This Weight I Carry

By Albert Oon

Your sins affect more than your soul. Now, your sins decay your body, make it burn, or they can even transform you into a monster. Julianna and Grayson are two sinners who are doing penance for their past sins by helping out others and the Church by defending the innocent from the monstrous sinners who refuse to repent, but their past sins will come back to haunt them in more than one major way.

Chapter 1 – Just Punishment

It’s just another normal day in the world as a young boy sneaks into a decrepit store about to close for some food. He thinks about stealing an apple and moves his hand back and forth until he gives into temptation and takes it. Hearing someone coming his way, the boy finds his way back out and hides in an alleyway. Eager to eat, the boy licks his lips, but as he goes in for a bite, the apple turns rotten. As he drops the apple, his hands and then his arms turn rotten as well. He quickly looks around for something he could use to cover his rotten arms until someone catches sight of him in the alleyway.
