Long
ago and far away in a neighborhood that time forgot, lived a most
unhappy, troubled, tortured soul. Some rightfully are wary of it, yet
others will engage it out of fear of reprisal. It traverses the peaks
and valleys with an eerie wild look on it's face, sometimes just
stopping to stare, yet unseeing, with those dark foreboding eyes.
Some believe it is plotting and planning what dark deeds to unleash upon it's unsuspecting prey. Cold chills tingle and shiver down one's spine just thinking of an encounter with it. All hours of the night and day does this thing troll the neighborhood, stirring up dissension and gossip, should anyone ever muster enough courage to get close to speak to it.
Oh yes, some will engage for they are it's minions, ever at the ready to do it's bidding; hanging on every malicious and foul word that spews from it's crooked, lying mouth. And once you engage with it you are under it's spell of lies and twisted sense of logic. Absolute control of every situation and the hunger for more and more power is what feeds this thing, confusion and strife are mere appetizers.
Whether the dark of night or twilight before dawn, you might catch a glimpse, as it slinks back into the shadows, hoping to remain undetected as it patiently waits for those unsuspecting souls. It cannot help itself, because it does not understand the Light. The Light of Truth, Honesty and Integrity are it's eternal enemies; it cannot understand what it does not comprehend. It is the absence of Light. It is the origin of all lies, deceit and every evil scheme born. And then there are those who pretend they don't understand the difference between right and wrong, just so they can continue to be dishonest, spreading confusion and strife. This serves the darkness well.

It only has power if you allow yourself to compromise a little here, or a tiny bit...just one time, there. Should this happen, you have made it very happy, and it will continue to pull you in, piece by piece, til you lose your very own soul. Such has been the fate of many.
