The Fear Demon

Payton took an involuntary step backwards as the cloudy dark shape began to gel and assume a more solid form. She gasped as it moved forward and she began to see its features clearly. Clearly, this was no bunny!

The thing (for that is how she thought of it at this point) was large. It towered over Payton. Its skin was concurrently pussy, gangrenous and slick. So tightly was the things skin stretched across its frame that Payton first thought it was wearing a vile rubbery wetsuit. Its head was an angular asymmetrical shape and seemed too large by half – even for that colossal body. There was a ridge of coarse, stiff hair of indeterminate color running across the middle it the things head from ear to ear. At least, Payton thought those were ears. She wouldnt have bet even a plug nickel on it though.

Great. thought Payton. Just frigging great. In the back of her mind she heard Alice Cooper begin to sing throatily Welcome to my nightmare. I think youre gonna like it

The creature stopped a few paces from Payton and stood there looking at her through enormous lidless almond-shaped golden orbs. Payton waited to see what would happen. Nothing did. Payton shifted her weight uneasily from foot to foot. She hated waiting. To top that off, it was very warm and the air seemed very heavy and close.

Well, she said. Whats your point? More TO the point who, or what, are you?

The creature took a step forward, and as it moved a chillingly feverish voice began filling Paytons mind.

I am terror, anxiety, angst, panic and trepidation. But thats not all.

The voice got louder and echoed in Paytons head. I am chills, horror, jitters, dis-ease, doom and nightmares. I am cold sweats, pounding hearts and paralysis.

The voice had grown louder with each word. Payton grabbed her head with both hands in a futile effort to block out the final sentence as it roared through her brain.

I am FEAR and I am in charge.

Payton bowed her head and wept.

thanks for your note. yes, it is hard, but worth every single ounce…I wish you success at finding who you are and where you’re going. I struggled with that for a long time…in fact, sometimes I still struggle with it.

very interesting. 🙂

Wow, what a great combination of the mysticism and reality! The aspects of great writing. RYN: thank you so much for your visit and remarks. It’s nice meeting you too.

So THAT’S what whosis meant when he said “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” Makes so much more sense now. By the way, I am having a major blast with my current story line. Too funny.

Time fer quick chat?

very powerful

sounds like someone i once dated 😉 this is , as usual , very good .

what a great way to describe an anxiety attack! fear is powerful partner if we can handcuff and sedate it.

Entry to be continued rather like a serial! By the way can’t help noticing Payton becomes Peyton and then back again. A quick change lady! Good to see you so into the writing…Alexias

fear is a common enemy we all have to some degree, eh?
