an apology to my fictitious audience
Hello ladies and gentelmen.
Id like to take this time to apologize for my neglect and absence. And to my co-writer i sincerely apologize for lack of input on our current attempt at a new story for i have been nose deep in re-routing my knowledge of my career. I've had to dig hard and dig deep to stay in the game. Some would call this baptism by fire and it may be that, but just know this my pretend/ invisible audience who'll hopefully really exist out there someday. That i am having the time of my life and am only seeking to better myself in my field of study. To give you an example as to what exactly it is that i've had my nose buried in lately ill direct you to this site which acts as a users guide to part of what i do http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/150R1/ . If you look at this link youll understand why i've been so preoccupied recently.

Fight
Though the weather outside is freezing and the state has turned to ice but I am here burning, not because I am inside where it is toasty, rather my heat comes from deep inside me where hellfire burns. I am tortured by the sins of my past but winds come in a redemptive wave, picking me up off my feet and sweeping me to greater ground. I am weak, this I do not deny but where my body has failed me, and where my mind ceases to travel, my soul shall press on. I will grow stronger by leaps and by bounds. The demons that plague me, those vile serpents clinging to the deepest regions of flesh, coiled around arthritic bones, have awaken thunder, wrathful, and waged battle immortal against the strongest of the strong. The body is now and so is the mind with it but the soul is immortal, with a fierce resolution. What will is this that has the power to defy God? And the Antichrist whose handsome smile parades amongst the hosts of a thousands demon souls, secretly scowls, trembling in fear of this soul. A battle this way comes. The march of Gog and Magog shakes the earth. Where is Gia to hide? As man has authority over man and binds him with barbwire words of 'can't' and 'won't', the Father gives true authority and frees man with the power of 'can' and 'will'. What have you Satan over us? For we can do what no angel, fallen or otherwise, can, that is, become like God! Envy us for we are more powerful than you! Still this fire deep inside me burns. It devours my flesh, it turns my mind to ash, but it does not destroy my soul for it is my soul! Now I turn to the world and to the armies of Gog and Magog and warn that if any man or demon should stand in defiance before me then he shall be incinerated by the will of my soul!

Mind Rot 2
The child hovers close, her skin has peeled revealing the soft pink meat beneath and I...I sit in a pool of blood belonging to the two lovers I murdered. My eyes a glaze, empty, ravaged by rage and envy. She laughs at me. Her tiny hands covering her mouth, her shoulders bouncing.
Nothing has changed.
I don't respond. My body is limp against the side of a bed. The bed, now soaked in a thick crimson sauce, forever stained by my actions. In this bed only moments ago there had been two souls uniting passionately, violently, now these souls are no more and the bodily casing--that infinitely divisible box of sin-- lies upon the floor, motionless, passionless.
Nothing has changed.
Her words bore there way into my skull. The little girl, that demon, says the only thing I know but wish to deny. Everything has changed and deep inside my soul I know that everything is the same. Death has not freed me from my sins but has instead enslaved me forever to live out this same hell life after every goddamn life.
The child reaches out her hand as if to help me up. To this I am skeptical, does she mean to help me? I spring upon the girl grasping her head in my hands. With pressure and with pride I twist. Vividly I remember there is a crunch, resistance, then a snap. Beneath the skin of my fingertips I can feel her neck break. Still I feel the vibration of bone bending to my wrathful will. She drops against me, her weight (though she can't be more than ninety pounds) feels like a truck upon me. I push her away catching a glimpse of her face as she falls to the ground. She is smiling.
