Keeper of the gift.
Human Speak:
It’s just me and my mom. Mom and I have been on the road for a while now. We never seem to stay long in one place. We’re homeless; some people call us tramps, street people, hobos. To me, the world is our home. Call us what you want… it doesn’t bother me. You see, I know that I have something really big to do soon and being homeless seems to fit.
Last week we ended up in this creepy town called Modos. It’s a strange place… it is like the sun and shadows are fighting each other. The shadows seem to grow each day. It’s weird, but its like I belong here. My mom isn’t sure if she likes it. She’s nervous and cries a lot. This preacher guy; “Father Abe” has taken us in at his church and given us a place to stay. He seems pretty nice but there is something about him that’s a little funny. He is like this town… shadows and sun in a fight. He has a helper named Lucia. I can’t figure her out at all. She creeps around in the shadows and stares at me a lot. I know mom doesn’t like her at all.
I like being here. I somehow know we are supposed to be here. Since we arrived I am finding out about all these things I can do. Last week I was hit by a truck. My mom said it should have killed me but it didn’t. Some said it was a miracle… or was it? I have also begun to read minds! I have a friend, Lilli, and she can read minds too. It’s cool because we “talk” about all sorts of things and nobody has a clue! I can also do a few other things but they seem to scare people. I can’t wait to show you! I guess not everybody likes my gifts, but I know that I am supposed to do these things, just like I am supposed to be in Modos.
Somehow I know that I have been picked. What’s the word… oh yeah…“chosen”. I don’t know how or why but I just know something’s coming soon. Maybe it has to do with the shadows and the light I see. Maybe it has to do with these cool powers I have. Some would say I have a destiny. My mom says I am her future. I don’t know why I have been chosen… I just have.
