Song- Blown Away by Carrie Underwood
"There's not
enough rain in Oklahoma Oklahoma
That's because the darkness lives
in that house has a hold over the past, present, and future. They say a place,
a house, or land never forgets its tragedies and they are right. For decades
the house trapped the horrors of the past within its walls without releasing
it. All the tears cried in that house could fill an ocean. All the blood shed
there could supply a blood bank for years. Yet the house still stood regardless
of the time eating away its exterior and interior. It survived the storms,
floods, fires. Its hold on the land could not be broken for the house was the
land and the land was the house.
I was the last one to inhabit the
home. After 3o days I left and vowed never to return or set foot in the house
or land. That I swore as I poured gasoline on the floors of every single room,
then lit the match. I watched the fire take life before leaving the flames to
do its job. Its job was to destroy but it didn't destroy the house. Two days
later I drove by and saw the house still standing strong, and laughing at me.
"Ha, ha, ha. You think you can destroy me?" the house roared at me. I
didn't stop the car and drove away fearful, stunned, thoughtful of what kid of
evil dwells there?
The evil in that house is the evil
that never dies. Evil that has been here on earth before mankind and will exist
after mankind. The one clue I once discovered as to the nature of the evil
presence was in the basement. On the ground, written in what appeared to be blood
was the word, Beliah. I looked it up, Beliah was a fallen angel. Was this his
dwelling, his land? Were we simply visitors at his house until he felt the need
for us to leave, because that’s how I felt. I never felt at home in the 16th
century farmhouse in Oklahoma .
Although I was a widower with no children, I was never alone in that house. I
heard him talking. I sensed his presence, a heaviness that sucked the air our
of the space and I saw the shadows. He was always watching me, touching me,
scarring me, and loathing me. For I was human and humans still have a chance to
enter into God's Kingdom. We are his children and God loves us and forgives us
but for the dark ones, the fallen angel he had no salvation, no forgiveness, so
he hated me. He wanted to take my life. That was the ultimate goal, always to
end my life after corrupting me and damming me to hell. That was his only
purpose in life, to dwell in that house and destroy lives and collect souls for
the dark one. But I, I walked away. I did not succumb to the house's fate. I
survived it with the help of my might father, God!
