I can feel the demons breath upon my neck...hear the tell tale gossamer wings beat about above me....he has been chasing me forever it seems for as far back as I can remember I have been hauntedby the images of death more grisly then one can imagine pulsing through my brainlike a white hot knife.  I must rid myself of the demon...if but for awhile perhapsI can sedate this demon if a small sacrifice can be made...yes anything to rid myself of this madness....then too 2 fools do I see...basking in my savage garden.I shall be the one to have this forbidden fruit...Fink the ogre.He is slightly hurt.

The blood drips upon the forest floor running in rivulets from my forearms and blades creating a pool of blood.  The excitement fades from me and I get down on my knees in horrid affixiation I look into the face that stares back atme from the pool of blood.  By the GODS....all this time I have been running...all this time the Demon has followed me through years of plight I have been slowlydying trying to lose myself from this Demon. But the Demon...the Demon is me.Fists are clenched until fingernails break through the skin and blood begins topour from my fingers...but I dont care...I am lost.  Lost to the madness that Ihave let control me for far too long.
