The Dark Passenger

Side note: No, this isn't origional, I stole the idea from Dexter. The words are mine but the concept of the 'dark passenger' is from that show and doesn't belong to me.


My life stretches like a long road before me. So many opportunities lie to either side and I want to turn, I really do. But for the dark passenger. Right beside me, this shadow, this blackness of character nudges me when I look away from straight ahead. Sometimes the passenger even steals the wheel. He's the one that whispers to me in my times of confusion and doubt. He looms, menacing and cold, just beside me, near me. He's the one who determines my course when I become less than vigilant. The dark man is more single minded than I am, he wants only one thing, and he never deviates from his persuit. In a way, that makes him stronger than me. And he's always there.
