The Damned

—Have you ever heard the voice of God?

—O father, why the surprised face?

—Is that fear? You, of all of us in this room, are the one allegedly serving Him, the most Holy One. Us? We all have strayed into the dark path. We are the ones walking through the valley of shadow and death excommunicated from the comfort of His rod and staff. Surely, if you kept the cloth after all you have done in these years, you believe it all was good to the eyes of the Lord and not sinful at all. Then, there's nothing to fear.

Here, take this rosary, find your prayers. Examine yourself.

—Money? We don't care about money. Forgiveness? Haven't you been listening to us? We cannot forgive nor judge. Find your peace! We are not the legion nor the angel of death. We are just the damned collecting a fellow one.

—Brothers? No, you got it wrong. He said collecting, not recruiting. Alas! We are damned, we have sinned and keep sinning. We have chosen to fall and take with us the likes of you.

(Sometimes, mostly when I cannot find my bearings, I try to get my mind off-topic and 'reset.' As I keep banging into a wall with my research, today, I am trying something completely different to my usual love stories and I wrote something really violent where, I hope, different sociopath antihero characters can be realized.)
