Believed
“I believed.”
Believed-Beloved-Bellow
Stop it, Amy!
You’re always doing this
when you are nervous.
Why am I nervous?
I’m freaking out!
Graveyards do that
to people.
Wait! What? What!
How did I get here?
I don’t remember.
“I believed.”
Believed-Because-Before
Stop it, Amy!
It’s just a stone!
Means nothing!
Am I cold?
I’m trembling,
Am I hungry?
No? What do I feel?
Nothing. Pain. All.
This isn’t peaceful. At all!
“I believed.”
Believed-Beware-Bewitched
If I am dead, where is the Heaven?
If I’m alive, where is the outdoor?
Stop it, Amy!
What was I saying?
Before waking up in here.
I said that I believed.
Because someone asked me
what is the best thing I ever did,
during my life.
“I believed.”
“Continue to believe.”
And I was sent back.
