When I opened my eyes, the room swam in fluttering wings and bright colors. Wonder swept me, and I sat up.

The butterflies resting on my blankets flitted up, disturbing their neighbors until, one by one, all the gentle creatures took to the air. Awed, I slipped out of bed. The pairs and pairs of wings fluttered and flitted and danced around the room, around me. In circle and circle they flew, their motion stirring a breeze in the room. The papers on my desk started catching on the wind, but still I stood, transfixed. 

One butterfly broke rank and landed on my arm. I smiled. Its wings drifted like a kiss. A burning pinch like a sewing needle pricked me, and the butterfly flew back to the circle. Then another butterfly and another prick. And another. I called out, trying to hit the fragile creatures away without hurting them.

They kept darting toward me and biting me, and my panic grew with each one. They're not supposed to be able to bite. Butterflies can't bite, and I cried out in fear and pain. My swings became more frantic, hurried, panicked. Each bite burned long after the butterfly returned to the funnel around me, and I dropped to the floor.

Bite after bite after bite. Whimpers fell from my lips like the tears from my eyes. Little red dots covered my skin. Energy seeped from me with each little bite, like poison lips touching me over and again.

Slowly, quietly, my life slipped away in the butterfly kisses.

If you know Jesus Christ as your Savior, then let us praise God together! 

If not, then I pray that you come to recognize Him as the only way of salvation from your sins, which earn you God's wrath and just punishment in Hell. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one will go to Heaven but through repentance from their sins and believing in Him. 

If you have any questions, comment or PM me! I'd love to talk. <3
