Wow! I'm so happy that this is so well received!
Anyways, here, have a proto-in-between-interlude-thing chapter!
"I think you remember everything… you just can't bring it to mind all the time."
- Edward Albee, Three Tall Women
Interlude
A soul flickers.
Old memories drift to the surface.
Blue eyes.
Black wings
Mat...hew…!
Mat… ie!
A head shakes.
I …an't …lfred.
I'm …orry.
Desperation kicks in.
Matt… if … find you … never …ee you again.
…ome with …e.
If …ou do …othing, they'll kill …
…
….
…lease.
A sigh.
…'m done …alking about …is, Al…ed.
I'll ...oss that bridge …en it co…s.
I sha… …ake my punishment,
Willingly.
A back turns.
Footsteps grow more distant.
…Come …ack!
…atthew!
Listen to me!
The memory sinks to the depths again.
So would anyone care to take a guess at what the Hell is going on?
