It past
many years since I have stopped to count my work
experience in heaven. I can't even remember why I
became an Angel. I did something extremly good
and ... Hm, I guess it's something like that.
Anyway, this story shouldn't be about me, it
should be about him. However, some facts are
inevitable to mention. I have never learned to
enjoy in my work, no matter how important that
work was.
That's how it is this time. I thought
just another indispensable boring intervention
which is nothing else but a slaping shortsighted
solve, which are from the beggining flying in
front of their nose. So after that I have read
some pieces of information about his life somehow
everything changed. Something was telling me to
take over that case. Something was telling me it
had to be me. I had other obligations up there,
in the Heaven, but he, my case, gave no peace.
For nights I didn't sleep, trying to resolve my
opsession.
I was getting more and more closer,
wanted to get more further... But I couldn't
teoritate to neverending end. The old director
became impatience and ordered me to do the
inevitable and take off the Unsophisticated
nr.57004 (that's how Tim called my case) of the
already full list of "The one who Got
Lost" sometimes we do things we have to do,
but that's not so awful if we believe in things
we are doing. And me, I don't know if I have ever
believed enough.
And that was "eating"
me just like a flot of piranhas. The world of my
conscious I haven't constructed on the solid
ground and that's why they, the one I have been
working with, called me "The confused
Angel". They haven't accepted me as one of
the selected ones. But, what could they possibly
do against me, the favourite angel of "That
One Who can Do Anything" I'm still trying to
realize why he gives me such freedom, forgives
the unforgiven, permits me to follow the
intuition of hazarder which I smuggled to Heaven,
when I showed my human beings defectand
worthness, my weekness and braveness.

And
here am I again. On a mission. Now I know what I
was missing. I layed an ambush in a swan,
unlighted street. Trough this street every night
his shadow is walking. I have been watching him
for ten days already and he seems to be here very
weak. His brain is at this time very active,
which means that his conscous will do the halfth
of my work.
Here
he comes, ....
This
streached shadow is him. I hear him thinking,
thinking about coming to his wretched room as
soon as possible, rented, just his world, where
he receives the untruthful peace...
You came back again from a half way, just because
you felt the unreadyness of your being. He got
afraid by seing my shadow in the corner of the
demolished house. All around me was a shiny
light, which meant that "the Director"
was watching. Both of us?
- We know eachoter, don't we?
- Nno - he said without taking a breath. I
enjoyed to listen the wild beats of his
frightened heart. I miss that sound of beating.
The street was now shining, and the silence left
her territory.
Just he and me were watching each other, ready to
combine the Pate.
We have talked before, haven't we?
Where? When? Who are you?
By night, when the body sleeps, souls are going
for conversations. You self know how
"ungood" you are. Her face is no
excuse..
Maybe I exaggerated when I looked him so
critical, but when I feel fear around myself,
adrenoline gets me... and I get filled with
enthusiasm. I know, I know, I'm here to help, but
they are here to be not stupid. But, it's better
I tell him all this.
-She is just your...
-Enough!!! I told you not to mention her he
shouted in my direction.
-When ? if I remember well, few moments ago you
gave a statement about not remembering me ..What
you will. Your stuff. You are on a good way to
end up awful.
Then I saw his eyes. Realy, have we met before? I
remember this kind of conversation, but not the
person. And that his "Her" without end
keeps rotating in my head ... within me ...
around me ... And this light which is surrounding
me is becoming unberable. Uhh, I must keep
talking to him ... must ...
When our meeting becomes an end there still will
be two beginnings. It's on you to chose.
All this
is temptation which God prepared to be sure who
is going where.
While I was telling this I felt strange, if I
were listening, if someone else was telling this
to me. They set me up a dirty game. Again Jelouse
corrupt persons.
- God? - the Jerk said through his theeth - is it
really true He can do anything?
- Don't dare to ask - I shouted, not wanting to
reply on that and I expected him to continue our
conversation.
- You tell all this is a temptation He prepared.
It reminds me on a fucking video game.. for
insame!
While
the light was shining, now just a little bit, I
realized that he is telling about things I
shouldn't even think. But I have Think He is Me.
Me is We.
We..
We are the video game. Sad. Cruel and Cruel.
Cruel. I feel confused, unconscious and words are
dancing around Me. I'm loosing myself and I'm
loosing Him. Cruel. I have to finish the
assigment. He... Me. - I have to go back because
I don't want any more..
D A R K N E S S..pain is he, he is me, Me is we,
we are pain... pain...

How
long am I walking? I have never been here, but I
know where I'm going. I instantly feel that way.
This is the Bloo Cafe. Where do I know for Bloo
Cafe from? It doesn't matter anymore. That table
in dark is waiting for me. And two of them.
But ... that's my Jerk. I'm in front of him, but
he doesn't see me. I'm sitting down on the chear
he was sitting on, but we don't mind it. It
didn't disturb us. Not me, not him. I feel so
good in his body. I feel so good while I'm
watching him, watching, although I know that my
Director is watching us carefully.
I feel soo good.
