Soul Eater The End Surprise Surprise < WildBob >

Still contemplating my good fortune, I went out back by my new fire pit and started a fire. I had plenty of firewood since I used a woodstove to heat my cabin. I sat down near the fire and just stared into it. Sitting with my stick in my hand I just kept going over the events of the past few days that I could remember. Over and over, yet it still made no sense. I was still staring into the fire and holding my stick when I heard a voice.

I looked around, but already knew that the voice was located inside my head. If I stared into the fire and listened very carefully, I could hear what it was saying.

I could hear it, but my rational self didn’t believe what I was hearing. The voice was telling me that it was a lesser god and that I was the chosen one to start a new religion. This god believed in rewarding his convert in this life, you didn’t have to wait until you died to go to heaven, you could have heaven right hear on earth. I just had to listen to the voice in my head and I could have everything that I always wanted.

First I needed to put my grass skirt back on and my headdress. These things seemed a little silly but I though I might as well play along. Then the voices had me start dancing around the fire pit chanting. Once again I though that I might as well play along. He told me that he only wanted to eat a little bit of my soul and that seemed like a fair exchange for all the wealth that he had brought me. I though that sounded like a fair trade.I felt as though I was in a trance. I felt euphoric.

I didn’t hear the sheriffs car pull into my driveway. He called for backup when he saw me dancing around the fire pit. Honest Dr. that’s the whole story. I really don’t remember anything else. I don’t know how my wife died. Honest, I’ve told you the whole truth. Can you take this straight jacket off me now?

I won't tell people when the voices speak to me....
