[MF] a dream I had converted I to a short story

Being a good person isn't always the easiest thing to do. However, if you can be the good, the change you want to see in the world.. you can move mountains. But sometimes we slip..

This is the story of the day I slipped. Of how I ended up in the bad place. People had always known me as the nice one, the helpful one, until now..

It was just another day and I'm walking to the school house. It's been awhile since I've seen you ironically as I step into my office there you are unexpectedly rolling around the the floor giggling and laughing. I shake my head and immediately turn around, I walk down the hallway and make a turn into a friends office where I sit and let out a very long overdue sigh. We talk for a bit and she reminds me that I have to be kind, she jokes that don't want to end up in the bad place. As the first bell rings I make my way upstairs and catch you out of the corner of my eye. You look so uncomfortable, why is he touching you? Trying to pick you up? I know that man.. I know what he did. You run out of the room tears streaming down your face then you see me and stop in your tracks and look at me with those sorrow filled eyes.. As you struggle to get your words out you start blaming me.. asking why I wasn't there to do anything. I don't say anything but think to myself "I'm not that person anymore" .. do you remember those words? Because I do.. they've been etched into my memory.. You push past me and leave.. I make my way to class and sit down.. but for some reason I can't focus.. Nothing seems to make sense. Things are blurry and the only thing on my mind is you. Eventually the class ends.. and it's time for me to eat.. I head down to my office.. what is Ron doing here.. why are his feet on my desk.. he looks at me and ask if I know what happened.. I shake my head no. He tells me of how you've been continually harassed, How it's escalated.. Ron tells me that the boy hit you earlier today.. I can feel something inside me change... Ron starts blaming me as I walk out the my office. Following behind me and threatening me. I continue to make my way towards the office that him and his friends are in.. I know what happens if I do this.. I go to the bad place.. destined to spend the rest of my damned life. Even if my cause is just. I walk in the door and he is leaning on the desk talking.. we make eye contact.. we both know who the other is, but we have never exchanged words, and this afternoon I don't plan to I did not plan to start now. In a second I'm face to face with him. My right fist finds his jaw knocking him backwards and immediately starting the flow of blood. He lunges at me after stumbling backwards but it's too late for him.. I pick him up by his Clothes and throw him across the room into the corner of the wall, I hear vertebrae break... he's lying on the ground now.. breathing heavy and feet twitching. I walk over to him and grab him by the collar, pulling his face off the ground and continue to strike it until he becomes limp.

Funny thing about releasing ones anger.. it triggers something inside others. Causing a frenzy to ensue. And eventually it takes control, enveloping everyone into chaos.

His body begins to fade.. everyone around knows where he is going. Covered in blood I begin to walk to the corridor and find the stairs. Got to clear my head i think, need to relax.. release the anger that has consumed me. I climb higher and higher, I make it to the top and lean against the railing and close my eyes. Forgetting for a moment I have blood all over my hands I go to wipe the sweat from my brow and end up smearing blood onto my face. I begin to slow my breathing and as the adrenaline subsides I can begin to think clearly. I know my consequences for my actions, and for someone who has always been the nice one to release so much anger at once I know it can't be good.. I hear the approaching of footsteps.. it's Ron.. apparently I had started an all out brawl after I left. True emotions came to light and people instead of talking with their words began using whatever they could pick up. Ron looks at me.. I can feel his gaze.. I look into his eyes and realize the darkness has taken him.. as he walks towards me he tells me how he was jealous of me.. jealous that I was able to be with such a women of your stature.. I know his intentions. And I don't stop him... I'm falling now... The world begins to fade around me. After falling into railing after railing I feel the impact of the ground and am paralyzed with agonizing Pain.. my breathing slows and so does my heart rate until it stops completely.. then I awake in the bad place.. my eyes won't open yet but I can feel the hot dirt im laying on..it's so hot here.. even when the breeze blows there's no relief.. the gravity weighs you down so much here.. I can feel it taking its toll. As I attempt to stand I force my eyes open.. I'm right next to a desk.. in front of the desk is chairs filled with people. My eyes go back to the desk and it's one of my old professors. I Do my best to stand and go greet her. She smiles as she sees me then frowns and ask how I ended up here. I sigh and tell her what happened and she scolds me. I ask her what she is doing in a place like this.. and as the saint she is she says that somebody had to in process all the souls that come through. And she volunteered. As much as this place takes a toll on the weary mind of a damned soul she offered to spend the rest of eternity here to help others. Even in the afterlife she is still a saint. She explains that she hasn't been able to do her job on the account that her computer has been acting up so the row of people sitting in chairs in front of her desk are all waiting to be processed. I offer to take a look at her computer, She smiles and accepts my offer. Upon examination of the computer I tinker with it the best I can and it seems to be running much more effectively. After helping my old professor a small crack on my palm appears and little beams of light begin to shine through. She sees this and immediately grabs my hand to examine it. She traces it with her fingers and we both look up at each other. She says very sternly.. I have never seen this before.. it turns out.. it's not too late for you.

