English Monologue - Demons

Authors Avatar
English Monologue (Scene 1 – talking to himself)(Location – in his small enclosed white and black bedroom)Whatever you do, however terrible, however hurtful - it all makes sense doesn't it?

(Scene 2 – talking to himself)It’s like they’re talking to me and being my best friend, but in some sense, they’re just doing it to take over my body. It’s hideous, horrific and horrible…bizarre that no one believes me. I know. I know it sounds ludicrous, but it’s the truth- They keep coming back for me, trying to obtain my powers of myself fullest control. I’m ready to lose touch with my friends, close friends and family if I’m not curable which makes me feel ...
