The Demons

Living with the shadows, lying in the dark, his soul struggled to survive. He felt lost. His beautiful brown eyes had lost their luster. He wondered if he was ever going to see the light again. His soul couldn’t control his body as he had decided to swallow every drop of the life-consuming liquor. His eyes had that haunted look in them. The once vibrant face was unrecognizable. As his body numbed a little more, his soul gathered the energy to explore the darkness.
The darkness that surrounded him was peopled by the demons that he had created. As he walked deeper into the darkness, he could hear his demons. Some shrieked, some cried. Some killed, some lied.
He was astounded to see how his devious demons started chasing after his soul when they saw him. “You cannot kill me,” he told them. “No we can’t, but we can demolish your body,” they answered with a voice that made him whimper. The demons laughed as he ran and ran. It felt like hours. “What have I done?” He asked himself. In the darkness, he heard a cry for help. He followed the voice, only to see his family surrounded by his amused demons. His family cried for help, his help. “I have to protect them.” He told himself. He knew what he had to do. He rested his palm on his chest and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes again. He filled his brain with the image of his crying family, covered in blood and dirt. He looked at the demons with his eyes filled with rage. The demons, for a moment, felt threatened. They fought back, but he fought harder.
The next morning when his body woke up, he sworn to never hurt his body like this and to always protect his family, even from himself and his demons.
One month later, the demons are gone and he can see the light again, that fills his mind, body and soul with the warmth he never knew existed.
One year later, he is not endangered by the demons anymore. He is happy with his life filled with love and joy. He is confident and powerful. He is the man that his wife loves. He is the superman for his little kids and their strength.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          -V
