I Am

 I am the shadow that lurks in your home. The thing that startles you when all is too quiet. The other metaphorical shoe that drops when you expect it, or the snag in the plan when you least expect it. 

I am the destroyer of all in the world. Death reveres me. Disease falls to its knees in fear. Anger calls me its Master. War calls me its Commander. I am the truest suffering of all mortal and immortal kind alike. I lord over all forms of suffering, no matter what the form. All suffering carries out my orders in full adoration of my plans and machinations. I am the divine cause of all that you consider to be unethical or immoral in your smudge of an existence. I am the other side of the coin. 

And now here I am, stuck in this fucking teenage girl's body with a brain that only carries one brain cell! 

Oh, please, it's not that bad up there! I keep it clean and tidy, just like my adorably pink Hello Kitty-themed room! 

If there was a deity kind enough to get me out of this predicament, I would have begged already. 

But there isn't, is there, big guy? You know, I was told you were more ... evil than this. After all, you are a prince of darkness and de- de- what did they call you again?

The Prince of Darkness and Debauchery, you insolent girl!

What was it again? I was too busy putting on another layer of lip gloss. This new gloss is fire.

I will show you fire once I-

Ooo, really? Do you have one of those cool electric-lighter fire things that could help me light my candle?

Ugh, I am already sick of you. We-

You mean I. 

WE just woke up an hour ago, and you are only sitting in bed, staring at yourself in the mirror while you apply some gel to your barely pubescent lips!

Don't rush me! I have to get ready for school today. 

Your education is not in cosmetology! It is barely enough of an education to push you through the system I created to enslave you to a piece of society that is meant to suck out your miniscule brain cell the fastest! 

I have more than one, thank you very much.

You have only one. And it is stuck to the smoothest edge of your skull cavity that shields the part of your brain that should be for your new hormones that are coming soon. 

Hormones? What are those again?

They are my favorite minions for mortals your age. They do the nastiest work, making sure you risk sanity and limb for the most trivial of events and people. It is where some of my best work in human degrading shines! The things you are willing to do to your mind and body during this part of your life will haunt you until your deathbed, if my minions follow my orders to the letter.

Oh, right. Sure. Because they will totally do that while I'm in church with-

With Nikki and Matt, the two people in your youth group that you have fantasies about? I believe you want to kill Nikki to get a chance with Matt for ... well, sexual pleasure.

Hey! Stop that! Just because you are stuck in my body with me doesn't mean you get to bring that stuff up. 

But dear mortal, that's part of my enjoyment you are stripping away. What else am I supposed to do in this vast cave of a skull. 

Sit there? Count the dots on the school ceiling with me?

No. I refuse to do so. I will bring my dominion to yours, and you will be the vessel that aides me in this. Just because your god or the other ones-

There are other ones?

Of course there are other ones. Now shut up. As I was saying, Just because your god or the other ones put me in your body as some sort of punishment doesn't mean I cannot bend you to my will and actually make you work to my benefit. 

And you are telling me this... why?

So you can watch in horror as I take over your body and mind to do my bidding. You will soon be the outsider of this vessel, watching in horror as I bring my kingdom to yours.
