The Devil You Know
“This is sin. This is disgrace. This is shame!”
“Isaac!” my mother said softly, tears already in her eyes. “Please…”
He ignored her. His eyes stayed locked on me, sharp and unforgiving. “You went out there, you got corrupted. This is what happens when you leave your family, your church. You let the devil in!”
I stood up, trembling but defiant. “It’s not the devil, Dad! It’s me! It’s who I am!”
His hand hit the table again, harder this time. “No it’s not!”
