Eye See You: The Last Days of Janelle pt. 4

He turns to me.
His face is creased with age, his eyes warm, worried.

“How can I help you, my child?”

He walks towards me, kneels down next to me, wipes tears from my eyes.
I beg him to save me, to rescue me from a fate I have no control over.

“Only God controls our fate.”

God was not the Unknown Sender.
God did not control my fate.  The Unknown Sender did. 

I beg him to remove the evil from me, the evil that follows me, no matter what I do. 
The evil is inside me. 

“The evil is inside all of us, my child.”

Then rip it out!
I’m screaming at him, clutching at the long, black robe. 

Rip it from me, and give me another chance.
