    {CW : Drug Use, Language }The scintillating light bathed my irises. It was so bright I felt nauseous. My mind combed through the brightness, tongues of orange and red flickered and danced. I had read of the Ophanim in the bible during Sunday School; wheels of fiery spinning Cherubim and Seraphim, all seeing eyes that bore straight through the soul of humanity. The angels were coming into focus. Chills washed over me and vertigo gripped my body. Then the light disappeared. I sucked in a sudden ragged breath.

    A lesson for life

    A lesson for life I remember. Somewhere deep inside my being I had condemned myself to always remembering the following event. I was shamed, humiliated and marked for life by the sight of a family's eyes glaring at me with such anger like the red hot coals of the blacwww.onedoor.ccksmith’s fire. As one gets older the memory tends to fade, it also becomes very selective, but an event that deeply touched your feelings always seems constantly to be present like a drip of water you cannot turn off.
