Cacodemon

by Shannon-Perry

The person I see in the mirror is not me. I hear you say “how can that be?” The answer is simple; the demon inside has taken my place, it punches my skin and tells me that I’m the biggest disgrace. My arms are stained red and my mascara has run like a river, I discover the monster that's where I should be with a shiver.
