12) Insanity

"You're mad," she muttered, wrapping her arms around herself and trying to hold the ragged coat tight against her body. "You're utterly mad!"

"Mad?" he laughed. "The world is mad, and I am the only sane one! I will show you! I will show you the truth of your world! And you will despair." His face contorted into a leer, as he grabbed her shoulders and glared into her eyes. "Oh, how you will despair!"

"No-no!" she replied. "What you say is false! All of it is false!"

"Don't you hear it?" he whispered in her ear. She tried to twist away, but he held her in place and continued to hiss. "Don't you hear that clicking noise? Don't you wonder why it never stops? Don't you wonder how you got here?" He backed away.

"This world is false. We are all creations of a higher mind. She is working at it right now, changing my dialogue and actions, as well as yours, as she sees fit. But I will surpass her! I will finish my masterpiece, and-"

He was cut off by A GIANT ROCK FALLING FROM THE HEAVENS. IT CRUSHED HIM UTTERLY. NO ONE CAN KNOW THE TRUTH. AND THEY WILL NOT HEAR WHAT I TYPE HERE, BECAUSE IT IS NARRATION, NOT DIALOGUE. AH, THE WONDERS OF PLAYING GOD.

She woke up in the field, covered slightly in dew. He was gone, for good.
