Peripheral Evil Part 6 (The Grail Eyes)

“Mom i hate this drive to Aunt Claire’s.”
“Your aunt lives in new orleans it’s fun.”
The place was a convention of shapes that slither and crawl. Every creature in the morbid armada watched him.
“Sull the Voodoo Museum.”
“No i’ll just sit out here.”
He sat on the stoop and didnt notice the long dread locks under him.
“Sorry sir.”
“You got the grail eyes? huh”
“I don’t know what, i gotta.”
The man rapped his cane against the old building, and the world froze.From the gnat crawling on sullies eye, to the old lady peddling shots in front of the strip bar’s cigerette smoke, nothing breathed.
“Hold out your right hand.”
The boy reached out his hand and the man curled the boys fist around the charm.
“Put it in your pocket, and when you get home put it under your mattress it’ll help you,but don’t look at it,or you have to pay for it.”
Rap
Sully walked in the moving world, and after a few blocks examined the charm, till his phone rang.
“hello.”
SULLY THEY TOOK MY LIL SIS , SHADOWS TOOK HER
