Constraint, that’s what this whole story is about. A man has an entire universe in his head, and yet is choked by his words, fooled by is eyes, raped by his touch. This world can only seep slowly through the cracks in his skull before bursting through another. With so many skulls out there, their universes can collide, creating beautiful orgies of space dust, but this is not normal, if that even is a real word.
Thoughts though consuming, some must be had. I am just that, a thought that was had. Unfortunately, I will not be met with open arms, but it won’t be long before I am forgotten. Every second after my entrance, I will be one step closer to the door. Some say the light switch is close to the door of a dark room, but I am closer.
I won’t give life to those that have lived, and I will bring darkness to those that have survived. The splinter that crept into the sole of your foot, if only partially removed DESPITE your best efforts, will call you home. You will remember every step you take for the rest of your life only because your efforts from years past were simply not enough. You may convince yourself that the task was impossible at the time, but you gave no thought to how impossible it would to walk the rest of your life.
Whatever you had, before me, is no more. Like cancer, I will spread into every vital organ of your psyche until there is nothing left but soup. Then, I will shape you to do my will, force you to bleed onto the world, and kill you when I am done with your corpse. At times, I will give you only the slightest sense of control, but I am not an honest man, and I will keep such things from you like holding a carrot to lead a horse to slaughter.
