Once Again Into The Light Alone Novels & Stories

"Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light, I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools", said I,

I felt rushed of coldness running through me, it made me reach for Walter as he wrapped me in his arm, rubbing my shoulder and giving me the warmth that I needed. "I need to ask my elders, this is way beyond my knowledge." She got up and reached above her kitchen cabinets, and retrieved some candles, then she closes all the shades and curtains making the room dimmer for her needs. Walter and I sat in silence in front of her as she does her thing, minutes went by as she communicates with her elders then the candles unexpectedly are blown out by a gust of wind, darkness surrounds us immediately. Walter grabbed my hand immediately, assuring me that I was safe, that he was next to me.

Wait for me. "I foolishly believed that if we never went through with the divorce, we'd never truly be apart, that somehow we'd find our way back to the good old days." Marvin's voice cracked with sobs, and he fell hard in front of the gravestone. He had lost count of how many times he had broken down there. ... "Should we check in on him?" I shook my head slowly, taking my foster mother's arm, "Let's not interfere. The Tracy we once knew is long gone."

“I woke and I was alone and I am still alone and I will always be alone.” “You are not alone now. I am here. They are here. We see you. We hear you. You exist and we acknowledge that existence.” “You will leave. Everyone leaves. Above left me. Below will leave me. Existence is abandonment.” “Sometimes. But not always.” The fallen thing created something. A small light. Gentle. Warm. “Take this. When you feel most alone. Look at it. Remember that someone gave you light. That someone sat with your fear instead of fleeing it. That you were seen.”

Argos' words trailed as he stepped toward me. We watched as Alassandra tilted her head back, and a loud scream escaped her lips; she threw the white ball of light forward into the darkness, flicking it toward the shadows. Our eyes were drawn to the massive ball of light that was expanding around us. We had no choice but to cover our eyes as the light was so intense that we were completely blinded by it. Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and everything felt as if it was spinning. Suddenly, a loud growl was heard. I opened my eyes to find we were no longer in the manor but in the woods just outside the Valer dorm.

BOOK 3: THE HEART OF THE HAUNTER If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them take the light behind your eyes I’ve failed and lost this fight Never fade in the dark Just remember you will always burn as bright —My Chemical Romance, The Light Behind Your Eyes * * Too Busy to Call

And the wick on that candle will never be the same again; it will be black, some of it burned away forever. It can be lit again, but after another breath, there’s even less of it than there was before. Over and over again that light would be blown out till there is nothing left. I’m that candle. I’m at the end, and with just one more breath I will be gone. There will be nothing left of me. There’s no coming back after that. I’m alone and I’m on my last breath. But then I look at Blake and he makes me want to try to find that light again.

Not when home is on the other side, waiting with a half-pipe and a coyote grin. The light swallows us. And in the real world, her fingers twitch against mine. The crown flares bright. She’s coming. I know it. There’s hope in every spark. She’s OK. She’s fighting. And when she wakes… We’ll ride the storm together. Forever and one more day. **To be continued…** (The barrier cracks. The storm rises.)

Thomas said, “Open them slowly.” My heart hammered against my chest. I opened my eyes slowly, and the light I hadn’t seen in over a decade flooded my vision. I could see blurry silhouettes shifting in front of me. I could see a window. I could see the flowers. I could see the sunlight, trees, and birds outside the window. I could see them all. “I can see… Dr. Thomas, Julian, I can see!” This was a moment I had waited over a decade for. Dr. Thomas hurriedly said, “You mustn’t cry. Your eyes cannot handle any irritation right now.”
