Chapter seven:

East Jesus Nowhere

Gloria pitched the idea of Christianity to her boyfriend. Let's say he was not happy. He didn't want Gloria to try and change him. He broke out into a fit of rage. He screamed, quoting many religious terms in such a way that made them sound like bullshit. He climbs out the window, standing on the railing of the fire escape. He screams, "All the white boys" Glora grasps his arm. Gloria screams "STAND DOWN!" Christian shook her off. "And the Black Girls" Gloria screams again before crying and heading inside. Christian yells into the window, "You're the soldiers of the new world! He climbs inside the apartment and pins Gloria up against the wall. "You put your faith in a miracle. Your 'god' has no control over me. You let go, or you get the fuck out of here. Gloria didn't want to admit it, but she knew subconciously that she didn't really believe in the religion to begin with. Christian's intense control problems and the way he held such power turned Gloria on. She threw herself at Christian, her arms around him and their lips connecting, they fell back onto their bed. Christian woke up later that night, it was only about 6:30 when they fell asleep. Now, it was 8:45. He decided to welcome Gloria to her new life. He was about to leave the apartment when he realized: "I'm nude." He walked back to their room and put his clothes on. He folded Gloria's and placed them next to her naked body lying on the bed. He grabbed a can of spraypaint and blasted onto the wall, "BEACH". He then headed down to the beach and gathered wood, creating a bonfire. No one else was at the beach when Gloria arrived she saw the bonfire and approached it. Facing Christian, she said "I'm ready. I'm ready to let go, and I'm leaving in an overly dramatic way, because that's how I do it. She grabbed some nearby scrap metal that somewhat resembled a cross, and stuck it into some nearby dirt. Christian gathered some rope, and Gloria stripped nude. She told Christian to tie her on. She was tied there, and sang "Oh bless me lord, for I have sinned. It's been a lifetime since I last confessed." Christian sat down, admiring Gloria. "I threw my crutches in the river of a shadow of doubt..." She took a deep breath and yelled "AND I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!" Together, Christian and Gloria sang. "A fire burns today, of blasphemy and genocide. The sirens of decay will infiltrate the inside." Christian put out the fire, and let Gloria down. This time, Christian advanced towards her, and they fell to the ground, both ready for each other. They fell asleep on the beach that night.
