Killing the Devil

I get from the intro and the "again" question that this is an ongoing process. There are some things that simply never stay buried until you are ready to forgive...and even then, forgiving is not forgetting.

By asking "Will you help me kill the devil tonight - again?" at the beginning, I was trying to imply that it's an ongoing process, that "the devil" has to be killed over and over because it keeps coming back to life. Unfortunately, you can't easily edit postings once they are published on AC. There are a few of mine I'd love to be able to tweak.

Powerful, but brief. I think is ceases just as the reclamation is climaxing. I think it could be more empowering if the act was more drawn out. After such a horrific experience, the brevity suggests an ease to overcome.

This is a beautiful picture of redemption...excellent writing.

Wow, strong content! Excellent Picture! Really great writing!
