Can a dark cloud that swarms around be happy? It doesn't always look like that, or at least, I don't think it does. Sometimes it kind of controls things. Possesses them. Animals, people, you name it.
[ Little does he know that she's picturing exactly that. And little does she know that Alan's scared of losing himself to the darkness. What if it carves him out? What if it hollows out everything that makes him him?
It's all so much bigger than he is and it terrifies him. He's a writer, and he thinks he can fix it; he thinks he can change the story, but that doesn't mean he isn't scared. That doesn't mean that he's not more afraid than he can ever remember being. ]
I don't know. I barely understand it myself, but it's a story, right? It needs characters. It needs people. And the people that lived in Bright Falls- the people that live there, because they still live there. They have to still live there. It used them. It- it made me use them. It's my fault.
[ Elizabeth might be able to tell that sometimes Alan's sanity seems to become a little questionable from time to time. This might be one of those times. ]
What happened to him? The darkness... the Dark Presence. It got him. It got him because of me. If he's not dead, well, he might as well be. I don't know if you ever come back once the Dark Presence has gotten you. [ Maybe I won't ever come back either. ]
