man. Ultimately, though, he would have to die for his sins. I still had no idea where this vision came from. For most my life I had thought my visions came from God. I thought God had been using me as a weapon to carry out His will. During my dealings with the Bishop, I learned that wasn’t the case, however. I still didn’t know the source of my visions, or what drove me to do this work. I figured since I was part Nephilim, it may have something to do with my celestial DNA.
                  During my encounter with the Bishop years ago, I had read everything in his mind. I had seen the mind of God. Trouble was, I couldn’t remember anything I’d found. I’d tried over and over to recall those things, yet I drew a blank every time. It was somewhere in my head, but would have to surface on its own.
                  “You all right?”  Maria asked as she stepped out of the embalming room.
                  “Yeah, I’m fine.”
                  “You sure? You look kind of pale. What’s up with your friend?”
                  “Oh, nothing. He’s leaving town today and just wanted to say hello.”
                  “Oh, well that’s too bad,” she said, looking dejected.
                  “Why is that too bad?”
                  “Nothing, he just seemed like a nice guy.”
                  “Uh no. You don’t want anything to do with him.”
                  “Why, Charlie?  You almost sound jealous!”
                  “No, I’m not jealous. Don’t be ridiculous. He comes across as nice, but he’s just bad news. Trust me.”
                  “Geez, Charlie. You sound like he’s the devil or something,” she said, rolling her eyes.
                  “Well, he’s a serious trouble maker. A big reason I hadn’t seen him in a while.”
                  “Okay, then. Well, the girl is all done. The family will bring some clothes in the morning so we can dress her up, even though it will be a closed casket funeral. Not much I could do with her face. I’m going to go get lunch. You hungry?”
                  “No, not at the moment. I was going to straighten up here. Then I have an appointment this afternoon.
                  “Okay. Well call me on my cell if you need anything. You really need to loosen up though, Charlie. Nothing wrong with being around other people once in a while.” If only she knew.
                  “I know. Just not something I’m good at.”
                  “No worries. See you later,” she said as she headed out.
                  Once she stepped out, I took a shower and changed clothes. I had work to do. Once a vision hits, the urge to complete it would eats at me until I carry it out. I needed to pay Officer Cortez a visit. But first, I needed to prepare. This was going to be a mess. I had no location, no tools, nothing. It had been two years since I’d killed anyone. So before anything else, I had to make a trip to Home Depot. The hard part would be finding a suitable location.
                  I climbed in my Explorer and headed to the west side of town. I figured there would be some place there I could use. Cortez worked the evening shift, from four until midnight, so I had some time to get my things together. If nothing else, I’d have to wait until tomorrow. I didn’t want to rush it, but the urge was now burning inside of me. I was like a man who hadn’t eaten in weeks running toward a buffet of food. There was no stopping me, but I couldn’t let my urges make me careless. It was going to be a long night.

                  Maria returned to the funeral home after lunch and found Charlie hadn’t returned. He looked exhausted earlier, so she wouldn’t have been surprised if he was done for the day. He often
