Alone in the Dark A conversation ensues between the conscious self and the sub conscious self, conflicting emotions and thoughts and ideas. Subconscious: “You are strangely quiet tonight, i feel there are many things on your mind†Conscious: “Yeah there are a few, but mainly what is eating at me is the guilt, tonight was a nightmare that i couldn’t stand to have again or relive†Subconscious: “It wasn’t your fault†Conscious: “I could have foreseen it, but the rain made it so hard†Subconscious: “Yes it was extremely hard tonight, marks the start of winter†Conscious: “Your not helping me any†Subconscious: “sorry†Conscious: “Arent you the one that should be keeping me awake at night?†Subconscious: “True very true, but i’m not the one that can’t move on and accept the damage†Conscious: “I killed someone tonight, someone young, someone that should have lived far into his old age†Subconscious: “Aaah, yes we did do that, but as you were told, by the police they were drunk†Conscious: “Surely you dont believe in that crap about drunks not knowing what they do?†Subconscious: “No, but it makes living with it easier does it not?, thats what humans do, use the lightest excuse to shift the blame, the sense of guilt one has with oneself when something bad happens†Conscious: “Humans have their weaknesses yes, but regardless, i feel guilty about killing that poor guy, its eating at me†Subconscious: “And it will for sometime, you will learn to live with it, as will I, it will make us stronger†Conscious: “Will it?†Subconscious: “How do you know his number wasn’t up? that God picked his number and thought thats the way to go†Conscious: “Somehow i dont believe God is that unjust, when will my number be up i wonder?†Subconscious: “Not for a while yet, we’re only on number 10002303, a while yet to reach your number†Conscious: “Very funny†Subconcious: “I try to be, after all, thats where you get my humor from otherwise you’d have a constant black cloud over your head, so about tonight, i know it is traumatic about having a hand in taking a life, and God did make us that human that we are damaged. Maybe having a big umbrella over the car will do nicely next timeâ€
