Chapter 11: The Man and the Boy

NeerlyThere Literary / Fiction 18 Jun 2026

A child comes and knocks, on a door he does not quite yet know.

A man comes and opens it, and ask him what he seeks

A child seeks for food and shelter, a way not to perish

A man seeks to help the child, not just now but forever

A child reveals that he has a great debt, one he can never pay

A man reveals that he always knew, and that he can make it go away


A man sends his son and has him pay the price, not just for the boy, but for all of mankind.

Chapter 22: The Son and the Town

Queen-neef13 Poetry 21 Jul 2026

The village has always known of the son

The son has always know of the village

The village knew that the son would relieve them

The son knew of the pain it’d require

The village saw the son, and asked who he was

The son saw the village, and said he was their savior

The village called it blasphemy and threatened to kill him

The son called it love, and continued to love them
