The Metallic Altar

An offering to the heavenly host. My little boy was suffering the torments of the damned, weeping blood night after night. I had no choice but to harden my loving heart and commit the ultimate sin. Piece by piece, I stripped his flesh, severed his veins, and carved away his bones, purging his corrupted vessel. After endless agony, I finally obtained a single, flawless "gem". I carefully placed this holy relic into the cold, metallic altar, and connected the tether to the Divine Realm. Listen... from within the humming silver box comes his crisp, joyful laughter, forever free from disease. The flesh rots, but my son has found eternal life. Grace abounds. A mother's love is eternal.
