The Candle

When you blow out a candle, what do you think about?

Here, all the candles are blown out . . .         good, then.

You don’t need to know what it really is for us. . .             or how it was back then. . .

Now you just won’t have children like you anymore. . .               Your . . .

They’ll look like These. . .               Not immediately, of course. . .         In the fifth generation, it will become very noticeable. . .               We already see them. . .

                                                                   ***

Every Cycle on the Day of the High Sun, This One brings a sacrifice.

He doesn’t sacrifice anything – they just kill the next girl. . .

They are born specifically for this purpose – to kill them later. . .        Forced to give birth. . .

We want them to die right away, in the belly. . .               and we want to die too. . .                But they won’t let us.

We think: “. . . die, die, die. . .”, but they do not die and they keep being born. . .

Death doesn’t want to take them. . .

Death hears us, but does not want to take a little Life – the daughter of LETO because she does not know in what next girl her soul will live. . .           have to live. . .

This One knows that Life must have a son who will kill him. So he does not allow it to be born in anyone’s body. . .

                                                                   ***

You have got a new holiday soon. . .               You will be blowing out the candles again.

And why the children are different, you are not even interested in knowing. . .
