THE PURGE

For all who’ve fallen and given in to the flesh;
The very nature that sought to please you, destroyed you.
And for those who’ve sunken so deep to the depths,
The image on the outside failed to fool you.
Your true self is locked away somewhere within,
Look into the mirror of your heart and don’t give in.



The darkness was choking, stifling and her breathing grew deeper as her breaths became hard. She tried to speak but her voice was hoarse, making talking virtually impossible and screaming out of the question. She felt hot, cramped, but she couldn’t smell the smoke, she could only feel as the burning heat enveloped her body.

As it did, she could feel her flesh slowly singe away. There was no pain, just the lingering feel of death. And the smell; the stench of burning flesh filled her nostrils. She could sense as with each movement, her innocence was being stripped away.

Her heart raced faster and faster and she was sure it would burst any minute. The sweat trickled down her face as the heat of desire burned her skin, gnawing at her every will. The more she tried to control it, the sooner she lost control again. Until, she could no longer fight. Gradually, she began to fall weak, succumbing to the very desire that sought to destroy her, to control her very being.

She tried to move, to take herself away from this abomination. But the harder she struggled, the tighter the grip on her body. It was like walking into quick sand: the harder she fought to come out, the deeper she sank. Soon, she was completely submerged and covered in filth and grime. She tried to think good, happy thoughts to take her mind away from the searing pain and the feel of waste. But it was no use. Her mind, like her flesh, had already caved to submission.

She felt her last will give way as she finally let go. The sensation washed over her like the sea washing over the sand on a beach. It tickled her senses as it moved over her body. She had given in; after what seemed like an eternity of fighting. Now, she had nothing left to fight with; to fight for. It was all gone. Her innocence purged away like a demon expelled during an exorcism. There was nothing left.

And then, as swiftly as it had started, it stopped. There was stillness in the air and as she took a deep breath, she felt nothing. Numb. And for a brief second she was pleased: At peace with herself. It was a flashing moment of bliss, for it was soon over. And when it was gone, the deep feeling of shame settled in. She rolled into a ball on her side as she let the wave of shame wash over her. And soon, she fell asleep again.


_______________________________________________________________________________



She woke up with a start, eyes wide open and the sweat from her face trickling down unto her hair. Her breaths were deep and hollow and for a second she didn’t know where she was. Gradually, it all came back to her in pieces: The unbearable heat, the burning flesh, her throbbing skin and aching muscles.

As the realization of the dream she had just had settled in, she suddenly bolted from the bed, nearly knocking over the bedside lamp. She glanced around her in a drunken-like haze and got up, running a quick hand over her body. She was fine – at least from all indications.

She crawled back into bed and tried to go to sleep once more but her eyes were wide open. She felt sleepy, but she couldn’t seem to get her eyes to close. She picked up the alarm clock on the bedside table and checked the time; it was 5:30 am. She placed the clock back and slowly, pushed her duvet to the side of the bed.

She was about to stand up when she felt something moist between her legs. Puzzled, she slowly sat up and glanced down at her legs, and in the darkness saw a pool of thick liquid on her bed. Fearfully, she stretched out a hand and touched the liquid with the tip of her middle finger; it felt warm. She brought her palm closer to her face and through a tiny ray of morning light peeking out of her bedroom window, she saw it clearly; blood.

She let out a chilling scream and tried to move. But she couldn’t feel her body. She began to feel faint and soon passed out.
