Micah's Birthday

Gabriel stood in the shadows watching them enjoy the cake. It should be him at the table, not Micah. Well they wouldn't be celebrating long. Soon he would move out of the shadows he had occupied since his twin absorbed him in their mother’s womb. She thought Micah was wonderful, her gift from God, but he was a demon and must be stopped.

Micah raised a piece of cake to the shadows, he knew Gabriel would come for him soon and he was ready. His mother followed Micah’s gaze with a smile on her face. Her boy was a dreamer.
