Can you talk?"

I raised my left hand, shaking my index finger.
