The house of madness

Chapter fourteen: always.

Whenever Marvelo finally left Tom dank backward into his throne, still shaking violently. He took a breath and closed his eyes for a fraction of a second. Or so he thought….

Tom was in a meadow. The rising sun shone its golden rays on the flowers making them shine. A woman was suddenly in front of him. Her long golden blonde hair swirled around her face like a glossy curtain. Her eyes were a bright blue. “Tom! Come dance with me!” She said, her face lighting up like a ray of sun. She took him by the hands and stared deeply into his eyes. Tom gazed into her eyes. They were so blue and as deep as the ocean, they held so much love and patience. She giggled and then they spun through the meadow. For once in forever Tom cast away any worries or anger. All he could think of or focus on was her. The woman he loved. The woman he missed. They spun the through the meadow, through the blossoming flowers, through the clover. It lasted for what felt like forever until they paused in a bed of roses. “I miss you.” Tom said. The woman reached out and traced his lips with her finger. “Tom, I miss you too but I never left you.” She said. Tom gripped her hand desperately. “Please…don’t leave me!” He begged. She giggled. “Oh Tom, you’re so silly! I never left you. I will be with you forever no matter what….always.” She gently loosened his hands from hers. “Always.” She whispered. Then she spun away across the fields. Tom ran after her but was unable to catch up. “Wait come back! Don’t leave me!” Tom called. She kept spinning faster and faster, farther and farther until she was gone. Tom collapsed to his knees. She was gone. Again.

Tom sat up on his throne breathing hard. He must have dozed off. It had felt so real. Her words echoed in his head. “Always.” Tom trembled. He had things to do, more important things besides sleeping! “Easy Tom. Everyone needs sleep.” He thought to himself. Tom let his mind wander. Who was hunting peacekeepers? Maybe he could read the person’s mind and find out who it was! Tom’s eyes rolled upward and he searched and probed with his mind but he couldn’t find out the person. He couldn’t read the person’s thoughts! Suddenly a face flashed in his mind. A face changed with time, with age, and filled with resentment. An friend from Tom’s youth. Tom sighed. “And so old friend we meet again.”
