jogando alguém na fogueira: conto 2

Era noite no pátio, e não havia lua, havia pontos de luz aqui ou ali, mas não eram o suficiente, além do silêncio sepulcral que se fazia, quebrado ocasionalmente pelo rugido do verme.

Timothée e Castela estavam bem no centro, Timmy com metros e metros de corda na mão, mas tremendo muito

-- Ele se move muito rápido, é tão difícil de focar -- Comentou Castela, Timmy reparou que suas íris em forma de cruz, o que a dava um aspecto bem assombroso, mas ela já havia explicado que tinha o poder de enxergar tudo e em todo o lugar -- Ele está indo para os jardins da reitoria, é por causa do solo, eu vou fazer um círculo de contenção aqui e você vai trazer ele para cá

-- Como? -- Timmy perguntou quase chorando, mas tentando ser o mais corajoso possível

-- Olha, não precisa ter medo, só o distraia e ele vai vim correndo atrás de você -- Ela falava como se parecesse muito simples, ele respirou fundo se perguntando internamente o que aconteceria se ele morresse ali e se tudo ainda era um sonho, ele tinha medo de perguntar e descobrir

-- Ok, vamos lá -- Castela começou a fazer um um círculo imenso no pátio com um tipo de sal escuro enquanto Timmy caminhou a passos largos para o jardim.

Quando ele chegou perto do quintal da reitoria, se escondeu atrás de alguns arbustos e avistou o monstro, era do tamanho de uma caminhonete, comprido como uma carreta, e estava parado e parecia respirar, ele não conseguia sentir nenhuma empatia pelo bicho, ele era horrível, grotesco e assustador, sua boca aberta cheia de dentes se mexia e o deixava arrepiado

-- Eu prefiro os de computação gráfica -- Ele comentou para si mesmo, mas lembrou que aquele verme alguém de quem aquelas pessoas gostavam e queriam livrá-lo daquela maldição, então ele iria ajudá-lo porque eram pessoas querendo ajudar um amigo -- Ele não pode me ver -- Ele sussurrou enquanto o verme não parecia ter notado a sua presença ali, então ele respirou fundo e saiu dos arbustos e começou a fazer barulho, surdo ele também não deveria ser, o verme virou sua boa em direção a ele e ficou parado por tempo o suficiente para Timmy entender que deveria começar a correr muito rápido. Saiu correndo e gritando, os gritos serviam para manter o verme no seu encalço, mas ele gritava de pavor e não de forma proposital, correu o mais rápido que suas pernas alcançaram, estava com tanto medo que não conseguiu seguir direto para o pátio e acabou se metendo em um lugar em que a única saída para se salvar foi se jogar num vão para o verme passar direto por ele, então se moveu lentamente para espiar a criatura e ela estava se movendo para lá e para cá logo a frente

-- Ele corre muito -- Ele sussurrou desesperado pensando que era arriscado se usar de isca e que poderia ser devorado, devia haver outro jeito, então ele se sentou e viu a sua frente duas foices de jardinagem, olhou novamente para o verme que agora estava estático e temia estar lhe procurando -- Eu espero estar no mesmo universo onde isso funcione -- Então ele pegou as foices e saiu silenciosamente do vão, o verme não era liso, tinha um corpo anelado, então talvez não precisasse fincar as lâminas na carne da criatura

Castela já estava com tudo pronto para conter o verme, mas Timmy ainda não o tinha trazido

-- O que ele está fazendo? -- Ela se perguntou -- Isso é...--

-- Ei Maria, onde está Timmy e nosso amigo Ruskin ? -- Perguntou Lewis Carroll chegando a pé com Duckworth do cemitério, logo a pergunta foi respondida pelos gritos do jovem -- Está atraindo ele aqui como isca, esperto, é um clássico

-- Não, ele não está correndo -- Respondeu Castela

-- Olha aquilo! -- Apontou Dukworth e viram o verme zanzando por todos os lados a uma alta velocidade e Timothée preso acima dele segurando duas foices presas no bicho

-- Caramba, que ideia! -- Se admirou Carroll -- Alguém tinha que mostrar isso para os caçadores de sombras

-- PARA CÁ! O TRAGA PARA CÁ! SE ELE ENTRAR NO CÍRCULO NÃO PODERÁ IR A LUGAR NENHUM -- Gritou Castela o máximo que pode, Timmy sabia o que tinha que fazer, então se levantou e controlou os cabos o máximo que pode para fazer o verme ir até o pátio. Deu certo, o verme foi diretamente para o círculo, mas parou de forma tão abruta que Timmy foi lançado para frente e ia se espatifar contra uma parede se ele não parasse a centímetros flutuasse a uns quatro metros do chão, mas não estava mais gritando, estava tão espantado com a experiência que estava quase chorando. Carroll apareceu logo abaixo dele e o fez descer, fora ele quem usara magia para fazê-lo flutuar no ar

-- Caramba, você foi genial! -- Comentou o escritor -- Eu já cavalguei muitas criaturas, mas nunca imaginei cavalgar um verme -- quando as pernas de Timmy tocaram o chão elas estavam tão trêmulas que ele mal conseguia se manter em pé

-- Bem, a ideia não foi minha, mas é uma longa história

-- Agora precisamos amarrá-lo! -- Disse Castela -- Aqui está a corda, mas precisa ser muitos nós diferentes -- O verme estava dentro do círculo, mas se mexia muito

-- Eu acho que sei uns quatro -- Disse Charles

-- Eu sei alguns -- Disse Duckworth dando de ombros -- dois

-- Ta de brincadeira!

