I was born to humble parents, earning a modest living.Farmers they were, the smell of the corn fields is the only thing I can remember of what they once were. It began when I reached the age of 15, it's when the visions started happening. Flash by flash headache to another, I couldnt stop having them until they became too much- I soon came to realisation that when I was in this "dream-like" state, only my mind was. But who was controlling the body? I started questioning myself if there's something wrong with me,my mind and body, 2 seprerate things, if only I knew what would have come of it.It grew apparent to my parents I wasn't exactly all there, they decided to send me away, which by far was the most idiotic thing to do. They sent me to a place for "special" children, but honestly, it was bunch- of bloody weirdos.
I couldn't stand them, until it happened, as my mind shifted from conscious to unconscious something else awoken. Living through my own eyes as I see my hands wrap around the other children's throat, as their muffled screams filled my head, it was pointless. I watched the life go out of their eyes, the warmth, the melanin in their blood stopping as their skin turns pale. I just sit there, in my own head as my body runs and runs, without no end I felt my mind slipping, gaining consciousness of my own body. I thought about ending it right there, knife to the hands which kill, which has spilt blood, but the darkness of my mind faded away, a bright light from the sky above approached me, the earth rumbled, it's light glistened. A voice spoke to me, filled with peace, "Ethereal, harken unto my words" It knew my name- it felt as if his voice was home, he spoke of grace, forgiveness for a favor, to be his fist of god. I reached to the sky, crying out for help, someone's living in my house, the man peered into my mind, his grace touched my heart as I fell asleep by his warmth.
I awoke a few hours later but this time, I felt different- my mind like a sanctuary. A voice called out to me from behind "you must be Ethereal" I turn around to see a man in all black has called out to me. "I am" I say with a pugnacious mind, with my stance ready he tells me to calm down, that he is here to help me. I ask him "help me with what?" But he looked at me and said "all will be revealed, follow me…"
