The sky was bright and clear, just like him, she
thought while caressing his soft hair. Somewhere outside she could hear the sound of cars and restless people, but here, inside this huge empty house, in this dim room, the darkness wrapped them with its silence, guarding from all evil. She could hear his heartbeat and for awhile, believed she was pure too, just like him.
Norma black glanced through the window, her feet padding restlessly on the soft carpet, afraid to wake the demons of that ancient house. She was familiar with every one of them, nasty creatures with their long fangs and and devil like glowing eyes. They always found her when she was alone, lurking in the shadows of her mind, sneaking up to her room like shades of nightmare, scratching the floor with their terrible claws. But she was alone no more, for the first time in her life she had someone who looked at her with her own eyes, smiling. And she watched proudly when he created a circle of light around him, keeping the demons away. She gazed at the cloudless sky, noticing one single star, on that was brighter than all the others, and she gave him his name.
Years after, when the fragile glass shattered and the pieced imbedded her face, making her bleed, she cursed her son for he couldn't share his light with her.
She cursed him because he wasn't like her, or maybe… maybe because she haven't learn how to be like him. The love and the hatred fought in her head like two rabid rats, making her pin her nails into his shield of light, hoping to tear it apart forgetting that t the demons couldn't get through. So she fell on the cold hard marble, her tears falling silently while she watched her demons drag her to the bottom of her personal hell.
