| "They, mostly the church, want you to believe that she�s watching over you and he�s fighting her for your soul. You know what? You make your own heaven or hell, and neither one of them has anything to do with it. We just...watch. And every now and then they send me here to fuck with you all. So I get stuffed inside some silly girl and carted around for nine months, give or take. Let me tell you, it isn�t as grand as they would have you believe. I hate it here, it�s so pointless. Your existence means nothing in the scheme of things, but I won�t go into all of that, you wouldn�t understand anyway. Let me just say that there are places you go when you die, but Flux and Satan have nothing to do with them. You humans do that all by yourselves." "So in the end I come down, despite my arguments, and carry out whatever plan it is that I come up with to confuse the shit out of you people. The last time I was here, there was this whole group of people who just followed me around for years at a time, just because they believed I was some sign from their savior. That�s how this whole good/bad thing got started. After I got bored and went home those idiots even wrote a book about it. Left out damn near all the good parts though, but what can you expect from a group of undersexed miscreants. I don�t suppose they would have gotten very far with their religion thing if they told how their Jesus whored out his brothers and sisters to neighboring townships. But this time, things are going to go a little differently, and being that I like my new home with you, I don�t care how long I have to stay here." Jesus was humming again, and Fade knew that something bad was coming. He used to like music. Now it terrified him. How he missed the silence that he once had in his mind. How he missed his art as well. But Jesus has his own agenda, and Jesus gets what Jesus wants. So Fade walks down the street as Jesus blathers on about the injustices of his existence. It has been two years since Fade was alone. He was never a strong man to begin with, but he is broken now. In the beginning he had hopes that Jesus would move on, but now he knew that would never happen. When Jesus was done with him, there would be nothing left. Nothing of himself or the world he had once known. And Fade no longer cared. |
