Prophet or Sinner?

“A prophet’s job is never done.”
The words repeat themselves.
“A prophet’s job is never done.”
“A prophet’s job is never done.”
They grow louder and louder. The only way I can stop them is by doing it. I don’t like doing it.
Sometimes I think it’s the voice of God, telling me that it needs to be done again.
Sometimes I’m convinced it’s some demon tormenting me and he won’t stop untill I do it.
Most of the time, I just think I’m crazy. But even if that’s the case, I have to do it. I tried medication, it doesn’t help. The only thing that helps is doing it. If I don’t… Well let me tell you about the first time.
I had just sat down with my friends at a coffee-shop. But when the waitress came over to take our orders, the voice started.
“A prophet’s job is never done.”
“A prophet’s job is never done.”
At first it was a whisper. I managed to ignore it. But it grew…
That night was horrible. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t think. Somehow I knew I had to do it. I went to the coffee-shop and waited outside.
