TMA: Ep 19, Confession I

Let’s start with my own confession: I strongly dislike demon stories.  It’s not that I’m afraid of demons in the least, but that I find the concept pretty boring compared to other monsters and they tend to stir up some religious trauma from my childhood.  It’s not enough that I will avoid demon episodes, but fair warning in advance that I’m not likely to enjoy them as much as other things.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I didn’t catch that it was the same priest as in Burned Out until they mentioned the nurse.  Maybe I was feeling slow while listening to this episode because I didn’t really notice much to comment on.  I did note that the demon or whatever was possessing the priest did not seem as powerful as whatever was in the house because it was only able to slow the burning and it only went away when the tree was uprooted.  

I am interested to hear more about the cannibalism aspect of this all and I see that the next episode is marked II, so perhaps I shall not have long to wait- which I honestly find a little surprising?

If this is the case, I will record and add that part when it is found, either by myself or, given the scale of the Archive’s mismanagement, by my successor when I pass away from old age.

BABY I WISH YOU WOULD PASS AWAY FROM OLD AGE

I felt my lips move. They made no sound that I could hear, but I felt them form every syllable. “I am not for you. I am marked.”

fucking haunting

At last, Bethany locked eyes with me and slowly shook her head. “I’m so sorry,” she said, “It wants your faith.”

this statement and the next being religious (catholic) horror give them such a different feeling to other statements for me, i feel so much more of that creeping dread

On a few occasions, though I did encounter things that served to firm up my belief in the Devil and my faith in my Lo- my L- I’m sorry, It won’t let me say the words.

hearing that for the first time didn’t inspire horror just pity

At least, assuming that you’re real. I hope you’re real, but maybe it’s that hope that’s being used against me in a cruel joke. Or maybe the joke would be that I would let that doubt cost me my only chance to tell my story.

his lingering doubt of reality even after his experience is ‘over’ shows how inescapable the fears are once they get their claws into you
