Sinner by Erin Trejo

The bible says, “Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them.” I wondered what that meant at the time.

Was I a willing participant? Would I be deemed unworthy of heaven? My life started out normal and beautiful. Church every Wednesday and Sunday. That was until my dad left us and mom remarried. At the time, I was ten. I gained an older brother that I thought would be a protector. I was wrong. He was the darkness that the bible spoke of. Exposing him would mean exposing me and that’s not a choice. So I sunk into the darkness with him and I became something I never thought I’d be. Phoenix was stronger than me. I found safety in him. Until I realized he wasn’t much different. We were all suffering in the dark to some degree. Now we have to wait and see who is the worst of all.
