Force feeding on two doses of clozapine. Doc reclines in his chair; I am restrained in mine. "I am feeling fine, now, feeling fine." "It is time." Doc persists," admit it for them... you know what you did; you know it was all real." A film reel rewinds inside somewhere adjacent to my cerebellum; Front row seats to my favorite show- I know not what to tell him? It was all what I dreamt up on one of my. Usual Sundays. Savoring what lovely sensations- 'some' would insinuate are a sin. It was me this time playing doctor, operating on my imaginary friend. This one pretends she does not like the licking of a blade against her skin. And when I decide to cut too deep her safe word is always 'grin.'   But Doc: that was just how we liked to play? She had been longing for a violent death:             I dreamt her up that way. ... Before I could say what fun I had with the others.., teary-eyed on the other side of reinforced glass, resides my many made-up friend's mothers... (Was it those two pills from before?) In my final minutes .. I have regained lucidity. On death row for defiling those things I thought only I could see. A needle in my arm: my death will serve as an apology. ... I writhe, and before I black out, the lithe figure of an old imaginary friend.. but if you WERE actually real.. A decade ago- I remember a incorporeal, corrupted, entity I allowed to fill my soul. In place of the hole where apathy used to be. The yearning for suicide was all mine; Homicide was your wish-you resided within. Broke my will and reality down day by day by simply posing as my only friend. Control/Desire imprisoned me. Rewired my mind. breaking me down into insanity. but I am fighting now: Thrashing with all the life left still inside of me. She grins as I go. musing to herself.          She takes me below. " I had high hopes for this plaything...   my next toy is actually EAGER to **** " ...For someone who wanted to be dead, you had such a hard time keeping still. -

Grin.
