Day 979

I was wrong. I was so wrong. He saved me. He said Ask child, and ye shall receive”. And I did and he saved

me. I begged him to help me. I was so sick, I couldn’t stand. My clothes were covered in my own shit and filth.

I couldn’t stop shaking even as I clung to his leg. Then he lifted his hands and looked up to the sky and

brought down the rain. But it wasn’t rain. It was more. It washed it all away. It made me strong again.

! It’s like I couldn’t before, even before I was sick. But now the world is sharp and clear.
And I can SEE!!
The trees are greener, the sky is bright.

He’s different now too. Clean. Like he hasn’t been out here in the Boneyard for years like me. I don’t think he

looked like that before, but I can’t be sure. His voice is younger too. More powerful. He used to sound like an old

man but not now.

I just realized that I don’t know if I’ve ever seen his face. Just his eyes. He’s always wearing that damn

scarf when we talk. I wonder if I could pull it off him. Better not try, he’s obviously magic or something. How

else can you explain this. He

does take it off sometimes when he’s talking to the sky though. I can hear the difference in his voice. I’ll have

to pay more attention. He obviously knows something I don’t about the world.

I asked him if he was a wizard, or an angel, or if he was even human. He laughed and asked me to go inside.

That’s the first time I’ve heard him Laugh, I think. I crawled in and he was already there. I could’ve sworn

he was behind me when

I climbed up.

He walked into the centre of the big room and said “So you think you found god, and that all of the company of

heaven is open to you. I say to you now, sand will cover this place. Sand will cover you.”

I am awake.
