The Devil Wore A Brown Suit

Chapter eight

 Day three

I am still at the farm. I do not want to leave. Why can I not just stay here? I know I cannot stay here. There is so much to be done and as quickly as possible. I feel so connected here. This place feels like home.

 “This is your home Perdition.” I hear a voice speaking to me but I am not sure who it is.

 I am losing my mind. The void was hard on me. My mind keeps going back to it. I have spent my life not belonging anywhere. I do not belong in the underworld, I do not belong in the void, and I do not belong here. I feel lost. I am hurting.

 I want to talk to my father. I have so many questions for him. I want him to know I am okay and that I love him. I want him to know I understand why he killed Koko. I may not agree but I understand.

 Celestials deal with their problems so differently than normal people. I wonder if he is capable of forgiving me for leaving. I hope he understands I had no choice but to flee that hell.

 I will return to him someday but first I need to find my brother and my mother. I wish my father could help me. Get it together and get out of your head P.

Mayhem is coming. I hear his boots on the floor. The sound is familiar to me. I want to remember.

“Perdition, we need to go. We have located Ryan in a small town just a little north of here. Are you ready for a road trip?” he speaks softly to me.

 I could tell he was worried. I think every single person I have met is worried.

“I am ready. Let’s go!”I say as I jump up.  T

here is no sense in sitting here feeling sorry for me. I have a job to do. I remind myself who I am and I walk out the door to the truck.

Big orange is ready and waiting. Mayhem is waiting for me. I step up into big orange.

“Are we going to die today Mayhem?” I ask.

“Not today my lady. We are going to collect my brother and maybe yours.” He says.

 He smiles at me. That smile is amazing.
