The Last Wish

I looked at her lovingly. Caressing her hair, I thought of the other ones. How they were all similar. How one would do anything when one knew the time had come. I was holy they knew that. In holy books though, I was portrayed as a creature of evil under the service of Satan. No I am not, I am God’s creation. The same God who had to destroy all others for His reign supreme. Some mortals knew that, but they were considered “heretics, blaspehemers, and witches” in the old times. Now they were simply “freaks” who were into occult.

I am an incubus, the spirit of a dead male man full of passion and love. All poets and writers whose talents were real became incubus if they could achieve the transformation. Who would guess that Marquis de Sade was one of them and so was Poe? We all had our own agendas and our own “styles”. We are not evil, in fact we are dispatched to give only pleasure no mortal can give to another. In holy books we are said “to pierce women with a blade of ice and maggots.” I laugh at it now, looking down at myself now, and seeing a very normal flesh and blood member. The length changes everytime depending on the woman i visit, but the genuine pleasure is not my member, it’s me and my presence. I have to be honest about my mission. We are dispatched to women who are alone and who know that they will die very soon. We are sent from God but we take our orders from Uriel the Harvester. Oh such a magnificient being he is. Such beauty coupled with dread for sinners. But the good only see the light, as sinners see only pain that embraces them. Oh yeah when we are sent to sinners, we are made of ice and maggots. And we hurt as they beg for salvation. And the salvation comes right after us, Harvester comes with his sickle and severes the damned soul from the body. For sinners we are pain, but for the good we are the beauty. And how interesting it is to see them…mortals in their last moments, as they snake under my body, in pleasure…I am their first sight of Heavens, and i am their last mortal wish. I look at my current assignment now. She is very beautiful in a mortal way. The way a woman’s lips curve in her own naturality is my sight of Heavens.I kiss her at the cheek as she wakes up and looks at me. “‘It is time we go now.” i say and she nods silently, she knows it is useless to scream or pound at my chest, she knows i am not natural and she knows that He is here in the very chamber with us. She stands up and goes to the refrigerator for a drink, i thank her telling that i do not drink anymore. The time should be now.She opens the fridge and takes out a big glass full of cold water. I hear her “gulps,” as she swallows. A few drops of water cascade down her little chin and then down her breasts. They respond to the cold water quickly, the magnificiently crafted human body…She does not see as some of the water pours down on the marble kitchen floor –she did want it in the kitchen and i obeyed willingly– and she starts walking towards me now, as happy as an adolescent girl, with cheeks blushed red. Oh what a sight she is, i love her as i do all my women. She loses her graceful balance and her feet desert her as her head lands on the marble floor in a very unnatural angle. I hear the damned “crack” as it is over. Tears down my cheek…And i see Him standing next to me, with his strong arms crossed. His wings made of pure Light do not move and he looks indifferently at her. His profile is so very beautiful i want to reach out and kiss him right there as i always want. He smiles then and turns to me, his ice blue eyes staring at me. His blond hair shines under some light i don’t know. He pats my shoulder in a brotherly gesture as he always does after the assignment. I tell him that i’ll go with them as i always do. We both look at her as she stands naked before us. “She is like an Angel maybe more than an Angel” i say and he smiles to us both. He takes out a folded cloth and hands it to her and she unfolds it. She wraps the cloak around her beautiful shape and takes his hand. I, jealously, raise my eyebrow and she smiles at me too,very sweet and ecstastc, and takes my hand. We rise and We go…Comments welcome and i hope you like it 🙂 (c)2001 ScorpionShard