Chapter 2 Caged

Dumbfounded and taken back by this I ask what she means by it's not too late for me? She says the crack in your palm.. it's the good light shining through. I didn't think it was possible after somebody was condemned I don't know what this means but.. maybe there's a chance you could change your fate.. she ask me to take a seat and I nod and walk over to an empty chair away from the masses that have already been seated waiting to be processed in. I trace the crack in my palm and wonder how this could happen. After my actions and taking a life I shouldn't have any sort of hope to change my situation.. but yet here it is.. as my old professor begins processing people I begin to look around Examining my new home. Behind my old professor lies a slope that seems to climb miles and miles towards a floating Peninsula that houses a huge tower of cells. They are just bars on all sides filled with people.. or what remains of them.. to my left and right there seems to just be wasteland.. dirt.. heat.. and behind me is what looks like a typical old western town.. as the heat beats down upon me I start to examine myself.. I'm still covered in blood.. I don't know if it's mine or his.. my clothes are in shreds. Shirt torn and jeans ripped.. I finally start to notice the people around me moving so slow due to the eminence amount of gravity here and realize that everyone must look like they did on the day they got sent here.. syringes stuck in arms.. gaping holes from gun shot wounds. Half missing faces from those who took their own life.. nooses still around necks.. a iron rod stuck in a mans skull.. my name is finally called and it snaps me out of my gaze. I stand and approach the desk...My old professor tells me I need to head to the top of the peninsula and get locked in a cage.. I nod and begin my journey to the steep slope.. it's so hard to move in this realm.. the gravity is intense and makes every part of your body hurt.. you're just dragging along trying to get where you're going.. you feel as if you stop walking you'll just be forced into the earth and live the rest of your life crushed.. pressed against the scorching hot dirt.. as I journey up the slope I notice the people in there.. or what seems to be the remains of people.. they've started to change.. some are black and purple..growing horns.. I can hear the snarls as i approach.. there are some demons there awaiting me.. ready to prod me with tridents until who knows when.. after walking for what seems like years my feet are bleeding.. I look behind me and realize my foot steps have become just bloody footprints in the sand.. how long did it take me to reach the top.. I thought I only just got here.. as I am thrown into a cage I realize now what type of torture was In store for me.. my mind is instantly filled with thoughts of you.. I can do nothing but see your face.. the last thing I wanted.. I'm reliving it all.. every memory.. every encounter.. over and over and over again.. the gravity feels like it's gotten worse.. I fall to my knees and they are instantly scorched by the hot metal of the cage.. I try to raise my arms and grab the bars to help myself up.. bad idea.. they are burned badly .. stuck on my knees and hands on the bars with nothing but you on my mind and this burning pain.. the only thing I can do is scream.. I try to grab ahold of my thoughts and keep my sanity.. something.. anything I can think of but the only thing I can think of is you.. of the life I used to have.. and Then i realize what I can do. If I can only think of you then I'll use this thought.. knowing that he can't hurt you again.. it brings a smile to my face.. and with that I'm able to stand.. the gravity has less of an effect but it's still strong. I let go of the bars and am on my feet.. the light from the crack in my palm begins to grow.. eyes closed thinking hard I begin to meditate. Trying to push you out of my mind but it's no use in these cages. I'm forced to think of you..

