"Normal" is something I could only dream of being called. "Mental" or "screwed up" is what I'm labeled. But actually feeling other people's pain does that to a girl. I'm not an empath. I'm crazy! That is, until I meet one guy who makes it all go away. The problem is, he's even crazier than me. At least I thought that in the beginning, before the coincidences became undeniable. But, if what he was saying were true, he would not only become my savior, he would also open my eyes to a world filled with angels, demons, witches, and an ancient curse.

Decades ago, the seeds were planted. Today, dark, fathomless eyes rake the image before him. One final task, and the transformation is complete. Steady fingers screw intricately carved horns on each side of a stiff brow, and a gargoyle suitable for Notre Dame scowls from the smoky mirror in satisfaction. A jagged smile rips through his smooth, hairless face, and inked, reptilian scales caress his naked body. A laugh of hideous resonance emanates from his gut as the demons of hell welcome Lucifer into their fold.

Curiosity is such a childish word, right? Not so fast. Just because we grow up, it doesn't mean we should lose our wonder about the world or the people around us. When we do, we lose so much, because curious is how God made us to be. Without curiosity a Christian's life is incomplete. His relationship with God is incomplete.
