Demon Slayer

I'm not sure yet what the title will be. Enjoy.

Heaven and Hell are on Earth. No, not metaphorically. I am talking literally on Earth. Hell isn’t located in the molten center, and Heaven isn’t up in the clouds somewhere. The fact that there are people who think so, is ridiculous. No, Heaven and Hell are surrounding us. Almost no one can see these separate planes. A few more people can sense them, and a few more than that can communicate with them. Those two usually come together.

My name is Sydney and I have seen Heaven and Hell. I don’t know why I was chosen and sometimes I wish I hadn’t been. I’ve been able to see it all for as long as I can remember. My parents put me in a hospital when I was 8, and I was diagnosed with chronic Schizophrenia. After months of group therapy and pills that turned me into a zombie, I started lying. They were never going to believe me anyways. I was finally released the day before my 9th birthday. Being away from my parents was hard, but being away from my sister felt like I was being ripped in half. My twin sister, Lacey. She was my best friend and soul mate.

When I got home the morning that my father picked me up at 5:30am, I immediately ran upstairs to our room and climbed into bed with her.

“Sydney”, she smiled sleepily, and we both began crying. The connection we had was indescribable and pure. I know that there are people out there who will try to pervert it in some way, but it wasn’t even close to anything like that. We shared a womb, we shared our nourishment, and we even shared a pinky. Her right pinky and my left were fused together when we were born. They were easily separated, and now we have only small identical scars as proof. Oddly enough, she was right handed and I am left handed. Well I suppose I am ambidextrous, as I wield my swords in each hand.

Oh, yes. I forgot to mention this...

I am a demon slayer.
