Enlightened In The Dark

[Garret thingysure]

I close my eyes and just lay there thinking about things

I think of my life and the world and about poor Linnea who got her wings cut off again.

"If there is a heaven, what do you think it would be like?" I ask as I hold her hand

I don't believe in heaven, but I like to hear her talk.

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov sees that Lysander is with Anna, so he turns from Anima for a moment

"Things seem to be going well here Lysander, but if you need any help be sure to ask."

He turns back to Anima and shakes his hand

"Good to meet you, visit me sometime in Helsinki."
He then glances at Zero

"I guess that's it for now. We can go back."

["Zero" Americanski]

"If that's what you want." I lock my arm around Bassarov's and stand as he does.

[Anima]

I shake Bassarov's hand warmly.

"Of course. I shall be sure to visit when able."

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Great, well, good bye, and good luck getting this city back together." Bassarov turns away with Zero and they take the teleportation booth back to Helsinki

"That went well." Bassarov says as he enters his apartment.

[Linnea Korpela]

"Heaven...well as an angel I have had visions. I am plauged with such things. But the streets are paved with gold and there is peace. No death, sickness or pain. Pure happiness...it is so different from earth. But right now with Satan it makes happiness so much more difficult."She sighed. "I can't wait to get there. But I'm basically a fallen angel because of my mother. Untill death I really don't have a way to get there other then if I was called by God. My human traits don't allow it."

["Zero" Americanski]

"Yes. The American branch seems to have built a very good base from what was available... What Amina had to say disturbed me... But we can just hope that this dosen't cause us problems."I say as I take the jacket off. I turn to face Bassarov. "I hope you are feeling better... Your cough is rather nasty."

[Garret thingysure]

I flip onto my side and kiss her behind the ear.

"Why wait for heaven? We can have a lot of that on Earth, doll."

I kiss her lips. My marxist side it coming out it seems.

[Linnea Korpela]

Linnea snuggled close to him and kissed him back.
"Sure, I'll go for that."

[Valodya Bassarov]

"I am feeling better, so don't worry. And yes, things are going well in Capital City. I am proud of Lysander."

Bassarov sits down

"Despite the strange circumstances surrounding his existance, I am glad that he is around. It is odd. I really never wanted to be a parent, but I am very proud of him and glad things turned out like they did. I would have missed out on a lot in life had he never been born."

For some reason Bassarov thinks a lot about his mortality these days. Maybe the Ministry of Terror did it to him.

[Garret thingysure]

"On a small scale, we can have happiness, but I think in the big picture too. Men weren't made to suffer. I think...there can be a just and good society. I put my faith in it entirely."

I touch her arms, and kiss them lightly.

"Who needs heaven? When it can be built on Earth..." I whisper.

["Zero" Americanski]

I move closer to him. "Please lubimi, don't talk like that. What you asked me earlier, well worries me. If you died... I don't know what I'd do. I love you, and I don't know how I would live without you..."

[Linnea Korpela]

"Yes I beleive that we could build a heaven on earth, but because of Satan it will always be destroyed and ended."
The touch of him sends electricity through her body and a hand goes up and through his hair.

[Garret thingysure]

"Yeah, the future has hope."

I decide to drop the politics, since it is a conflict of beliefs.

I hear a school bell ring.

"Hey, an angel got its wings!!"

[Linnea Korpela]

Linnea giggled. "Yeah but not this angel, she just lost hers. But they should be back soon I hope.."
