Demons Demons gaunt and snarling circle my meagre campfire. I know I'm safe as long as I'm on guard, the flames fed and flickering. Sleep beckcons, fire sputters and dies, demons advance and pounce. My mind is taken, they ravage my soul -- I'm helpless and vulnerable. I've been reduced to a lost little boy, afraid, confused and alone. I can speak through another's voice in language I don't understand. The demons leave. I'm left to undo the havoc. How can I possibly explain?