In life we have these moments that we find ourselves in which everything falls into place and makes sense. Our mind is free from the darkness and our fears are quelled as we are overcome with peace. And sometimes one moment of clarity is all it takes to change your world. Because In that moment we learn our truest desires.

Chapter 3. The moment of clarity.

Stuck in this cage.. It's been a long time now.. long for even the standards of living here in this realm. I've realized that it's just one long day here.. the sun never sets and the heat is relentless. Surrounded by these walls of bars and the only thing I have to hear is the screams of those succumbing to the madness inside these cages. I think I've grown my horns.. what a painful process that was..but my skin hasn't changed..or at least from what I can see. What clever torture this is.. designed for the hearts greatest desire. Spiraling you into an emotional turmoil that drives you deeper and deeper into despair. My body is slowly giving up.. I fall to my knees.. feeling the burning sensation again I scream. Is this it? Is the madness finally taking control? Is this the definition of insanity? When your thoughts are your own worst enemy. Have I finally succumb to the destiny that I've made for myself.. all for you.. my body drifts forward and the left side of my face leans against the bars. I feel it searing my flesh and the left horn I've grown getting so very hot.. but in that moment of pain it brings me a moment of clarity and I have my old professors voice in my head..change my fate.. my eyes begin to glow.. I'm not myself.. something's taken over me. I stand to my feet.. the gravity no longer has a hold on me.. I levitate in my cage and unleash a snarl that frightens even the beast guarding me. I'm setting myself free. I grab the bars that surround me and even though it burns my flesh I bend them to my whim. I float out of my cage and dispatch the guards who put me in this prison. Finally my mind is free.. but so many voices begin to fill my head.. it's them.. in the cages..I can hear their thoughts.. the torture of which I sat through for so long now amplified by thousands.. My feet touch the ground and I can feel them burning but it doesn't phase me. I sit on the ground and cross my legs.. the weight of this realm is immense but I know I can take it.. I have to.. Meditating I try my hardest to reach out to them. To calm their minds.. for I can not take them out of the cages yet. This place has taken ahold of them.. no longer human just a beast inside waiting to get out and wreak havoc on those still alive.. if you can call this living. One by one the beast inside slowly begin to settle.. they begin to change back to their former selves.. still bloody and worn but free from their beast form. I stand and take a deep breath, Then with a thunderous roar I release them from their prisons. Slowly struggling they make their way in front of me. Out of the cages they come. The thousands of them. Deserving of another chance up there with the living we are not.. but maybe a different place other than the bad place.. for we will always be burdened with the sins we've committed. My body is riddled with cracks now. Beams of a golden light shimmering through them all. But it's not over.. there's still the final fall.

Chapter 4 The portal

The story gets a little blurry.. and most of it's a faded memory now.. here I am talking to myself for company.. but.. I had a choice to make. And I chose to stay behind. I had lived my life. I had made my choice. I deserved for my soul to be damned. But if given the choice.. wouldn't you set others free so they could have a better life? Even at the cost of damning yourself forever? Not all would. Which is why some ended up here in the first place. Selfish desires fueling their livelihood.. Always choosing want over need. Becoming warped in entitlement and feeding the selfishness inside themselves. The cages we were locked made us become the monsters we were on the inside. But behind my old professor a bright purple portal had opened.. and a choice was made.. for those damned souls to finally have peace and rest. Even after the sins they have committed. For them to have been forgiven and be able to finally be at peace with themselves. But I had to stay behind. As I walked this deserted wasteland I found a ravine. To my surprise in a place like this. Running water with trees along each side.. but it was so far down there would be no way to get down.. as my toes hang over the edge i close my eyes. And for the first time in a long time I'm reminded of your face. What a surprise. I'm falling again.. the darkness is closing in. But it's getting cooler and I can hear the water rushing. I can feel the cool wind blowing again...
