The darkness within

            

            Every second that passed, he felt it growing and growing inside. The darkness was taking every part of him and turning him into darkness itself.

            Some people advice you against your own demons, he was well aware of that, even though they lived and messed up things throughout the years, he could successfully kill them. But there was one thing he didn’t know what to do with: The ghosts…

            After every dead relationship there are ghosts that remind you of the  things that were, the things that will never be, the damage that you’ve done to others, the ghosts are there to torment you, even after the demons are done and gone.

            He could sit on the top of the hill hoping the darkness could not reach him there but all of that was futile, the darkness was within him and if there’s one thing I know, is that you can’t escape from yourself.

            He decided to do the pilgrimage and started to go up the mountain anyway, there was a giant almost infinite stair that went all the way from the bottom to the top. And there he was, one step at a time, trying to reach the top, trying to leave the ghosts behind.

            Some say he never made it, some say his ghosts ripped him apart in the middle of the mountain and left him there as road kill for the animals that lived there, some others, say he made it to the top of the mountain and successfully left his ghosts all along the stairs of the mountain, but when he was going to go down he couldn’t do it, he was too scared to go down again, too scared to face his ghosts again.

            Of the ones who say the last, there are to endings, one is that he still lives there and maybe will do it until the end of his days, and the others say that he took the easy way down and jumped off the cliff and walks among his ghosts now, either way, he’s dead to the world, either way, be aware of the ghosts, because even if you successfully kill you demons, you still have the ghosts to deal with.
