Featured Monologue – In the Face of the Beast

FATHER LEWIS: It is good to have the spirit in you. I sense that the events that have unfolded could have wounded you in some capacity. I sense that although you are of strong fiber, Willa, there is a shadow of doubt that seems to follow you. That you are walking along a fine edge that may have cracks deeper than you know.

I would be very mindful of taking long walks alone through the woods, at least, not until we locate and diminish this threat. For it is a threat, Willa. A threat so fierce, so evil, that no shotgun, no husband, and no faith can ever prevent. It exists and walks in and of itself. 

It will come and go as the wind passes through the leaves of our very own cedars. It lives among us and will die among us. As it is ready.

You were lucky the other day, very lucky. Luck is a gift one must not ever take for granted. Luck can alter the mind wrongfully. It can give us power, strength, will, belief, wrongful belief in things we may not truly be capable of…

But you will be fine, so long as you know your limitations, so long as you don’t exceed your boundaries, and you don’t forget the house that welcomes you. Enter the grounds and pray, Willa. Stay out of harm’s path, and I am certain no harm will come to you.
