80 pedestrian revulsion. “Onlooker, you seem distraught. Do not fret, my nubile hominid. I have known of your presence since before we entered this damned wood, and could have removed you from the narrative of life before I was birthed. As you can tell, I am inseparably attached to this whore. Though powerful in supernatural ways that could topple your cities with the ease of waves against sandforged sculptures, I still require a body with which to perform the requisite gestures of destruction. You seem to have adequately survived the maelstrom of my mother’s attempted portal to the subterranean realms. Good, you will be an excellent host to my spectral self. Oh, do not look so frightened. You will retain your mind and senses. I will simply operate the body of my own volition. Together, we will commit atrocities that even the most sadistic of your kind could not conjure in the evilest of dreams. Accept this fate, there is nothing else left for you. I have subsisted in the timeless, inescapable oblivion as nothing but a formless wisp of screams and nightmares. I will enjoy myself as a corporeal entity, in you.” That monstrous, enveloping darkness again returned and consumed my senses. I felt a presence wrap itself around my body completely enclosing my form, and dragging me into some indescribable mire of darkness.

I tried to stand, tried to make some kind of movement to affirm that I was still in the world of the living,
ut the wills of my cognition were not transmitted to my extremities. My body, apparently, was no longer mine. This inference was confirmed as fact by an inner cephalic cackling, as if some mischievous imp had invaded my skull and danced upon my brain. I knew, with grave certainty, that I had been tossed asideejected from spiritual control by that nascent horror. 81
