I had this idea a couple days ago. A character for maybe something, maybe nothing. Unrelated to anything else I have done. I finally had a burst of anti-'depression' and anti-hiatus and began to pose some stuff that I will post in the coming days. I have also been taking the time out to practice multiple editing techniques. Subtle but effect, I hope.
Anyhow, The Archangel:
I see the good, and the evil of all people.
I must make the choice of 'who lives' and 'who dies'. Such power... does not come without a price: For every soul I save, I damn my own. I endure all the mental and physical torture a soul is inflicted.
Susan, I have done many terrible things in this world... You are the one good thing I brought into it. I plead that He shows mercy on you, but there are rules... restrictions. I cannot save those I love. Not even my own daughter.
I will live until my price is repaid. I may live for two more years, or perhaps two hundred more. It is impossible to be certain.
It is my gift... and my curse, for a lifetime of sin.
When I stand before Him again; I will be judged... again. And when that day comes, I hope you see I am truly sorry.
I love you, Susan.
I'll love you forever.
