How could that happen? How could Michael not believe me? Not trust me? How could he think me something unnatural?

I told him everything – everything that I believed, everything that I knew to be true – and he did not even want to listen to a word of it. He acted just like so many of the others … but worse.

Some of the others, I could have expected distrust from. I could have expected them to not believe me (about everything, that is). But how Michael – how my older brother – could turn on me like this … I just do not understand.

It is a betrayal of the worst kind, I will admit. I had never doubted him before, even if I had disagreed with him sometimes. I always knew that he, at least, knew and believed in what he was doing.

He was my brother, after all.

But this time – this time was too much.

Never before had he chosen Father over me in such a great magnitude. Never before had he looked at me with such intense, negative emotion.

Never before did my big brother look as if he hated me.
