Schizophrenic or Seeing Demons
by Autumn
I've read about people seeing demons, but they see nothing like what I do. They see dead, crippled people. I see shadows. I've only met one person who had seen these like I had. My best friend., and now she's gone, my only help source, moved away.
My shadows take forms of things. A cat, most of the time, as a cat can look shadow-like without being questioned. I saw my first one when I was in sixth grade. It was at night and I couldn't sleep. So I looked to the shelf lining the wall in the back of my bedroom and I saw a shadow. The thing was, the shadow didn't take the shape of the wall then fold at the shelf. It stayed it's shape, taking the appearance as a pitch-black abyss. So I took out my phone and shined it onto the "shadow." The shadow disappeared. I almost screamed that night, but settled with hiding under the covers, knowing it wouldn't do any good, but liking the safe feeling they gave me. The next day, I told my best friend and she said she saw them too. At first we thought they were trapped spirits, ghosts forbidden to heaven or hell. Until they started moving things. They only moved things when no one else was there, but they moved things none the less.
She said not to tell anyone and I agreed. She said that they would say we were sinned, a disgrace. All I was worried about was getting the "schizophrenic" label slapped on me and being sent to therapy. I was secretly afraid, and I knew she was, too, that the shadows would kill us and drag us to hell sooner than later. I didn't tell my parents. Not even my two other best friends. I couldn't tell anyone. For the sake of myself and her.
I've seen a lot of people say they feel dark matter. I guess I can say I feel it too. But I also feel
them the demons themselves. They push on me as I try to sleep, cloud my vision. But they can't get their goal.
They can't drive me to insanity.
Next time you see a schizophrenic person, ask yourself what they might be seeing. Ask yourself if they're like me. Like my best friend. Like so many people out there that haven't recognized what they're really seeing.
Thank you.