-- Eu só sei um, amarração nunca foi comigo -- Disse Castela

-- Vamos lá, mas é a última coisa que eu vou fazer por esse verme -- Suspirou Timothée se recuperando do susto

The Star Market

Marie Howe

The people Jesus loved were shopping at the Star Market yesterday. An old lead-colored man standing next to me at the checkout breathed so heavily I had to step back a few steps.

Even after his bags were packed he still stood, breathing hard and hawking into his hand. The feeble, the lame, I could hardly look at them: shuffling through the aisles, they smelled of decay, as if the Star Market

had declared a day off for the able-bodied, and I had wandered in with the rest of them—sour milk, bad meat— looking for cereal and spring water.

Jesus must have been a saint, I said to myself, looking for my lost car in the parking lot later, stumbling among the people who would have been lowered into rooms by ropes, who would have crept

out of caves or crawled from the corners of public baths on their hands and knees begging for mercy.

If I touch only the hem of his garment, one woman thought, could I bear the look on his face when he wheels around?

#I posted an excerpt of this poem yesterday but it felt necessary to post the whole thing today #because this poem #this darn poem #knows exactly where i live #'the feeble the lame i could hardly look at them' #i (like many of you) grew up around Christians like 85% of the time #i chose not to go to a Christian college specifically so that i could try to mitigate this part of my heart #that feels almost viscerally uncomfortable around certain types of people #i want to learn to love all my neighbors with Christ's abounding love #i know that I am no less sinful than my neighbor #but sometimes it's like there's a bee in the room and i don't know where it is #i'm set on edge by certain kinds of sin #in a way that i'm not by others #i'm sure this is true in degrees for many of us raised in the church #and this poem. this darn poem calls us out directly #it calls /me/ out directly #'The people Jesus loved were shopping at the Star Market yesterday. I could hardly look at them.' #'Jesus must have been a saint (that's the one bit i don't like-- Jesus must have been GOD) to be able to love these people' #'these people who came stumbling towards him crawling towards him lowered through the ceiling towards him' #'begging for mercy. begging with more humility than I manage on any but my best day' #'the people Jesus loved-- and i could hardly look at them' #and that last line hits you right in the solar plexus #'if I could only touch the hem of his garment could I bear the look on his face when he wheels around?' #no. no i don't think i could #and yet #i imagine that look would be so so beautiful #and by the grace of God i know i CAN bear it #i and all the other people Jesus loves #Bible humans #literature makes us more human

being able to wear shirts from when i was 13 depends on the fact that i assume most ppl here cannot understand english and will not understand what my shirts say

#most embarassing shirt? the one that says '[college mascot] is my homeboy' actually that one was from when i was 10 #but others include EVERY SINGLE church shirt i have. with scripture and everything on it. #the extra embarassing ones (like one w a pic of christ redemptor) i save for house clothes. but others i wear normally #my lesbian ass wearing shirts from 10 years from some if the experiences that made me the most miserable ever. im over it n now its whateve #but idk i cant think abt wearing church shirts for too long or i get weirded out LMAO #z xarre

the heather dale version of sir gawain and the green knight is so so so so so so beyond frustrating to me. especially when i went in knowing the original poem and expecting basically a condensed form of that, not a fundamentally changed thing. because the poet almost gets it! the older form of chivalry that's not what people nowadays think it is, "that's fear that chills you like a wraith / and doubt you gird about your waist / it's rare the man who'll hold to faith", etc. but it all means nothing without the one truth to give it life, and it's even worse than nothing to take out the truth and try to replace it with the tattered scraps of a dead religion

#[muttering indistinctly] i'm an alto i could do my own version #liken the importance of keeping promises to the marriage bond which is a picture of christ and the church. is that anything #i could sing the whole original poem for that matter. put it up on spotify as an album #perhaps after college i can get a place with some recording space

Talked to an old college bud and i miss her sm 🥺🥺🥺

And I'm so proud of her! She found a friendgroup at her new church and she's satisfied with her relationship status wherever God decides to take it. Its honestly super encouraging. Shes not side b or anything but shes still valuing platonic relationships and trusting God's plan for her love life 🥺🥰

#i very much would like to be a part of a Christian community of ppl my age again #the fact that she found good buds that love christ is very encouraging to me #like hells yeah its possible to make new friends in ur 20s and not be lonely #also she ids as catholic but she spent college with us(baptists) and now shes at a non denom church #which is basically baptists so. the conversion is coming lmao #also it is so freaking refreshing talking to someone who isnt obsessed with being married and is like 'if it is it will be. and if not' #'its not and thats ok' #like holy fck thank you #i feel like i found a spring in the middle of the desert

I know there are a lot of photographers and other artists on this corner of the internet so I likely don't need to say this here, but a reminder that even within one type of art, like photography, there are different genres and niches. Someone that primarily shoots landscapes probably wouldn't be a very good wedding photographer, and the other way around. Being good at one part of the thing doesn't mean a person is magically good at all the parts of a thing.

#personal #had someone tell me to start shooting weddings or baptisms if i couldnt make money doing landscape #my dude i dont shoot people #there are no people in landscape photography (most of the time) #if i was good at shooting weddings dont you think id already be doing that???? #thats where the money is! #but also i hate weddings! #and im anti christian! #so why in the fuck would i willingly step into a church and be present at a baptism #like jesus christ #no pun intended #i just #dont get why people think thats a good suggestion #i do not shoot people full stop #its not what i like and its not what im good at #and i know my work is decent #i shot a faux wedding in college and tbh it sucked i hated it so much #i got some okay shots but like bro it was so fucking boring and i just am not a people person #im having a bad day
