“Hold on. We really are that worthless in relation to Lacey?“ asks a scared reader.
Yeah. You are in regard to lots of people cool-kid.
“Oh my God! That’s so not my thing. I’m a superior person!” says a group of dumbass, pretentious twats.
No. You’re only going to avoid Hell through God’s mercy over your immense stupidity possibly. Good luck. Right?
“Holy shit!” says a Catholic priest. “This could be real. Lacey…I’m sorry you don’t hear better answers about reincarnation. …I’m genuinely worried. Really.
Lem…isn’t who you died thinking he was. I highly doubt it. And…it sounds like in your fallen mind…your perception of things has only gotten more dark. You’re not off… I’m not going to gaslight you. But…I don’t think you know God’s heart for you or how Lem felt or feels.”
Later.
“I tried to say something but was interrupted. That’s all true.
It’s been a difficult morning.
Lacey has been heavily attacked by demons the last two nights.” says Lem.
“And you really haven’t been able to express yourself or explain yourself?” asks the Catholic priest of Lem.
“No! Not at all, really.” says Lem.
Meanwhile Bobby and Jack wrestle with each other’s heads crashing into each other. Teeth grinding and gritting.
“It was my honor first.” says Joe Kennedy Junior.
“What!?” asks a Millennial of Joe.
“No. Really. It was mine.” says Joe. “I died trying to keep it.”
“I would have given it to you anyway.” says Joe Kennedy Senior.
“That wasn’t clear!” says Joe Kennedy Junior, sharply before walking off.
“Oh my god! I’m so overwhelmed! What’s going on right now!?” Jack Kennedy has Lem’s demon say to Lacey in 2023. This is happening outside of time. He hopes to confuse Lacey into thinking Lem is the demon version of him.
“You know…that can’t be Lem if you can control him that much.” says Joe Kennedy Junior to JFK.
Jack stares at him a smiles maniacally. “Okay. Sure!” he says, indignantly.
“Hey! Lem’s mine.” says Bobby grinning.
Jack looks too angry to speak. He blinks. Then he charges for his nephew to kill him…but God protects as Bobby is still the child in their relationship and it’s unfair. And He can still protect Bobby. So the distance between Jack and Bobby is never ending. Jack ends up basically jogging in place to try to attack Bobby. In about three hours Jack tires himself out and breathlessly falls to the ground suffering from a heart attack. And of course he’s not going to die as he’s already dead…but the heart attack is still quite painful. He rolls around on the ground in pain, wincing and holding his chest.
