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.
