"I can feel her. I can see her. I can hear her whimpers like a drowning child. Let her scream for me, let the blood drain from her face and her eyes shiver and her breath go limp. I want her to see all of who I am, all of who WE ARE!"
" Shut up. FUCK YOU! You're just a ghost, a specter in my psyche trying weasel his way out of extinction. I'm never gona let you out, your gona scratch at the back of my mind until my bones are dust"
"You can't keep me down forever it's only a matter of time before I infect your muscles and your humanity washes away in an ocean of blood. I'll be there to pull you out of the fire and throw you into the pit, then I will be the master and you'll wither away"
rock glared at the mirror in front of him, the bad times were coming again. He kept his rage bottled up and sealed tight "He" would like an outburst, a response. Rock kept his rampage sealed inside himself as to not slip into chaos. It's getting harder for rock to force a smile.
A knock is heard on the door
"If it's about the rent I left it at your door this morning"
"it's me rock, open up"
"benny?"
Rock opens the door and is met with a stern look. Benny walks in, and the door slowly creeks shut.
"Benny….. You need to forget what happened. It wasn't me you saw that night"
"but it was you rock, I saw your eyes. Your pupils weren't dilated and your eyes weren't reaching for the back of your skull. I wanted to believe you were possessed that something or someone was controlling you that night or even that you snapped under pressure, but no. It was you that night rock, it was you.
Rock lights up a cigarette and stares out the window, the rising sun casting shadows over everything. The light makes its way into the room, benny stares at rocks Smokey silhouette.
"She can't know benny. I don't give a dam if this whole city turns on me so long as I'm the same in her eyes"
"I already swore not to tell anyone so you don't have to worry"
Rock sucks in a lungful of smoke and leisurely lets it escape his mouth
"I don't hear voices…. Except one. I don't strangle cats or anything like that either"
"what are you telling me rock?"
"I want to believe I'm not a bad person but this city…"
rock takes a moment to exhale
"It's bringing out the worst in me"
