Based on true life, everyone fights a demon; sometimes more than one.

Aneeyah: Bombylias! Let me help you! Forgive me for hurting you. I’m on your side.

Bombylias: Leave me alone Aneeyah!

Aneeyah began to call Bombylias by his middle name.

Aneeyah: Marcus! You have a demon and he is many.

Bombylias could hear Aneeyah speaking to him in his mind. With the mind, he answered her back.

Bombylias: I have no demon! I am Bombylias!

Aneeyah could see Bombylias in her mind and appeared to him in a vision.

Aneeyah: You had love for me Marcus. I know your heart. I didn’t know it back then. You were a freshmen, and I was a senior in college. I was after the older guys. I never looked your way. I was also a gangster in college which is very uncommon. I moved up in the criminal world. Later, I spent time in prison. I have a demon too. We’re alike Marcus.

Bombylias: Stop calling me Marcus! I never loved you!

Aneeyah: You don’t remember or you’re lying. It was written in your photo book. I’ve seen the book. It was stolen and given to me. It was I that returned it.

Bombylias hid his face in the dark. The tip top of his wings began to change in color to purple & red. Aneeyah knew what it meant. She knew Bombylias still had love for her.

Bombylias: Stay away from me Aneeyah! I am no longer Marcus. Marcus has changed. You must not see my face again!

A tear rolled down from Aneeyah’s right eye. She said …

Aneeyah: It is my fault that you are filled with anger. It’s because of what I have done to you. Forgive me Marcus. But why did you attack my grandmother?

Bombylias: I know not your grandmother!

Bombylias had a poor memory. He would do things and forget them.

Aneeyah: You don’t remember attacking an old lady one day on Broad Street?
The Tip of Bombylias wings changed back to their original colors which were black & yellow. He began to remember. His Atenas began to move and his horn began to glow.

Bombylias: How was I to know that was your grandmother? I was desperate and poor. Leave me Aneeyah. You just come to bother me with the past. I am sick Aneeyah! Leave me alone!

Aneeyah vanished from Bombylias and he could no longer see her or hear her. He was left in the dark alone.
