Demons in the dark
Here's a little something I came up with today... might make it into a story or something...
There's a demon inside of me. He sleeps and becomes restless. It has an unfathomable power. There's a door inside of me that can lead to this demon. This door can lead either to demon or to a good, unbelievable power within me. The demon has been wakened before and his destructive powers have been shown. It scares me. Although he's asleep, he can still talk to me. "Why do you fear the darkness?" He says. "Because that power is destructive," I reply. "Then why do you cherish the light? Does not the light destroy the darkness? Does it not eradicate all that the dark brings?" I have no reply to this. "You long for it, this destructive power. A part of you yearns for it, desires it, even lusts to have it." To this I have no reply again.
I can open this door one of two ways. Either to the demon, or to elsewhere. If I open the door to the demon, he shall possess me and I shall do as he bids. I may end up destroying everything, myself included. If I choose the other door, my body may be led to "light".
I've opened both doors on occasion; however, it hasn't been on purpose. The good side has opened up without me even thinking about it. A power just overtakes my body and I do what I need to do. I lose myself to this power and wake when it is not needed anymore. The down side is that this power could possibly destroy my body if I push it hard enough. Similarly, the demon side opens up. His power envelopes my body and posseses me. It turns me into an outrageous monster with nothing to stop it; or at least it would if the door were fully open and the demon completely awake. The only thing that stopped it was the very tiny part of my mind that said "Stop, before someone gets hurt!" Eventually it backs off and dies down, but not without any damage.
I've more, but don't feel like writing it right now.
