Conversations with One's Inner Demons

I forgot to post yesterday, likely because yesterday was the first day of March break. If I recall correctly, I didn't wake up until 2:30 P.M. then continued to watch TV and play video games for the remainder of the day. I am very well aware that I should have been reading my book for my book report instead but when I do, the book stirs something inside me. The book is called Demonologist by Andrew Pyper, a fellow Canadian author. To make a short summary, an English professor at Columbia University is extremely depressed (even more-so then myself) and finds himself caught in a demon's web of mischief. He has to use clues from John Milton's Paradise Lost to find the location of his daughter who has been, what I've come to theorize at this point, been taken to purgatory by a demon of some kind; after her father, the English professor, David Ullman.

With that cleared, as I was saying before. The book does things to the reader. Well, to me at least. Not only is David Ullman fighting actual demons, but his inner demons as well. I can very much relate to this. I'm constantly feuding with the inner beasts, and sometimes they win. Their biggest success against me ended up with me finding myself with deep cuts in my arm. Should I go into more detail on what  that was about? A post for another time. I haven't made what I'm getting at very clear here. The amount of "inner demons" running rampid about earth. More and more teens, adults, etc. have been showing symptoms of being stalked by demons. Whether it be by an empty beer bottle-- refusing to break away from its ever-persistent lover, the blood being shed from self conscious teens, or the hole of the noose that hangs in the closet of a dorm-room.

Perhaps what the Christian Book of Revelations (those who aren't familiar: Book of the Apocalypse) speaks of not physical forces of Satan ravaging earth and sinners, but mental demons; picking off victims one by one. Alas, these are but thoughts of a depressed high schooler with a passion for literature. The book Demonologist is a very good read, it's just taking its mental tole...
