Lullaby

i could hear myself screaming……no-one else could.no-one could hear what i heard, i wouldn’t wish that upon anyone.but why, why was i cursed with this wretched gift. a female voice only speaking to me, me,alone at my window she spoke sweet words of hatred i couldnt understand. my window is three stories up, unreachable to any mortal without me noticing. what had i done?

why did she come to me? am i to deliver some message to the mortal population?who knows i still don’t. it started when i stood up to change for bed, i was struck by a low humm followed by a loud ringing in my ears. Dazed i stood in confusion then she spoke, her voice was sweet and angelic but her words were filled with hatred but i was mesmerised. i couldnt make out all of her words, but what i did make out sent a chill down my spine. then all at once multiple voices answered her, a crowd of voices chanting and trying to resolve their disagreements. in the dark of my room a light , a bright white light glaring at me, blinding me, rendering me unconsciousness. But just as i slipped into unconsciousness i felt her cradle me in her arms rocking me to sleep, humming me a lullaby as if i were a child. Sleep came and paid a welcome visit my vision of her shattered by my alarm clock, i looked around i was lying on my floor and there was a sweet smell in the air. i doubt that will be the last of her visits, at least i hope not.
