Chambers

You were born a twin but your siblings soul was sent back into the holy light. As an adult your soul is now telling you that the holy light was a lie and that your siblings soul was tortured for eternity. How do you feel?

Sorry for the length of this post I’ve just been annoyed about the concept of the holy light and wanted to explore it a little bit. I hope you enjoy this :) <br><br>I was four years old when I first remember seeing Izzy. It’s strange cause it’s not like I saw him when I was a baby but Izzy tells me that it’s because I wasn’t able to remember it. <br><br>My moms always said that I had a vivid imagination as a kid. She would always say that I had a best friend when I was young but that it was just a product of my imagination running away with me. <br><br>I was four years old when I realised that Izzy wasn’t real but I was thankful because holy shit. Because when I turned four Izzy started acting strangely. <br><br>I remember sitting on my bed one day when he told me to sit down. I was sitting down as much as I could on my bed. This was the first time in my life that I’ve seen Izzy be mad at me. <br><br>“Why are you mad at me Izzy, is it something I did?” I asked him but he didn’t answer. <br><br>“Are you mad cause I’m not eating my veggies” I asked. I hated veggies and was hoping that if I told him I would eat more that he would be happy again. <br><br>Izzy laughed a little but he didn’t stop smiling. <br><br>“Are you okay Izzy? You’re not acting like yourself. Is it cause mom is dating again? It won’t be the same as if dad was here I promise.” I said. <br><br>Izzy chuckled again. <br><br>“Am I doing anything wrong? I don’t like seeing you like this.” I said. <br><br>“I’m not mad at you little bro” Izzy said. <br><br>“Then why haven’t you been hanging out with me” I asked. <br><br>“I haven’t?” He replied. <br><br>“Yep you haven’t! But if you’re not mad at me does that mean we can play now?” I asked. <br><br>“I don’t know little bro. Things have been different recently.” He said. <br><br>“What do you mean?” I asked. <br><br>“Just that things are different okay!?” He said. <br><br>Izzy was mad at me again. <br><br>“Okay sorry Izzy. Sorry if I did anything to make you mad at me. It wasn’t on purpose. I know you’re not real but that doesn’t matter to me. You’re my best friend Izzy and I really don’t like seeing you mad at me.” I said. <br><br>Izzy looked at me before crossing his arms. <br><br>“Your right, things are fine now. Sorry little bro.” He said. <br><br>After that Izzy was acting a lot nicer to me. We were hanging out a lot more too. But he started talking a lot less. <br><br>I didn’t mind cause as long as he was there I didn’t really care. <br><br>When I turned six Izzy started acting crazy again. <br><br>“Hey little brother” He said. <br><br>“Wow I haven’t seen you in ages!” I said happily. <br><br>“Yeah holy shit I know. How are you doing little bro?” He asked. <br><br>“I’ve been pretty good. Been hanging out with my other best friend a lot recently.” I replied. <br><br>“Really? I thought I was your only best friend.” He said. <br><br>“Well you were but then you stopped talking to me so now I’ve got another best friend.” I said. <br><br>“I’m sorry about that.” He said. <br><br>“It’s okay. I’ve had a lot of fun recently.” I said. <br><br>“I thought we were best friends?” Izzy asked. <br><br>“We are! But you weren’t around. Because of that my other best friend is my best friend and you’re just super good friends with me.” I explained. <br><br>“Oh um okay.” He said. <br><br>“You know you never told me awhile back why you were acting strange right?” I asked. <br><br>“When?” Izzy asked. <br><br>“When you were acting strange.” I replied. <br><br>“I don’t remember when I was acting strange.” He said. <br><br>“When I was four and you were acting annoyed at me.” I said. <br><br>“When you were four?” Izzy asked. <br><br>“Yeah it was right before my fifth birthday.” I said. <br><br>“Oh okay.” He said. <br><br>“Anyway what made you mad at me then?” I asked. <br><br>“When?” Izzy asked. <br><br>“When you were angry at me.” I replied. <br><br>“I don’t remember that.” Izzy said. <br><br>“Okay. Maybe it will come to you eventually” I said. <br><br>“Its fine. So little bro what’s going on in your life?” Izzy asked. <br><br>“Well I started going to school recently!” I said excitedly. <br><br>“Yeah! I remember that. How’s that going?” He asked. <br><br>“It’s going well. I get to see my best friend a lot more so it’s been really fun!” I said. <br><br>“Oh and what is your best friends name?” Izzy asked. <br><br>“N-no, I’m your best friend Izzy. My other best friend is my best friend.” I said. <br><br>“Oh okay. Well what is their name?” He asked. <br><br>“H-his name is Bently.” I said. <br><br>“Oh cool. Well do you want to hang out with me?” Izzy asked. <br><br>“Yeah that sounds like it could be fun.” I said. <br><br>“Cool. Little bro can I ask you something?” Izzy said. <br><br>“Of course Izzy. You can ask me anything.” I said. <br><br>“Was mom telling the truth?” Izzy asked. <br><br>“Was she telling the truth about what?” I asked. <br><br>“About you know the holy light and stuff like that.” He said. <br><br>“Oh um yes! Mom told me that my twin died when I was born.” I said. <br><br>“I wasn’t your twin though.” Izzy said. <br><br>“I know I’m just joking with you Izzy.” I said. <br><br>“Its fine. So is the holy light real?” Izzy asked. <br><br>“I thought the holy light was just a myth.” I said. <br><br>“Do you think it is?” He asked. <br><br>“I don’t know. But if what you’re saying is true then its not real.” I said. <br><br>Izzy nodded. <br><br>“You know little bro I’ve been in a lot of pain recently” Izzy said. <br><br>“Why? Was there an accident?” I asked. <br><br>“Accident? Not really.” He said. <br><br>“Did someone hurt you?” I asked. <br><br>“Kind of.” He said. <br><br>“Well is there anything I can do Izzy?” I asked. <br><br>“Yeah there is. But if you do it you will be going against a lot of people.” He said. <br><br>“Yeah. The holy light is a lie. It’s a place to dump souls that don’t make the cut. And I was dumped there.” Izzy said. <br><br>“Oh my holy light! I’m so sorry Izzy! Why would they do that?” I asked. <br><br>“I don’t know. But you have to stop believing in it.” He said. <br><br>“O-okay Izzy. I’m sorry that they did that to you Izzy.” I said. <br><br>And that’s how Izzy made me stop believing in the holy light.
