The Inquisitor

Everyone was afraid of the inquisitor, and none more so than one particular man who had tried so hard and for such a long time to not think about anything other than what was right in front of his nose, because that other was too fearful and too full of pain.

But when it came, and the questions were asked, and the man finally found the courage to look into those dark places he had avoided for all these many years, he felt a huge relief and there was more - the answers to the inquisitor's question were the first steps on a journey that he knew would finally bring him home again.
