A Biography From Within.

By Marcy MaciasPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

We use to be shadows on walls. Scribblings of black ash from the camp fire. The things you see out of the corner of your eye but can never get a fix on. The things your pet stares at with curiosity and fear. We've been around for eons though. While science will have you believe its not supernatural, that there is some type of explanation for it all, I can honestly tell you that there is not. . . at least not all of it.

You see, the only thing that is all encompassing is, balance. It applies to everything and anything in any verse. If there is some type of existance there has to be balance. So a little chaos is alway needed. We are a part of that chaos. The reason why science and religion can not explain away these things is simple, they choose not to work together. If you want peace you must preapre for war, which I find alarmingly funny because this was 4th century.

While humans are busy with their lives, ours is pretty much an airport. Business, vacations, getaways, road trips, and even retirement. We are always going somewhere, i guess you could saw we are a lot like sharks, if we stop, we die. Which is mostly true. There is a shelf life though, but each of us is different.

From creation we are never children, in fact the only thing i can tell you the truth about is what we are. A collective of fear. Our strength and numbers all reside on humans incapability of controlling their fear. And we have all sorts of fun names, but I believe the most common of all names is, demon. So before we start I suppose I should give a fair warning, whether you believe in any of this or not makes no difference to us. Once we are in theres no coming out.

While I can not tell you about others like me, I can tell you about my story. I've been around for a few hundred years and I am still learning from others. But I find myself stuck at the moment. Not all of us are here to create a major up roar, or to make a giant impact, just enough to ruin someone's life. I know there are movies and books and religions that say that they can "cast us out" but thats not how it works. Balance is the key.

At first I was here to observe. Hash out some detail and see some tasks get processed. The I was able to venture on my own and I landed in this young thing. No one of real importance, but the plan was to remain the same, strife and chaos and all that. Humans, unlike demons, are unpredictable. Do not get me wrong, some are dull and predictable but for the most part humans will change their mind at the drop of a hat.

Mostly out of spite, fear, rejection or being petty. Humans quite literally cause their own chaos and ruin that we honestly do not have to do much. This humans story, while boring and uneventful, has me locked in a trance and dare I say, had a change of heart. While not much os known about us, the only secrets I can reveal are that of mine. And since this will be my personal biography, I do not see why I should not.

Shall I start off where it would be easy and draw the reader in? Or at the simple beginning that would indefinitely explain everthing, leaving nothing to the imagination. Humans and their imagination, by far the worst thing that has ever been given to them.
