Crossroad of flames

The sound of metal sliding against metal echoed across the large circular room as the key slid into the lock. He twisted the key until the familiar clank rung in his ear, sliding the key back out he let the key fall from his hands but instead of hitting the floor it swung and a sharp but quick sound snapped into existence as it hit dozens of other keys tied around his neck.

Making his way back to the center of the room he knelt before the ring of candles which remained the only source of light in the large room. Each candle burned a different color, some brighter then others, some held larger flames, a few weren't even lit. Behind each one  stood a door upon the wall of varying shapes and makes. Dozens of candles, dozens of doors, dozens of keys. Some were closed, some locked. Others open all the way, while some were cracked open. Few didn't even have locks.

Pathways leading to different futures, separate sorrows. He knelt before the crossroads, another door had been locked. He slowly bent forward over the candle that represented the door which he had just locked. The flame it held was small but elegant. It was a black flame with a bright yellow core and tips. He took a deep breath and prayed a silent prayer, then slowly let his breath out and the unique flame went out.

And yet after this ordeal he did not weep of sorrow, but smiled in happiness. The truth had been shown to him. The door he had locked creaked and moaned as it moved, the room growing bigger, stretching itself out. Then wax dripped form the ceiling slowly staking it self into a new candle and as a new door warped into existence a flame arose and sparked into life upon the new candle. This time the flame was different then any other he had seen before. It was a dark blue flame with golden tips and core, but inside the golden core pranced a white spark.

Well Snap, crackle, pop!

I'll admit, i saw it coming. I wasn't sure how long it would take, but i saw it coming. Well i saw two things coming, but one i promised not to tell and the other i'll keep quiet about for the sake of courtesy.

Anyway,  the Scioto Hills retreat is this Friday! I cannot wait, i'm djing the dance party and i have a 4.6 hour list of music spread over 70 songs so this should be one great weekend!

On the other hand, due to recent developments my mind is splitting in two directions at full speed. Planning and conniving without my consent. I wanna just slow down and take it one day at a time but my mind just wants things to happen now. I know in the end it wouldn't be wise or tactful to do that though. I just wanna slow down, but i also think if i take it too slow i'll lose everything i hope for and long for again.

Whatever.

I convinced jenny to join nanowrimo with me. I am liking my idea but besides the world and some characters i'm not to sure where the plots gonna go. I guess we'll just have to find out. If nothing else i just hope to have fun writing again. its been way too long since i just wrote for fun.

Well Jen and Lee seem to be doing well, i'm happy for them, i just hope one day i can find someone, though also in the back of my mind i can accept the fact if i don't. it's all in God's hands, i just need to let him work in my life cause in the end he knows the best path for me to walk, the best people for me too meet and get to know.

I hope you're all having a good week, some i know are having trouble of your own but just remember God is with you and he won't give you something unless you can handle it. Maybe you can't on your own though, maybe he is giving you a trial just tough enough it makes you realize you need his help. i sure hope you take it. I promise you won't regret it.

Goodnight everyone.
