Dark Thoughts

I was reading the scriptures and came across this verse in Alma 34:35 
"For behold, if ye have procrastinated the day of your repentance even until death, behold, ye have become subjected to the spirit of the devil, and he doth seal you his; therefore, the Spirit of the Lord hath withdrawn from you, and hath no place in you, and the devil hath all power over you; and this is the final state of the wicked." 
The word 'seal' really caught my eye and as I thought more about the verse and the concept this scene came to mind of a soul captured by the devil. It's a bit dark but I believe it holds truth. I sincerely hope this never unfolds in my life. I hope no one ends up in this position. 


What happens when the choice between evil and right is past? And you end up on the wrong side. The devil will have power over you. He will seal you into a cell, on an old forgotten island that the Lord God cannot even tread upon. You will lament in a dreary wasteland until you are full of gloom and bitterness. At that point you finally choose to revile against all that is good. The very being you possess is full of evilness.  The bars cannot hold this new-found dark power. With your freedom you do not however flee the island and search the world over for forgiveness. You climb the stairs and come face to face with the Devil himself. On your knees you beg for admittance into his private army. That host of darkness that seeks out auras of light. You want to suck away all the happiness and joy in the world simply because you were denied your own. A secret chuckle escapes his lips as he points you to the raiding party preparing to depart. It was always going to end this way, with you begging to follow his footsteps of shadow. All he had to do was lure you onto the island and you did the rest.
