about

We mistakenly expected the living room to give us comfort and solace. Instead, we found my Luke pacing back and forth like a caged animal. Predatory eyes darted between Ricky and me.

"You may as well take the medals off," he growled. It was not his voice, but it was a voice I recognized. It was the same voice that had been mocking me throughout the entire ordeal. I could feel myself weakening. The St. Michael locket I had slipped under my shirt started to warm. It grew hotter and hotter. It actually began to glow as if it were in a forge.

My boyfriend lunged at me an reached for the locket. Before he could reach me, he shrieked in agony. "Take it off!" he screamed. Again the voice was not his. "You can't hide behind a sliver of bone forever."

I reached down and gingerly took the medal in my hand, expecting the sharp, searing pain of burning skin. I could feel the heat emanating from the small oblong medallion, but it did not burn me. Cautiously, I pried open the locket. Where there should have been miniature portraits was as tiny sliver of bone.

Upon the revelation of the relic, Luke again howled in agony. It started as a small sound deep in his bowel, rising in volume and pitch as it rose through his body until it reached a bloodcurdling scream that shook the entire room. Lamps fell from tables. Pictures violently crashed to the floor from the vibrations that jolted the joists.

He retreated to the far corner of the room, hissing and growling. Curiously, Ricky removed the crucifix from his pocket. Gingerly, he slid the back off of it. Inside was another sliver of bone. We were both armed with relics.

As if on cue, we both moved stealthily toward my boyfriend. We corralled him in a corner. My cousin and I held him down and instructed the others to tie him up. He was restrained. Suddenly, he slumped into a deep sleep.

We took turns watching over him while the others slept.

lyrics

The Revelation

Voice not your own
Eyes hide your soul
“You sought, you found
Let your guard down”

Relic in my hand
Holy guardian
“It’s just a charm
Won’t keep you from harm”

“I am your revelation – a mirror for your soul”
You are no revelation – the dark is all you know

Circle each other
Prey and Hunter
Begin the battle
Souls in the balance

“Come and know me
No escaping”
We’ll not dance tonight
I choose the light

“You’ll come with me
In misery”
Tonight I rise
And win this fight

DiGregorio Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Descend the spiral staircase in front of you. Further, deeper, darker. Voices surround without source, some near, some far. Something moves in the darkness up ahead - is it human? Breathing halts. You cannot move. Hands pull at your arms and legs - but in this kind of darkness, you can’t see a thing.

DiGregorio was born from such a nightmare.
