To Anyone Who Thinks I'm Crazy Part XI

Breaking through the surface of the boiling water,
I see God.
He's crying.
Gods aren't supposed to cry.
What the ...Hell.
It can't be God.
God isn't here.
It's a trick.
But I feel fine.
No pain...Yet.
No one's laughing in my ears.
Suddenly I feel gentle hands pull me free.
I'm no longer binded to the Devil.
I've been given a second chance.
Free.
Laying naked in the streets.
I look to the sky.
Rain splatters onto my steaming skin,
cooling and refreshing,
wiping away the sins of my past.
Nausea wracks at my mind.
Nowhere to go,
nowhere to turn.
Alone in the alleyways of my old town.
I see familiar faces,
but do they see me?
Kyshya and Krista,
walking down the streets.
They look sad.
I wonder.
A set of clothes appear at my side.
Quickly dressing,
I run out to them.
They look as if they've seen a ghost.
"What? It's me?
Don't you love me, anymore?"
tears.
"W-we just buried you!?"
Krista starts shaking.
"Is it really you?"
Kish, how good to see you!
"YES!"
"how is it you're alive!?"
Krista, darling, I love you.
"I was being drowned in lava,
down in hell,
when I was suddenly taken away,
and given a second chance.
It was horrible."
Cries.
In the arms of my...
there's no word to describe how much I love these women.
"We'll take care of you."
In unison.
I turn as a truck passes,
honking its horn.
Visions of Hell make me flinch,
Scream.
"What is it?"
Kyshya, I love you too.
"Don't make me go back!"
I fall to my knees.
I can still feel ghosts of the pain.
"Honey, you look like crap."
Thanks, K-Sta.
"I may be dead, but I'm still pretty."
Laugh.
My first laugh as a Reborn.
"Are you hungry?"
"Starving."
Grumble grumble.
As they feed my completely empty stomach,
Visions of Hell are stronger than ever.
They had fed me hot coals,
bleach,
Draino,
oil,
gas,
nitrogen,
and things I can't even describe.
Hell is a place no one should have to go to.
I wish I could say that things like that in...
Hell...
Never happened to anyone.
But people feel it everyday down there.
Love,
Mars Grace, Reborn
