                              Life Through Thoughts

           

            Low was a kid who lived in New York, New York. He was raised as an African American male in an unhealthy life style. His Mother was the block and his father was the streets. They birthed a malicious tyrant who had eye’s has an angel. On the other hand his intentions came from a different angle.  On the inside his heart and internal organs were a gift by hell. His smile trusting but his words worth noting. He saw the world as Hitler to his Germany, and the people only birthed for his genocide. Low only had enemies; no one trusted him because of his infamous reputation. He would steal from family, saw the world only for riches, and killed any man for less then their life was worth. His mind filled with envy, heart pure of greed.

            One day Low was enjoying his favorite hobby, which was attending a local dogfight. When he received a phone call from his girlfriend Stephanie. She felt as if Low was an angel sent by God to guide her to paradise. So she looked pasted his twisted mind set and saw him as a gift wrapped in a curse. Low answered the phone with haste “What’s up girl I haven’t heard from you all day how you feel.” Low saw his girlfriend as a symbol for sex and noting more. When she called he always knew that heaven was on its way. On this phone call he wasn’t going to be so lucky he would only be disgusted by the words she utters. Stephanie shaking on the other end of the phone shakes with fear as if she had seconds to live. Tears cascading down her face, her hand clutching her breast as if her heart would leap from her chest. Her clothes lay stretched and torn on her bedspread. Low is upset his eyebrows touching his brown eyes a vain appears in the corner of his head. Showing how flustered he is and he hissed at her just because she was too frantic. So he replies “Woman if you don’t speak I will place my “Old Man” against your temple and pull slow.  His slang and the thought of the last sound she hears being a bang has her shout “Your going to be a father!” Low’s eyes opens wider then a newborn child being brought into the world. He snaps at Stephanie “What are you talking about that thing ain’t mine get rid of it”. She’s shocked torn apart her emotions and feelings going wild. A mother having to choose between her unborn child and a wicked man she loves. For once she gets a glimpse at the man in the mirror and doesn’t bite her tongue when she speaks. She says angrily “ Are you God? Did you give mankind life? Did you shape the mountains, and fill the sea with clear blue water for life to thrive? Did you breathe life into the embryo growing in my stomach? If you answered no to all of these things. You can bend over backwards in the mirror, and see what that makes you.” Low upset, lost for words and feels demoralized. He feels as if the woman who loved him has castrated him, he has no way out. So he hangs up the phone.

            He flees the scene of the animal’s physical wounding each other to escape into darkness. To where he wants him. Low reaches in-between his pants and under wear to pull out a 45 Sheppard. Thoughts racing, heart pacing, his finger itching to end two lives tonight. Then he realized he couldn’t take her life how could he when he was a sloppy shot. Also when he was on his third strike barley even eighteen. He couldn’t back out he had to redeem his pride bring honor back to his self-wealth. Broken between jail and embarrassment he hears “Andrew Carter are you in need of my help?” Low wipes the sweat from his face and cocks back his weapon. Click clack, then Low shouts “ YO! I don’t care who you think you ‘be’ calling me by my government! But you wont live to say that name to anyone else!” BANG BANG BANG! Low unloads a whole clip into the shadows not knowing if he missed or killed his so thought aggressor. The barrel of the gun emotes smoke as a cigar when it’s lit to be smoked. Shells lay on the ground as if they died all used and purpose fulfilled. Then he sees all fifteen of his bullets roll back to him. He looks up not freighted but curious. Then he sees a bright read foot and black pants tight to the mysterious man body. He then notices a torso that is red as flames and muscles bigger then any mans that he has ever seen. Then he sees the head long black hair ears as long as elves. His bottom row of teeth comes out of his mouth going upward. His skin just as red as his chest. Horns that come from his forehead traveling up and in-between the horns burns souls dark red. His eyes purple to draw a mindless fool towards him to make a deal to die for. This mysterious man has one unworldlier feature a tail long enough to wrap around the world at least three times. Wings as long as the twin towers pillars towering over the world its self. The man walks towards Low and bows to say “My name is Lucifer. You may call me the ruler of the under world, the king of death the dissolver of flesh. The one who brings my demons from my hell and place them into random men’s semen. Such as you so the world can see it’s near future. I am Satan or the devil”. He rises with a grin and says, “I notice you have a problem at hand and I can help you”. Low was happy heart rises with joy ready to give anything to make his issues go away. So Low replies “What is that Demon.”  Lucifer says with a grin from cheek to cheek “ Give me your soul and you will have the power to turn the world inside out.” Low is ready to give up his very being for power and wealth “ I want it give it to me show me how to me. I need this man. I must turn that witch and her child into ashes that only god can only recognize”. The devil looking up ironically shaking his head. Grants Low his Power just with a snap of his finger.

            Low emerges from his new transformation new, more powerful. He has the speed faster then a cheetah the might of over hundred men. The devil points up the street and says, “ GO! To your destiny so I may retrieve mine boy. Low ran to his soon to be dead girl friends house and puts his hand up. Then makes a fist, he rips apart the front part of her home into noting but sawdust. She falls to the floor in amazement at the father of her child. His skin pale his hair to his shoulders, his eyes rips your soul from its seams only just from a glance. She new it was him because of his grin and the thirst in his eyes for her blood. He grabs her throat an picks her up with his finger. He touches her belly only to burn the life she holds to death. Low smiles and says “ I burn our child to life I only want to make it hot so it can come out quicker. I only want to see its face before I turn you both into ash.” He throws her into what’s left of the couch and snaps his fingers. She felt as if flames traveled from her toes down to the depths of her soul. Then Low drops her and runs to take her life and his unborn child. She pleads franticly “ Low no don’t do this I’m sorry I love you. I wont speak up to you again. Then he says very uncompassionate “ Hell knows no bounds of mercy.” The he comes a quarter of an inch to his belly he can taste her death between his teeth then time freezes and so does Low.  The devil appears behind Stephanie and says, “Times up I want my soul”. Low unable to speak but on the inside feels cheated betrayed and broken. Lucifer comes to his ear to whisper, “ What would’ve been smarter was to leave her and her child all alone and you would have your soul. It’s funny how you humans live for the moment and not for the future. And id careless about telling you in advance because I wouldn’t have this.” He pulls his soul from his chest. Then his Lows body turns to ash and the devil puts Lows soul with the rest in the dark red fire that burns with the corrupted undead believers.
