Frequently so, are the tortures of a devilish chime. Suffocating, praying on those inhabited, who
pay listless attention to its spitting ring, as it would caress the soul.
Thine, however, shall come forth to see truth of a fault! The chime, said
solemnly by the whispers of doubt, and as the torturer of men, may cackle a
false-truth in thine ear, promising sweet and fruit-like delicacies that
outwardly glow of a fresh, inviting image, however inside, are spoiled. And the
Holy Ghost cannot tell who should listen to this devilish chime, likewise man cannot. Yet the intercourse of
sin and man has made a possibilty of a satanic recruit! And those who aspire to
be so, will see the wretched, twisted notes of this chime, and hear its ring,
and advertise its song to others.
Be that as it might,
Roger Chillingworth had taken refuge amongst his thoughts. The sight, upon the
beloved minister's bosom, was in fact previously horrific, yet how fascinating!
thought he, kindling a smile of a snake. Had he known, the dubious thoughts
conceived initially, would have been put onto practice of direct accusations!
Now, the seal of his patient was locked with a tomb of trust. A simplistic
measure surely would've risen to occasion then, now an intense impulse of
events are brewed, never again on a line of verge.
Nevertheless,
Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale has accustomed it necessary to knock, even it being so,
his lodge of comfort. The snake's smile brightens with a burning rage, as it
would ever frighten those whom has seen his face of regular day, in the market
perhaps, for them to flee for the place of Christ, with the urgency of a mad
man. He then heard the chime screaming
of an impeccable note that reached far
beyond, and, yet, Roger Chillingworth implies himself to jump with the might of
many, for its being. The Reverend enters, behind him that of joy, and somewhat
demonic presence . Pearl, looking fondly at the sights of the dim settlement
has taken posture upon a stool. Taken aback, the snake recoils in hurt, and the
recruit well-living inwardly smiles, knowing that of questioning shall go forth
being simple now.
"Ah, Reverend,
there seemed a day foreboding a sight of this. A day, I may imply, where in
which I was seeing your pain lie burning beneath thy vestment." The
physician lingered a moment in what seemed to be remembrance of the discovery.
"Now the clouds of heaven have revealed a tortured Hell beneath the
surface. Even so, the clouds could not mask thy sin. Cover up, seemingly so, as
I have enjoyed your performance, or even a charade of a sick sort. Now, step
forth and exclaim your sin to me. As I have waited, and waited longingly for
the words of heavenly truth-- of heavenly proportions!"
The minister, being
so still, the vultures may have circled his corpse in attempt of meal. Mr.
Dimmesdale thought darkly, how the vultures would be repulsed of his corpse,
mutilated of whips and sin and peck not at his being. He held his heart a
moment, in a moment of weakness, that as we know, Roger Chillingworth had not
missed for a blink, and said, "Forthcoming from my disheveled heart,
doctor, how, being so of your relation to myself, is it implemented of your
cruel judgment to an act, I do not admit I committed? How is it so, of such a
hefty weight upon thy shoulders of only a man, for that weight being my
confessed actions to thou? What, on this earth, has brought a state of this
upon thou?"
"You need not
know," answered the doctor. And the chime, that seemed so bright of
pleasure and torture dimmed then.
A breath was taken
by, what seemed, all three personas at one moment. That moment, of joined
unison, broke a tension of unspoken words. So, then, the dam cracked and
shriveled away, releasing a flood of emotions unknown to most in that said
room.
Pearl had set
herself still upon the stool, and felt what the two men felt. As she, a
combination of heaven and hell knew the wall of good and evil, and could
perform both, and was simply a smart little girl. "Please," joined
she of plea for moments that seemed to endure. "Mother, where has she
gone? Mother is my protector."
Roger Chillingworth
had taken a breath for serenity in his room, God knowing the doctor needed
dearly that peace, but as the others had taken breaths for all different
reasons, his patience for this confrontation, had broken into a million pieces
as his eruption shattered it. "Who created thou, littlest Pearl?"
Exclaimed he, now grasping the tiny thing's hands. "Thou must know who
created you!"
The physician took a
choppy step back in reluctance, of shock, for hearing no chime. The minister's
hand shook with a trembling fear in which corrupted his entire being. And the
girl, cast her eyes upwards lingering a smile, and rose her hand, and pointed
to the Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale. And his eyes filled with tears.
Taking her hands,
and pressing them preciously upon his chest, his heart, the minister asked,
"My Pearl, has mother revealed this to thou?"A flick of her luscious
hair to either sides of her being implied no.
With the silence
gathering in the room, such a deadly silence is threatened a great deal of harm
to Roger Chillingworth, and he had now acquired eyes of a snake, red, glowing,
and powerful. "Woud'st thou explain why? Why here, in this moment, now?"
The Reverend
answered meekly, "Littlest Pearl found her way here, startling myself a
great deal."
"Out!"
came a shrill of alarm from the doctor. His eyes, as he is the satanic recruit,
could not hear the chime that had once encircled the poor being of the
Reverence Mr. Dimmesdale. The doctor, as he had once assumed, need not harm the
minister for his crime committed. It was Hester, the name churning in his soul,
grinding his inner happiness, who had betrayed him. The Reverend hadn't known
even the slightest of the doctor's true identity. And with a rage of many,
Roger Chillingworth, with the eyes of snake, protruded out of his comforting
home, and went for Hester.
The Reverend, unable
to hear thoughts of others, stared confused at the door. Despite confusion,
however, was his relief of conscience,
so being that the chime that promised himself release of pain had died.
It died in agony, ripping through its torso, broke the heart in two. For the
sacrifice now, was the combination of heaven and hell, and was Pearl, staring
fondly into the eyes of Mr. Dimmesdale, in such a way of inspiration and
admiration that only a child could possess.
"It is
gone," said the little thing. "I cannot hear its ringing."
Again, in confusion,
the Reverend asked his daughter, "My littlest Pearl, please explain
further."
"The chime is
gone."
Tears came, again,
by of course the Reverend. Filled with such emotion of an earthly saint, that
his eyes filled as well. Mr. Dimmesdale had emotion of many. Roger
Chillingworth had rage of many. Pearl had so much, too much, that she captured
the hearts of many.
And now, her father.
