Vincent

He was listening to the song, the sweet escape. Gwen Stefani. He was completely dazed. A million thoughts were flying in and out of his head. Actually, thoughts have never flown out of his head. They flown in and get stuck there. His childhood dreams still find their way through, haunt him and destroy his mental peace. He cannot seem to forget anything. He has to remember everything. He is helpless. He desperately wishes to forget some things. But he cannot. He is very helpless. That’s the way God has made him.

He badly wanted to escape. He used to sit in his room for hours and hours and dream of his ideal life. It was almost surreal. But he badly wanted it. He knew it was very hard. He was desperate though. He was ready to do all it took to reach his ideal world. Just closed his eyes and he’d be transported there. No one knew what his obsession was, what he desired, what he was heading toward.

I always knew something was up. Vincent was never like this. He was the complete opposite - a good kid, well-behaved, disciplined, calm and composed. Now, it was like he had transformed. There is a strong reason behind every big phenomenon like Vincent’s drastically changing mindset. The sole reason for his happiness being ruined like there is no tomorrow; is none other than yours truly… me. Yes, don’t get too surprised. I am not a maniac, who happens to have something against poor old Vinny. The problem is I am unfortunately stuck to him – stuck to the prick. Well, I know he is changing but it’s taken me a rather long time to ensure that he finally witnesses this change. Soon, I might like him. He’s becoming like me. Twice the evil! That’s what I’m talking about. Can you imagine that, twice the evil? Together, we could do so much.

Why am I so attached to him? Simple reason… I am him! I am Vincent and so is he. Call me the sub conscience, a figment of his imagination or a split personality. Both of us together make Vincent. We’re in it together. The only glitch – I have my own agendas. And I will do anything it takes just to make all of them happen in the real world. Yes, I’m that kind of a guy. Vince is in for the ride of his life. And so am I.
