Mmmm.
The pleasure is all mine.
It’s an honor, I know.
Yes, I know you. You know me, even if you don’t believe it yet. I know everyone.
Who am I? Who am I to ignore the fourth and every wall?
Hmm.
I often disregard rules. I rather enjoy it, in fact. Rules exist only for those who choose to adhere.
Me? I do not adhere well to rules. Not at all.
I know what you’re thinking. Could I be him? Followed by the slither of uncertainty and a taste of dread. Like discovering a hair in your mouth as you swallow. A persistent irritation, like a lash lost in your eye or like something lurking in the dark. An Unpleasant Thing. A shiver dances down your spine like the cool tips of a lover’s fingers playing children’s games across the skin of your back.
Yes, I enjoy those thoughts of yours.
Am I deceptive? Some would have you believe that. Do I lie? Never.
I’ll tell you who I am and you won’t believe me. Not until the time comes when you do, but by then, it will be too late.
Do you know me now? Yes, you do know.
I am the Devil.
Yesss. I enjoy the flavor of your reeking doubt and I swallow it whole.
Ask yourself – to whom do you answer? Not me, and I’m intrigued by your internet search history, so we both know it isn’t…You Know Who. If not me, and if not…You Know Who, then someone else perhaps? You must. You do. Yes, that’s right, you know who.
You answer to yourself.
