The Watcher

Only my shadow weeping umbrella could keep me from looking at the heavens above. Exiled and punished to never look up. Never find hope or guidance for my ‘twisted’ ways. Although I am forced now to watch those lucky enough to ascend to a chaste palace of love. But that is where I offer them to play a sickly sweet game with me to test their bittersweet judgement. A man, a woman and finally a child is the story ill tell you.


A headstrong man who seemed to have a betraying aura showing more of a sheepish mind.

“Good sir,” I began “could you be ever so kind to assist me in finding the church?” he looked into my cloudy eyes baffled at my lack of flesh.

“You are by far the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Not even god would want you in one of his homes.”

“A shameful answer. Now I choose your trench coat as a punishment. Something I can show to your creator for a horrid response.” I wrap myself in and triple his memory waves into forgetting this unforgiving experience.


Next was a woman. Agile and confident in herself she let such a familiar cross sit on her chest.

“Good ma'am,” I began “could you be ever so kind as to assist me in finding the church?” she looked from my shoes to my face with complete disgust on her face.

“No. You seem like the kind to kidnap and hate. We couldn't want you there.”

“ More honest than the last. For that, I'll only take your beauty in the form of a blue butterfly.”

I yet again tampered with the mind, smiling at the fact I can already prove to banish me out of the all was a grave mistake.


Thirdly was a tricky child. One with a sour face and blond hair.

“Young sir,” I began “ could you be ever so kind to assist me in finding the church?”

“Sure. It's straight on from here sir. You look cool.” baffled by the response I smiled and made him forget this precious moment to me. Making him unaware of the bright future he’s just created for himself.


I walked to the church and inside its halls to be teleported upwards. I gave my newly possessed item and organism away and reminded them about how nice that boy was who didn't judge my questionable looks. When I left I found people to be nicer and nicer just like that boy making me wonder if my prejudiced thoughts on everyone brought me exactly as I expected. Now I only expect good and I get it. I ask the people who I know will be polite.
