Nothing Into Something

Erin went to bed that night feeling warm. A campfire warm, not the searing kind. It was so warm. Uriel made him feel both exposed and protected, seeing his eyes even when Erin thinks Uriel is looking the other way. He always sees. He always sees and is always so quiet about it. Blink, and you might miss it. Erin's learning to keep his eyes peeled.

Time was slowly unraveling Erin from the knots of reality, freeing him into the universal song of life. It could not be commanded by wind as water can. Time was healing the wounds he didn't even know were bleeding.
