In most people's eyes, Lovely Lisa rocked the big one.
Game over. The most beautiful girl in school. Little miss popular. You either wanted to be with her or be her.
But in Lisa's eyes, she didn't rock the big one. She sucked the big one.
In fact, in Lisa's eyes she sucked the big red one. The big fiery red one.
And now she stood, facing her front door, as she watched His shadow descend on the world she had made her own.
It began with three knocks.
Knock. Like the plea of a wanting child.
Knock. Like a muffled cry from inside a buried coffin.
Knock. Like a scream in a cathedral.
She knew. Even at that point she had known. But still she had waited.
Knock knock. Who's there?
A breeze slipped under the door. Lisa felt cold air wisp around her ankles, stroking and coaxing at her skin. She
instantly recoiled, lifting each foot off the ground one by one, as if to outwit the ghostly intruder.
"No way. You are not doing this to me!" She ran back and stumbled, landing in an ungainly mess on the
hall floor.
She looked up at the door. It was now as the colour of night.
"It's your destiny," a voice echoed in her head.
"Fuck off you bastard! NO!!"
And so it started.
She fought Him for seven days.
She didn't let Him in. He kept knocking. She kept saying no.
Finally, the knocking stopped and was replaced by something much, much worse….
He said, " Lisa? Oh Lisa? You can't fight Me forever. You will let Me in. You have to let Me in. You know
that." The voice was cold and yet inviting, chilling and yet soothing.
Lisa mustered up all her courage and sneered back at the darkness. "I know who you are and I know I will never
bow to you!"
He laughed then. This was a laugh that could shatter worlds.
"But you already have, my love. You escaped from Me once. Did you really think I would let that happen again?
We are bound, you and I"
A tremor started in the pit of Lisa's stomach.
" I offered you Dominion. You grasped it with your greedy little hands and took it with all the eagerness
of a playful child. I gave you this world. Without Me you are nothing. How have I wronged you, my love?"
Quietly, Lisa whispered, "Leave me alone…"
"Give Me back what is mine and I shall leave you."
Lovely Lisa listened to His voice and suddenly knew what she had to do.
"Take it," she said.
