I think I can only write this horror story in day light or when everyone in the house is awake. I freaked the fuck out last night after watching this:

I had to listen to happy music and watch an episode of Boondocks just to calm down. I'm tense just thinking about it now. My problem with demonic posession is the fine line between what could be posession and what is in all likelihood a mental illness that is treatable with medication and professional help. At the moment it means I need to do more research, which means more of the above, more of me chewing my nails, and interpreting any creak in my home as Satan coming to take me to hell for calling that cyclist who tried to run me over a c*nt.
Now tonight, I'm going to put on a small dress and go to a fancy restaurant for dinner. There are no demons in Knightsbridge. There better not be. I must have a crucifix somewhere. The power of Christ compels you!
See, that would be me. I watched the Exorcist for the first time in the 90s and yeah, it scared the living bejezbus out of me. Slept with every damned light on in the house for a few nights. Um, yeah, possession stuff I don't mess with, but this was an awesome post.
ReplyDeleteOkay when you have a psychotic person look you in the eyes and say, "I know why they sent you", and nothing else you can't figure out if you want the power of Christ to compel them or copious amounts of anti-psychotic medication to but you do keep looking at the door wondering if anyone will hear you scream...or maybe that's just my experience.
ReplyDeleteCharisma, I feel you. I only read the book and I was hiding under my duvet in daylight for protection. Janet, whilst probably the scariest thing I've ever hear,d it's nothing that a secure mental institution couldn't solve. Mmmm secure mental institutions... mmmm
