#6 FLASH: The Black Inside Me (Continued)
Steven opened his eyes and quickly walked out of the room. He slowly and carefuly closed the door and continued down the hall towards his quarters. He opened the door and placed his keys on the table. As he did so he turned around and locked the deadbolt...
"What are you hiding?" The voice said.
Steven jumped and twirled around to spot Jack sitting on a chait with hsi feet propped up on the desk and a cigarette in his hands, "My goodness Jack. What are you trying to do to me!"
"Trying to clean out your soul mon ami." he said as he put his feet down and leaned foreward against this knees.
"When did you take up smoking."
"Why do you keep changing the subject?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You were hiding something back there."
"What makes you say that."
"The look you gave." he said as he stood up. He looked to his bookshelf and brought down the bible. He took a puff of the cigarette as he flipped through pages.
"I don't know what your talking about."
"HA! Deuteronomy 5:20 "Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour." he said slapping the book shut, "What are you hidding."
"Have you ever tried to figure out what that book said about smoking?"
"Don't change the subject old man!"
"Deuteronomy 5:16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
"I can see it in your eyes father." he said as he walked towards him.
"I do not know what you are talking about!"
"5:20! Spill it!"
"Get out of my house!"
"You have seen this before. What happened!"
"I swore I would never say!"
*Flash*
The ringing began again...
*Flash*
"I keep having reoccuring dreams. I walk into a room, hop onto a desk and stab a man in the back of the head, then again on the back. I have dreams of stabbing a childs hand, and also setting fire to a nuns desk. But teh killing, its me again. But now their turning waking. What happened!"
Steven closed his eyes and sighed, "you must not know."
"My god, what did I do!" he said.
"I did not bring you up to raise your voice in the house of god!"
"Apparently I did other things in the house of God! And that is what I am going to find out!"
"Get out now!"
"What have I done!"
Steven moved to open teh door when Jack suddenly ran up and slammed it shut, "Get out of my house!"
Jack locked teh door again and walked up to him pushing him back, "Why, because your scared? Is that what is wrong?"
"Don't you touche me!" he said as he backed away against the wall.
"Don't touch you! The fuck is that supposed to mean!" he suddenly winced as he grabbed his head...
*Flash*
The door slowly squeacked open...
*Flash*
"Don't you trust your own son! What the fuck is that about!" he said as he looked at him again
*Flash*
The ringing grew even louder...
*Flash*
"How dare you curse in the house of the lord..."
"Yea yea yea, Deuteronomy 5:11 thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. But that is not whats concerning me." he stopped and looked at his father, "Look into my eyes."
"No." he said turning away.
"God damnit!" he yelled as he grabbed hsi face and pried his eyes open and looked at them, "My god, what have I done. He grabbed his face and looked at him, "What happened. There is somethign more, somethign deeper."
"Number eight!"
Jack blinked his eyes and let him go...
