Chapter 7
The Cry From The Pit
Mikey watched as the waves crashed on the shore.
He sat beneath a palm tree, watching the sunset.
Sighing softly, he wondered if she would be here again.
As he leaned against the palm tree, breathing the sweet ocean air, he heard her voice.
"Someone! Anyone! Help me! Please! Help!"
His eyes snapped open and he raced across the sand, looking around, yelling," Where are you?"
"Here! Please, it's so dark in here! Save me! Please!" he heard her sobs, wild and sorrowful.
He raced towards her voice, but the sand suddenly seemed to stretch out forever in every direction. He couldn't even see the beach anymore.
"I can't find you!" he called helplessly.
Her voice burst out in song,"
Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Honor to love you
He was running now, her faint voice growing louder as he ran in the direction her words floated from,
Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,
He sucked in his breath as her words floated almost seductively, sweetly and tinged with all the sweet spiciness of her island scent,
You've got this look I can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh...
Your love,
He suddenly paused as he saw the top of a huge hole in the ground. He walked to it slowly.
There was a grating in the hole, like a well, preventing him from seeing the bottom.
"Hello?" he called cautiously.
"I'm here! Please…if you can…if there's any kindness in you, please help me! Save me!"
Her sobs were so sad, so sweet, so alone and hopeless.
He steeled himself as he asked, "Can you touch the grating?"
"No…" her voice sniffled," You're going to leave me, aren't you?"
Her voice sounded resigned, not accusing. She was sad, lonely, and she moaned," They always do. No one will love me. Because I'm stuck here."
"No, you're not stuck! I'm going to get you out!" Mikey promised," Now, can you see anything?"
I can't…Please don't leave me!" she suddenly screamed helplessly," I can't bear being alone! HELP MEEEE!!!!!"
***
Mikey bolted upright, his breath tearing from his lungs in a helpless scream.
As he panted, his hands clenching the bed sheets, he moaned.
"I… I left her there…all alone…"
He started crying helplessly, squeezing his hands into fists til his knuckles turned white.
