Flash. A 5 Minute Freewrite

It was there for one brief moment, so small a blip in time that I barely registered it, but it was there and it was truth. The knowledge, the realization. I knew it. Damn it I knew it.

I knew what he was. And I knew in my deepest core, down to my very DNA, that he had broken the vow to upend all vows.

But worse than even that... he had bruised my truth.

There was no going back. I could pretend like it wasn’t, like I had never known, but in that one brief moment in time my world stopped. My heart stopped beating. With it the planet's core stagnated and bled out. It had happened and there was no ignoring the shift.

Looking back on that mote in time, that was the moment that changed my life forever. No longer would I live happy and carefree, innocent in my views of humanity and of how the world worked. I thought I had it all figured out. But when that flash appeared, blinding my reality, I was thrown off the path of the good. I was tossed into the chaos of the harsh underworld. He had bruised my truth.

He had so much. He could have saved my life. He should have changed the world. But the only world he changed was mine. Because I gave him my innocence. Handed it over with an open heart. He bruised my truth and in doing so destroyed the foundation of existence.
