    About this ebook

    God.
    Please make it easy. For me.
    For us.
    Amen.
    He knocks softly.
    "Drew? Bro?" He walks in. Drew was hunched on the floor. Right in front of the wall.
    He had his face covered with both hands. The reason the sound was muffled.
    The uncontrollable sobs.
    Peter-John is not sure what is going on. He is not sure what he should do.
    But as he walks closer, Drew gets up. He turns and walks into Peter-John. Pulling him in.
    Puts his right hand behind Peter-John's head. Gently.
    Puts his head against his head and neck. His left hand around his back.
    He sobs more.
    Softly.
    Peter-John puts his arms around him. They remain like this.
    Peter-John focusses on his breathing. Slow breathes in.
    Slow breathes out.
    Peace upon the Messenger. Peace upon the Messenger. Peace upon the Messenger.
    Peace upon the Messenger of Love. Peace upon the Messenger of God.

      The After

      Jun 10, 2023

      He is sitting opposite me, staring blankly like a dead fish. Stone eyes. Cobalt and lifeless. Pale gray skin, dripping scales. I imagine him hauled out of the water and dumped on the riverbank, gasping for breath. Just as he deserves. I only agreed t
