text: I had barely a chance to enter my chamber before my peace was befouled by his presence. He stood before me, silent, eyeing my person as a stray, starved to a quiet, brooding lust for my essence. I was piturbed, to say the least. For what reason does this creature have to disrupt my own solitude for its own selfish desire of my soul. " Be mindful demon", I said to him. " Be not so careless in encroahing my dwellings". Addressing him directly brought forth no response. I was dreadfully unaroused by his intrusion as wished only for a restful bout of sleep. I abruptly stepped around him, undoing my trousers and removing my shoes in process. Still as a breathless sigh, he turned himself about to maintain a strong gaze enamoured with the prospect of my soul. I unfastoned my tie and removed my shirt, donned my evening blouse and, once more, faced this rude abomination seeking to unnerve my character. " You can stand there if you like", the annoyance in my voice was was masked with an apathetic tone. " Be forewarned, though. Any attempt to molest my wellbeing, be it through an attempt to possess or infiltrate my dreams, will be taken as an affront to my patience and courtesy. I will not stand for it in the least and you will suffer the consequence if you do". A light faded from his eyes and no longer seemed envisioned with the prospect of comsuming my breath. He slacked his form and began to fade away. I granted him one last nod in his departure," I bid you goodnight , sir", and snuffed my lamp.
