Zen Tap

Allan Onik

    The sanctuary was dimly lit with half-burned candles. Sitting cross-legged on the cold stone floor amid the shadows, Kain closed his eyes and began to meditate. He noted his body as his essence floated in the holy room. Baal crawled out the wall preceded by flies and beetles.
    You join me every time, Kain thought, can’t I be left in peace?
    No mortal can, said the Beelzebub, I’m watching you all.
    Like a grandfather clock? Tick tock tick tock....
    Right you are. But some fail to realize I’m here. Some think me and my brothers are fairy tales. Some like to half-believe. Others commit great sin in order to please our nemesis. It’s all quite confusing and a bit amusing to my master.
    I wish I didn’t attract you and your bugs like a bee to honey.
    You are the one and only. THE ONLY.
    Kain swirled around the shadows. He looked down at his body. The daemon god gave off a rancid stench. And the candle flames flickered their light.
    You see? Cried Baal. The Father...
    Loves me.
    And all as ONE.
    Kain reentered and slept on the stone.
