Have You Looked For Him Here?

By Brandon D. Ray


Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name of God, Mulder,
where are you?   I can't do this without you.  I feel so lost and
alone without you.  I need your help; I need your strength and your
spirit.  I need Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done everything I can
think of; I've looked everywhere I can imagine.  I don't know where on
Earth as it is in Heaven and Earth to save you, Mulder; you know I
would.  But I don't know how much more I can do; I don't know how much
more I have to give us this day our daily bread, and forgive me, but I
*can't* do this alone.  I can't do this without you, because this
isn't my quest alone, anymore than it's *your* quest alone.  It's
*our* trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, but it
never works, because what we have is not our weakness; it's our
strength.  We must follow our own path, no matter where it may lead us
not into temptation to give up and die, but you mustn't do that,
because if you quit now, they win.  I will not give up, even if you
leave me, but deliver us from evil men, Mulder, and they have to be
stopped.  For Samantha, for Melissa, for your father, for thine is the
Kingdom, and the power to save me, Mulder, just as He gave me the
power to save you.  The power and the glory -- the glory of being
alive and being human.  Alone we are less than nothing, but together
we are complete; we make each other whole.  Come back to me, Mulder.
Stay with me, Mulder.  Forever.  Amen.

So far as I know, my fanfic has never murdered anyone, though:

And my fanfic recs certainly don't lie:
