The Forbidden Door: A Mercy So Undeserving

By Oluomachi Ekeagwu

Lachish was raised in a home marked by violence, neglect, and loss. Faith was never modeled for him; survival was all he knew. Cyrus, however, was raised in a family rooted in faith. He was taught to walk a narrow path, but after graduating high school and meeting Lachish, everything began to unravel. What starts as a chance encounter quickly grows into a dangerous friendship. Though they are opposites, they crave the same thrill, the same escape, the same hunger for more. And what begins after a night out soon pulls Cyrus into a life of pleasure, power, and reckless desire, opening a door he never meant to unlock. As Cyrus drifts further from the faith that once grounded him, the values he once stood on begin to disappear. Shadows follow him. Whispers grow louder. And with every step deeper into darkness, he senses something else crossed through that open door with him. he is not encountering the same broken boy Lachish once was... he is meeting what that boy left behind.

Not every door can be closed. And some things, once invited in, refuse to leave.

Now, as everything unravels, one question remains:

Is there a power strong enough to close the door Cyrus opened, or is it already too late?
