He watches her
from the corner of the room.
She should be afraid and cower
but in her desperation,
she shows none of the signs
that would indicate her submission.
She wails out her plea
to the divinity of justice,
"Nemesis, hear me.
I seek my retribution against
a creature that made me
what I am, and I ask
for my life which once housed
my soul back so that I can
become human and whole once again."
His laughter rings out
like a knife blade piercing through
the gravity of silence.
He lunges for her
only to be pushed back by a vision
appeared suddenly before him;
a guardian angel with fiery eyes
that could reduce him to ashes,
proclaiming,
"Each human has a guardian angel;
she is now under my protection.
Be gone!"
