Inner demons
We all have our inner demons, but allow me to elaborate that fact.
I have my own special inner demon, with a mind of its own. It isn't a philosophical representation of all the bad things I've done. It is an alternate personality. Another self, if you will. Thus it feeds on the darkness within me. It grows stronger.
With each drop of blood that hits the floor, its thirst for violence diminishes. It is calm. It takes its unnatural state of physical being. It becomes me, or do I become it? We are one in the same. My life is a foolish endeavour, knowing that everything ends as it begins. incomplete darkness.
Such is the fate of mortals.
The blood is still in the air. How it lingers on. The freshness of the body awakens it again. It hungers once more.
The blood flows naturally out of her neck, it is hunched over, lapping up the red liquid with joy. It then takes her remains to where ever it goes and hides her away. Foolish creature.
It became clearer to me of what I had to do. I had to learn to control it, for years I had hid myself away from the scrutiny of the world, closing myself from any outside contact which I hadn't met beforehand. My friends were worried for my sanity, what was left had already been tattered and torn to a point where if it was a piece of cloth, it would not fit around my little toe. I awoke once more, within the darkened hell hole that was my bedroom. I quietly walked down the stairs, the sweetest smell filling my nostrils. The black liquid was once able to keep the demon at bay, but not anymore.
It screeched, screamed out in pain. It was hungry.
It was one fateful rainy day, the trees bristling in the wind. Each raindrop a symphony to be lost in the cacophony of life. The noise smothering the now long dead silence.
I stood opposite him.
He drew his blade.
I knew what must be done.
It took over, its host was threatened.
As quickly as it began, it was over. The creature held his head up high in delight as it feasted upon the body.
But then I realised what had happened.
What choice did I have….
I ran.
We split.
It stayed.
