The Darkness

A foreboding evil approaches.What is this evil? Is it a killer,that has a sharpened blade.No,It is an unseen evil ,that is not seen in the darkest of nights ,nor the brightest of days. This creature can be seen be no one,not by a king nor a peasant.Saints may have seen the path to salvation ,but even they can not see the creature of darkness when it approaches.This evil is neither male ,nor female.It knows no gender.It has no name to call it by, It is as has been searching for its prize as long as time has existed.

It comes closer. Where did it come from? Was it cast out of heaven? Or was it sent from Hell,command by Lucifer to reek havoc on the living? No this creature no knows no master. It came from nowhere and everywhere. It searches for that one thing that it wants,it needs,it craves.The creature comes not from heaven ,Hell nor even the stars But, the darkness itself.

The darkness stalks its prey. Does it it speak?The creature hears all tongues. Though, it speaks none of its own.It makes noise to speak of when it approaches.It will not be heard, there is sound for it to make.But, it hears every sound no matter how minute.The sound of the tossing and turning in a bed ,or the beating of a jogger,running on the pavement.

The creature looms over its prize. What does it want? It wants but one thing.The creature wants not to be loved. It doesn't want power over the masses,bending the people to its will.Tough when it takes what wants.You will become its prisoner,trapped in a unknown place.But, what does he take?

Its plunges into your body ,you fell nothing ,It takes hold of what of wants.The one thing it craves for.Grabbing on to its prize,it pulls what it wants from your body.You still fell nothing.What did take? It takes the one thing that you need more than any other. How will you live without it?You will fade into the darkness without this. It took your eternal spirit,your soul.

The creature of utter darkness saw its newest target,sleeping soundly in it's bed. The creature grabbed the soul. Pulling the soul out of the body slowly.Reaching into the very essence of the young soul. Undistributed by the creature of darkness,it kept sleeping.

Unaware that this creature of darkness was taking it's soul from it's very being in a deep sleep, the soul dreamed of simply watching the sun go down. How peacefully it was? No violence,no suffering. Just a beautiful orange sky going dimming turning into a darker purple, and even slowly into a beautiful night sky ,with no stars seen in the night's sky.The stars being faded out by the darkness of night.

Maybe through an act of divine intervention. Or by pure luck. The creature felt something it unusual for it, a sharp pain. The pain caused the creature too much pain, leaving the body the creature. Left with with something a small portion of the young soul. What troubles will this cause for the still sleeping soul? Where is the creature going to?

The Theft

The soul left in anger an emotion?was once pure and clean but now without that small piece of the prize .It will soon see life in a whole new light,a dark one.The purity will go so slowly but it will go.

The soul was once the shinning light of society ,humanity's best example of the showing,love, honor, and justice.The beckon that could show any away from darkness.The soul that could never lie ,did just that ling to all,when some spectated it cheated to get what it wanted,The perfect score on an exam ,or perhaps cheated the law stealing some few extra dollars.

The soul leaned from it's doctor that it's once perfect body,was no longer perfect ,though it didn't heed any warning of issues to it's body and continued to live how it wanted.Drinking partying ,stealing,swearing, fighting.

The soul continued to go down a dark path,where without that small piece of his soul that the creature of darkness took,it had no choice but to follow.It continued to beat men and women to a pulp ,not caring about it's body.Nothing mattered but it's self and what it wanted.It had no idea as it committed adultery, how it soul was slipping further into the clutches of the darkness.

Even when it's spouse found out of it's adulterous ways it didn't care.It continued what it was doing ,enjoying life even if it had a cough here and there.The soul took a break from the life it love to see it's doctor .It was becoming best of friends with the good doctor. Seeing the doctor once every two weeks,something was always wrong with it. The list of aliments grew ,and as it did. The soul lost itself to the pleasures it wanted not caring still even though the good doctor warned it to take waring.

The Death

The soul gave into the darkness almost completely.After getting into a bar fight,which wasn't uncommon for it.The soul pulled out one man's most deadliest weapons,and the weapon cried out .It was heard by all though none dared to speak of what they had seen.The pool of crimson blood.,horrible sight ,though what was to become of the soul was a far worse fate,than the quick death ,the soul gave the unfortunate bar patron.

The good doctor,had news of a most horrible kind ,though the good doctor worked many miracles in many years.This was one the one aliment that caused the good doctor grief.It was a sight,the good doctor seen far too many times.The face of Death,starring at the doctor,The healer gave apologizes,not knowing what to do,fir the poor soul.Even though the healer had a plan.

The soul went before it's God begging for forgiveness, repenting for all it had done.And God gave forgiveness to him,like to all souls of whom did the same.No matter their trespasses.But, it would still never see the wonderful light gates of heaven.The creature of Darkness had other plans.

The soul now had to live in a place of healing,though healing was a far cry for this soul,who fell so far from the light.It lived in pain each and every day,a horrible treatment for a horrible aliment.It was too late like the darkness itself ,the disease within the soul's body,spread everywhere through it's body. Each day there was more pain and suffering and it couldn't take ,what it called life anymore. The soul did an abomination against it's own self,taking the same horrible weapon.All it saw the darkness.

When the healers found the body of the soul it was laying in a pull of blood,with a letter to all it was wrong stating that it was sorry for all those it was wrong.

Though God forgave the soul for what it had done.The creature did not know what forgiveness even was.It took it's prize away from both Heaven and Hell. IT was cast into a prison where other souls like it stood.Unable to go anywhere in this prison that was made of nothing,It sat there in the cell where ,the soul resigned itself.

You ask,what would happen if the attempt on it's life fail?Nothing better if not worse.The soul would live out in the place of healing,for a year suffering from its disease,and then it's life would be over painfully and it too would join the stolen souls.
