Sublime Awakenings: Chapter 13
The hospital room was dark with the exception of a few basic monitoring devices silently announcing the status of the girl’s heart and brain waves. All life-support systems had been shut off a few hours ago at the bequest of her parents, who didn't care enough to flip the bill for their comatose daughter any longer than necessary. Within a week she would die naturally of dehydration if left to her own, nonexistent, devices. But she wasn't going to be left to those devices.
Within the darkness shadows swirled together, thickening into a human shape. As the form gained solidity it took several inaudible steps towards the girl, who no longer wore the shirt bearing the letters “S.Y.D.”. It moved into the glow from the monitors, revealing itself to no one. An astral hand, tingling with spiritual energy, pressed itself firmly to the girls head. The waves on the EEG machine crested and peeked sharply with the contact as her brain momentarily came back to life. The girl took in a deep, shuddering breath, and her eyes fluttered open.
When her gaze landed on the dark, cloaked form, her fear was reflected by the fast drops and falls of the line on the cardiograph machine. If it had not been muted, it would have been beeping like crazy. She tried to open her mouth and scream, but a wave of energy from the hand seemed to paralyze her. It wasn't fair! She needed to fight! To scream! To pray, even!
All thought slowed to the point of stopping when the figure leaned down, revealing himself to be a tan youth with eyes like smoldering, red flames. He seemed somehow familiar, and almost against her will she was comforted by this familiarity. She felt herself calm even more as his hand gently wiped bangs from her forehead.
“I'm sorry. I don't usually do this. It's really my brother's job, but this is a special case.” Pepito focused hard on keeping his face placid, free of emotion, even though inside he was faltering. Just touching this girl was disgusting after seeing her earlier treatment of his friend, yet that was the very reason he was there. He ran a seemingly steady hand through her messy hair, making sure to brush off all the diodes connecting her to the monitor. “Don't worry. Your Earthly suffering has come to an end.”
Molten eyes closed as the teenage demon-boy sought a spiritually objective serenity that he wasn't yet willing to except into his own life, not completely at any rate. His breathing became deeper and more pronounced in his mortal body, and his astral body, in the hospital, reflected the same. When his mind finally reached that magical state of passive action he felt his body fill with energy from the chaotic abyss, which was then channeled into the girl.
He heard her release a low gasp as the binds of her soul were cut from her body. As his hand rose from her flesh, her soul followed with it, sealed in a lightly glowing bubble of energy. “Do not be afraid.” This time it was a command, and the weak soul obeyed without question. “May you pass beyond the veil.” He felt the energy bubble expand, along with her soul, until it faded out of the dimension of time and into the realm of infinity.
The girl was gone, but her body remained alive. It needed a soul. A simple soul. An annoying soul. He knew just the one. The Antichrist once again closed his eyes to seek out that one, fitting, soul in Hell. He found it almost instantly, enduring its cyclical torture. His father told him that this particular soul had once been a human advertising executive who put out the most annoying ads. In Hell, its punishment had been a constant replay of those commercials. He still remembered them from sitting in on the torture sessions. “HeadOn: apply directly to the forehead.” Over and over. Just being there for one session usually made Pepito want to apply a sledge hammer “directly to the forehead”.

Notes:
-Pepito's brother is Death. I did't plan on theology playing a huge role in this fiction, but it will (blame Pepito!)and it will come from various sources, including literary ones, especially Milton (according to Paradise Lost Death and Sin are the children of Satan) and Blake.
-I kept referring to the soul that soul that is replacing “Syd” as “it” because I couldn't find the name of that person on the internet, so I don't know it it is a man or a woman. Maybe they don't want to be found because so many people hate that commercial.
