Caretaker and the Child Ep2

             Gene walked towards them and he wanted to choose the angel but for some reason, he couldn't. The angel started to morph into unrecognizable being. All luster and hope were gone; the holy grail was taken away from him. He grabbed tightly onto himself , almost screaming. The devil chose him.

       "Gene, what's wrong?"that voice embraced him with its warm arms and he threw himself towards his parents behind him. 

       "Monsters.... the.. there are monsters. They ar...re behind me." He squeezed those tears out of his eyes, refusing to open them. 

       "What monsters? Your creativity is running wildly these days, isn't it?" His parents patted Gene but fear clung on fiercely.

       The devil was gone.

        Gene was brought home after he bought a cup of ice cream to calm his nerves. That horrendous look was ingrained in his memory, refusing to be erased. He tried to assure himself that these things don't exist but no avail. Fear crept up his back. He asserted all his might and threw himself onto the bed. Crawling under the sheets, he forced himself to sleep. 

        A tunnel of light beckoned him. He followed. Stopped.

        "Gene! Wait for me!"

Who was the guy calling out to him?
