Beginning

Let the flames engulf you,
Swallow you whole, 
Feel the heat from the pits of your stomach bubble,
Your mouth only utters the word of God, 
The holy scripture,
You only utter my name, 
Again and again and again and again, 
Until it loses it's meaning,
Your vision bathed in red hue as the overwhelming pain pierces your head,
Yet you still kneel before me and pray, 
Clutching onto your brown rosary with tears in your eyes, you beg for the end, 
This is the end.
