I’m not crazy.
I’ve felt evil they don’t have a name for. The kind you look at and know that what’s looking back at you has no soul. I don’t go a day not looking over my shoulder. The Baphomet is there, even when it isn’t. You don’t escape that kind of nightmare. You carry it with you. You see it everywhere, in everything. For two years it has haunted me.

I couldn’t breathe. I tried to scream, but retched. It felt like the prickly legs of a thousand cockroaches crawling up my throat. On my hands and knees. A torrid swept over me so intensely it bubbled the flesh of my face. I writhed. Then I ran hysterical, clutching my throat, legs like dead weight. Dizzy. At my heels. Closing in.

Speaking of "Mr. Creative Writer," for purposes of writing an informative research paper on the first year of Reagan's Presidential Term, do you think, "fraught with peril" is a bit too dramatic a description? He did have an assasination attempt withing the first couple of months...
I tend to overdue things for research papers because I hate writing them. They stifle my creative yearnings. |
