Fear

What are you afraid of? Spiders? Snakes? No? Hmmm… let me think. Clowns, perhaps? No either? Oh… nothing, you say? I don’t believe you… unless by nothing you mean the void, isolation, loneliness… struck a chord, have I? I think I did. So, if I were to lock you in a dark basement, all by yourself, no food, no water, only the voices in your head keeping you company… wouldn’t that scare you, make you piss and shit yourself in fear? I think it would and the prospect of hearing the madness taking over is so delightful… hmmm, yes… your fear will keep me fed for ages… down you go then and don’t forget to scream.
