Nightmares of the darkness

LUCIANO’S POV

As the last huge chunk of soil settles upon what I believe is my new home, my grave, sealing my tomb in the earth, I am expecting my body to let go and let me take my last breath.

From what I understood from Coal and Doom’s explanation. They said I would not die here instantly now until ten years to come. But who is to say? Maybe God will be on my side for once.

Maybe God won’t allow me to keep suffering the nightmares of the darkness like I did for the last whole month. And I will be lucky enough and die now.

As absurd as it is, I am praying to make it to heaven first, even if for just a minute, and then go to hell. Because I would expect to find my mother, Zia, and James waiting for me.

And that puts a smile on my face and relief in my heart. But I am almost guaranteed it’s not heaven I am going to. I am going to hell.
