20 Stories - Awaken

There comes a time and day in every novel where you need to flip the page, where what went before no longer makes sense.  The insane stay there stuck in the past. The strong stand in the now being the next story that comes to the tell. The way is keeping with the pace of time. Much like water in a river it moves forward never looking back.  

Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.

You know everyone has a story.  She lifted up her hands and counted the scars, the battles, the bites and the breaking.  She looked in a mirror by her side and counted the thoughts outlined in etchings in her skin. Her eyes were brighter than the blue of steel and countless universes could be seen within them.  Her body was clothed in armor that could not be bought.  The way it encased her, it seemed almost alive - it's color was light - reflective, adaptive and nothing could stand up to it.  Her helmet was a gift from the Creator of the Universe - her very friend.  It was as light as light itself and created a presence guarding her physical skull and her mind.

Reaching into the pack at her side she whipped out a small book.  It was entitled the book of remembrance. 

How to stay positive

don’t look back

seek the solution 

trust god

That truly was all she had on her mind.
