'Nuff Said

Sometimes writers just get it right.

Not just book authors, but writers for all mediums.

Film, Stage, Radioplays, Musicians, even Comic Books.

In fact, it is a comic book writer that really hit home today. (Yes, I should have posted a warning that this is going to be an INCREDIBLY geeky entry... but now you know so keep reading.)

Right now there is a story line going on in the Spiderman series that involves Aunt May being shot and Peter dealing with it the only way he knows how, by fighting to keep her alive. He has gone to everyone he knows and no one can help. Well, where does he turn in this issue? The only entity that can make anything happen for a price. That's right. The Devil. (Well, Mephisto to be specific.) Of course the Devil can fix everything, but what is the price? He will heal May, but in return he will wipe out the entire relationship that Peter has with Mary Jane. What will he choose! (to be continued...)

Now with that geekiness out of the way I get to my point.

It was very elegantly stated by Mephisto... (and I am going to butcher it as it is not in front of me at this time.) He said that he thrives off of pain, misery, torment. And what he will do is erase their relationship clean from their memories, except for one little piece of their souls will remember forever the connection that was lost. And it will be that little piece that will forever be in agony and torment. And he will savor it.

That really hit home for me when I read it. Because that's what I feel right now. Completely healed for the most part, but with one little piece that is forever going to be missing something. (If you don't know what I am talking about, then you need to go back and find my very emo postings from a year ago... I don't want to restate.) It's fine for the most part, but there are days when the pain goes from imperceptible, to a dull ache, to a full on fire in my chest. It eventually dies down, but I know that it will be there for a very long time. Perhaps not forever long, but at least until I have something to fill the void again. (Which seems like a very long time off.)
