The Keepers (11 page)

“
You killed my
parents?” Lysei asked confusedly.

“
You are mine
and always will be mine. You have a purpose.”

“
You killed my
parents
!” Lysei shouted
angrily.

“
For the
greater good. But I did not kill them since they were not under
me.”

“
You killed my
parents. My parents!” He shouted at I Am again.

“
They were not
under the same cloud as you Lysei. They would’ve only distracted
you. Do not be distressed, I am you
Father. You have the key to building a momentum were children
don’t lose their parents don’t you? You can choose to die, killing
everyone else or you could choose to be King.”

“
Be
King?”

“
Well, who
else is more suitable to be king?”

Lysei kept
quiet.
The Voice
was speaking through the
clouds from somewhere deep in the sky. It as noon o’clock, the sun
right above him and the green grass field which seemed to extend
forever in any direction he looked, and high up further from the
sun on the left of the direction his body was fronting, a rainbow
shown, sparkling and bright next to the sun. An eagle flew
beneath
the
sun, the sound of its call
seeming to come from everywhere and casting a large eagle shadow
shielding Lysei, momentarily from the sun.

“
Lysei, you
represent my momentum in human form
,” I Am
said proudly.

“
Jesus
Christ
,” Lysei
said
overwhelmed by the news.

“
Not quite.
Jesus was suitable only then. Now you are here. And you will be
suitable until you are no longer needed. But you won’t die
Just
remember
to
Keep well.”

“
I shall keep
best
,”
h
e
said.

“
One more
thing before you wake up. The secret to beauty and attractiveness
is Order, Efficiency and Convenience.”

Lysei did not reply.

“
You don’t understand.” It was not a question.
“Set times for eating, for drinking water, for exercise and for
sleeping – that is order and it will generalise throughout your
body and you will be beautiful. I have keepers and they gave the
living badness sex and now, you will be attractive- most attractive
in the world- and you will control sex orderly, for you own sake
anyw
ay
. Now wake up, Lysei, you have been
activated
,” I Am concluded.

And he
woke up.

“
Should we
close up shop? Regards on the orphan, it
worked
, well, basically as you had intended.”

“
And do what,
become like them?”
The First
asked. “No.
We do our job. We study what the momentum wants and we do our job.
I Am would have killed us already if he had no use for us. Don’t
panic
,”
h
e said
to comfort the keeper, but really within him, he was panicking too.
He was uncertain but he thought that perhaps that was what I Am
wanted, for the keepers to not know all but only that which is
allowed
by Him
.
After all, I Am is alive and I Am should have secrets. For
the greater good.

“
Okay, so we
study now. And then help. We are not keepers of the momentum any
more
,”
The First
continued. “We are merely just helpers of I Am. Disposable at
any moment.”

“
You will get
used to your demotion
,”
The
First
-rank-opp said jokingly. “After all, if you
are demoted, what am I? And what are the rest of us? But remember,
you are, in a way, the one who was given the thought about the
orphan. The momentum used you, and rest assured, you still being
fit, will use you again.”

“
I hope
so
,”
t
he only
thing
The First
could say.

The end.
