Soul Light

Sally's Discovery

Sam continued berating his invisible guest while his eyes encroached something else that was happening outside his boxed in held beliefs. A woman emerged from the building wearing the same hat, but covered with glasses that were to anonymous to be inconspicuous. While from the opposite side a man was rounding the corner followed by a outraged group of reporters who tried to publicize him the way they wanted him to appear to the public. It was one of the very techniques that his company had put into place with their books used now on their very own employee. The irony was cunning with it's deliverance. Sam got out of the vehicle and slowly followed behind the group of reporters hiding under their shadows. Tau quickly ran to the room of baths to get away from the fiasco while Sam casually followed him in without the group being any the wiser.
"Tau I'm sorry to bother you especially in the Room of Baths, but I'm trying to find something out."
Tau looked over at the man while he was in the midst of catching his own breathe and sanity. "You followed me in here? Can't I just get a moment for myself? I understand what I did was going to have an affect, but this is ridiculous! Don't you think? If a man can't get some alone time in the House of Baths what hope is their for any of us?" he was tired. Depleted of all the energy he mustered to make the announcement. From that day it became a daily dose of energy exhaustion from the reporters, his companies workers, and even the Hippie movement although this was never their intention.
"I understand how this looks, but Tau I'm here because no matter where I look, I can't find your announcement. In fact I'd say it's safe to say that all this hype is brought about by your own company while they omitted anything connected to your recent statement. I'm sorry to bother you, but if you want to fix the group of never ending parading reporters, the barrage of complaints that are thrown at you, you're going to have to help me help you!"

He was confused. Tau made the announcement using the top rated exposure of the times. How could it have disappeared? Could the company that he worked so hard for have sabotaged his own pre-planned sabotaging of the company? It wasn't intended to do any harm, just to go against the grain as he had stated. "What do you mean you can't find my announcement? Why are these people following me then if they don't know what I said?"

Tau spoke with a hesitant trust.

"This is what I'm trying to figure out. There is no direct connection to your announcement with your company. However since you made it the company has created an uproar around your very statement without anyone knowing really what you said to the public. Isn't

that one of the very techniques they developed? Isn't that exactly what all their publishings actually are trying to build? It almost seems that you could be the catalyst for this to take place! They are using you Tau to build the foundation they have been working on in the shadows. Even Hill has said...."
A feeling of terror shot through Tau. "How do you know Hill? She stands for everything that is wrong with the company right now! No she's the single representation for what is wrong with the world and you dare say her name to me? She's tried to ruin my life throughout my career and if it weren't for the FAWS I wouldn't even be a writer."

"Apologies, but Hill has defended you on an anonymous blog. She's spoken against the people you work for with their ridicule toward your work behavior. She's actually quietly trying to work on fixing the same issues you are speaking of now, but behind the scenes. I know because I'm a reporter and that's what I do."

"Ah now it makes sense. A reporter. Ok I have to go. You have wasted your time and more importantly your own. Thanks, but I'm not authorizing any of this for your report and there will be problems if I hear so much as a flitter of this in the media!"

"Tau listen. I'm not that type of reporter. No one knows the stories I research during my down time. I'm an investigator for the Impossible Mysteries and right now I've been looking into the book Written in the Stars and it's lead me here." quietly in desperation Tau asks Kindred again for some kind of help only to find Sam asking the unthinkable, the impossible, the unimaginable. "Tau have you heard of the name Kindred lor?"

Tau was frozen. The name was a ghost haunting him from his own failed achievements. The name burrowed into his heart and dug up memories of when he first encountered the stories of the name hidden in the many books he read over the span of his life. Continuously resurfacing when he finally thought Kindred Lor was gone. No matter what subject, no matter what visi-motion he watched, or even the meditations he would try to influence with his soul. Kindred would appear again and here in his waking life Kindred had found him through the most curious of circumstances. During the most confusing yet confident times in his life. Was it the piece of puzzle his soul had been seeking? Was the key to everything? Was Kindred Lor something more real than what he had learned of?
"How....How is that possible? Who are you? I never told anyone of that except for my co-worker and he never takes me serious. He's too egotistical to share something that he didn't first make up. I've always known this. It's the only reason I share it with him. It's how I know I have something good. So friend tell me now how you have come to this name? Assuming you have without first coming across my co-worker who I won't name."

"Tau.....you won't believe me. Hell I don't even believe it. But he's come to me in a dream and he hasn't left. He won't leave in fact. I try to prove him wrong with his confusing guidance, but I always end up the fool in the end. He's the reason I found you. He's the reason I'm here at this precise time. Otherwise I would of followed my own thinking which leads me constantly to dead ends. He's the one whose helped me remember my dreams finally. You don't understand how long it's been since I could do that. I'm rambling on now. It's ridiculous I know, but....." he began to feel defeated. That Sam's only chance for Tau to believe him had vanished effortlessly from his opportune moment. "I'm sorry I bothered you. I'll never bother you again. Good luck Tau with everything. I only wanted to help." Sam began to walk to an exit with undefined understanding hiding behind it. Back to a world without having any more answers than he did before he found the man Tau looking back at him.
Tau spoke quickly to get Sam's attention "You can't leave. Not yet. For your own sake, for your own soul, you must stay. After all you haven't heard the announcement I made have you? Wouldn't that be worth reporting tonight so other's can hear my statement as well?"

Sam looked back at Tau as hope filled his previously depleted energy giving him belief that Kindred Lor was something more than he could fully comprehend. "Absolutely Tau! I won't....he gulped I won't go anywhere until you give the full statement.
