Starting a new journal brings up a supernatural experience admission from a friend.
"I can't believe I finished another journal."

"You're writing more than me."

"Maybe my journals have fewer pages than your journals."

"Okay, that's a possibility."

"I can't wait to crack open a new journal."

"Yeah, it is exciting to start a new journal. It's like an adventure unfolding right before your eyes."

"Yeah, but you're the one writing it."

"But I feel like someone else takes over when I write."

"I guess that's your muse."

"I thought a muse was supposed to inspire."

"Well, maybe the inspiration feels overpowering."

"Hmmm... No, I think some writer from the great beyond takes possession of my body and does the writing for me."

"Well, that's different than a muse."

"Do you think it's a demon or a ghost?"

"How would I know?"

"I think both can do it."

"I feel like a different person takes over when I speak in class."

"This could affect your grades."

"Yeah, it could raise them."

"Oh, so these beings are good at what they do?"

"They're better than me."

"So they didn't always do this to you?"

"No, it just started a few weeks ago."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I guess I just take credit for it all."

"You better not upset them."

"No kidding. My grades depend on them."
