loving family man with a gentle heart. He became her close friend and gave her hope during those trouble times with President Langston. He never tried to convert her. He was curious about what type of religion she practiced. Nor did he say anything negative about it. When he asked about the monotheist religion that she used to practice, he became amazed by its philosophy. He was good to her, and he became her first true friend on the Earth. But her relations with other Christians were poor, mainly because they treated her like crap. There was this one Christian who lived in her apartment building who once asked her, ‘Do you go to church?’ and Vaistll, being honest, said, ‘No,’ and then she (the Christian) said, ‘Why not?’ Vaistll didn’t say anything, or thought much about it at the time, but it summed up her relations with some Christians - disrespectful and hypocritical. They were hypocritical in the sense of; this one woman once told her that Christians love to talk about their religion, but when you talk about yours, they act like they don’t want to hear it. Vaistll didn’t say anything because to her at the time, it sounded like hearsay. Later this one man in her apartment building asked her about her religion, and Vaistll told the truth, ‘I’m a pagan. I believe in…’ He then cut her off and said, ‘Well I believe in God and Jesus. And I’m glad that my soul is saved.’ After that Vaistll started to think that maybe it isn’t hearsay after all. In another incidence this preacher’s wife asked her, ‘Did you accept Jesus into your heart?’ Once again Vaistll told the truth; ‘No,’ and then the preacher’s wife went on for about 10-20 minutes, talking about a bad day that she had with her car and how this group of good Christian boys came to help. Vaistll wasn’t paying any attention; she found it to be so rude and disrespectful of the woman. Vaistll found herself thinking to herself, ‘How do you know that they where Christians? Did you ask? Would it matter to you if one of them was a Jew or a Muslim? If you had a bad day with your car and a group of atheists came to help you out, would you seriously tell them to get lost? Why do you assume that they are Christians?’ Later, before the preacher’s wife left, she tried to push some religious stuff on Vaistll. She said, ‘Hear take it,’ and Vaistll had to tell her more than once, ‘No.’ Vaistll was at somebody’s place at the time, trying to socialize, so it was not like she could just get away.
      The worst incidence that Vaistll had with Christians came from her neighbor, who lived just a few feet away on the same floor as she did. It was a couple, the Drayton’s. They were quite nice to Vaistll, eventually winning her over. They always seemed quite happy, ready to lend a helping hand to people in need. In time Vaistll told them that she was suffering from PTSD, and she doesn’t like to talk about it. They were kind enough not to persuade her to talk about what caused her traumatic experience. Then one day while Vaistll was taking a shower, she had a flashback of the most traumatic event in her life. She was trying to remain calm, and repeatedly telling herself, ‘It’s all just a bad dream. I’m safe now.’ She got out of the shower holding her washcloth tightly in her hands. Trying her best to stay in control (and fearing what might happen if she lost control) she grabbed that nano-cloaking device to make herself look like a human. She then left her apartment and went over to the Drayton’s. Luckily they were at home, but they saw a very pitiful site. Vaistll was standing there, naked and still holding the washcloth tightly in her hands. Vaistll was trembling, not because she was wet and cold, but it was because of both the fear and the terror. Realizing that Vaistll was having a flashback they let her in. They were just shocked to see all of those scars on her body. Mrs. Drayton said, ‘Oh, my GOD! What happen to
