Intrusive Thoughts

Those sudden dark thoughts we all have, what if it wasn't really us thinking them.

Sitting on my bed,
Reading a nice book.
My eyes cast downwards
Towards the power outlet by the window.

Hmm...
I wonder what it tastes like!
I suppose one little lick wouldn't hurt,
Right?

My eyes float back up to my book,
I continue to read for a few more minutes,
Before widening at the sudden realization.

"What the actual ever loving f**k brain?!"

Going for a midnight drive.
No other cars on the road,
Just mine.
It is quite peaceful.

What would happen if I suddenly turn right
As hard and as fast as possible?

Slamming abruptly down on the breaks,
I just sit there.
A fearfully shocked look spreads across my face.
My heart pounds in my ears as I try to collect my thoughts.

"Why?!"

These thoughts...
Where do they come from?
They don't even feel like my own!

Is there...
Is there someone else in my head?
Why are they doing this to me?

"WHO ARE YOU?!"

"WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?!!"

Oh, that's simple darling...

Because I'm bored.

Author's Note

Ok, originally this was just supposed to be about a person struggling with their intrusive thoughts, but then I had an idea and it ended up tying in with an evil character in one if the novels I'm writing. In specific, it goes with one of her powers.

So, yeah.. Pretty dark, huh? That was kind of the point. I suppose dark topics make for dark literature.
