The writer imagines how a Dark Angel may steer a reasonable man to a world of tyranny and anarchy

I, Vince, said to Evangeline, “You are like a dark angel! You are perfectly formed, but you are on the dark side. You were present at the battlefields of WW III, urging on the dark Lord, who ultimately lost. Yet you still exist, mostly in peoples’ dreams, urging them to break hearts and murder their enemies.” She retorted, “But mostly I inspire people to write Dystopias and dream of wild orgies and dream of the Devil. I think I am inspirational to the people of Earth, and I choose my dreamers carefully. I am just giving people what they want.”

I opined, “Never has the Devil been stronger than now. Of course, Satan exists in various degrees in all humans, some more so than others, and he tempts people to commit crimes and build Dystopian Worlds. And I would say most colonies in Space are definitely Dystopias and it looks like the Devil will rule all humanity one day. Probably he will take the form of God Emperor of all Humanity. All power corrupts and such an Emperor would no doubt be completely mad, and power crazed. And what is madness, but the Devil? And most people today are already mad, they call it being “mentally ill,” and there’s no cure, people just get crazier and crazier. And greedier and greedier for everything, like more sex with famous/rich people, more money, more power and so on.”

She said, “People like you who understand things are a danger to everyone including yourself. As you know most people will march to war and kill as many people as they can, if they are ordered to do so. And people who look different from us, like the new freaks, our instincts are to kill them. and war and madness are glorious."                                                                               

I remarked, “You evil ones have not triumphed yet!” She said, “On the contrary we triumph with every war, with every broken heart, with every mad act one does. Most people, all they do is madness. The idea of sanity, honesty and goodness are completely out of fashion. And anyway, people who claim to be sane and good are the craziest of all.” I said, “But MRT (Mind Reading Technology) is making people honest and good, and they feel part of the whole.” She said that is just what people like you say. Actually, MRT is like mind rape, and everyone is terrified everyone will know their dirty secrets, and those that are proud of their dirty secrets are in charge these days.”

I said, “I tell you, “The Just Emperor is coming soon and will beat back the forces of evil and drive them underground. Perhaps it will even be me!” She said, “You are delusionary. No one will support a heartbroken loser like you. You have no glamor, nor spice. You are dull and want to make everyone into a ‘good idiot’; ignorance is bliss to you.  You understand how the World works but have only dullness to offer by way of a solution. You’re boring me now!”

I said, “If I had any balls, I’d strangle you to death, right here and now. But the law is an ass and doesn’t favor deeds of chivalry.” She said, “I’d like to make love with you and then kill you, but I also consider the law to be an ass.” I said, “I have to admit, you are supremely physically attractive, but there’s no way I’d ever love you. I think you are psycho. And you would drive me mad.”

​

She remarked, “You’re such a wimp. I don’t know why I am bothering to talk to you. Where is your sense of adventure? And I know that every man desires me, at least subconsciously.” I said, “I make it a thing of personal pride to only have sex with women I truly love, and I sure don’t love you.” She then quoted Rimbaud, “And the witch who lights her coals in the earthen pot/Will never tell us what we know and what we do not.” I spoke: “That’s it, you are a witch. You think you are deep and mysterious, but you are simply evil and anathema to the modern World.

She told me, “If we used MRT on one another, I would prove to be the stronger mind and would control you and bring you to your knees.” I said “I have mind read with thousands of evil people and in every case, it was I who brought them to their knees. I am smarter than you, but no doubt you will try and cheat, using MRT that is favorable to you… She opined, “We can use the standard MRT, and I will knock you out. And perhaps, many people will want to watch and listen to this battle of the minds. The forces of darkness have always been with us, but now more so. And it is fashionable to walk the road of darkness. Be a mystery. Be hard to get. Be ready for battle…” But I chickened out.

And I said, “I envision a World of sanity and justice. And I am not the only one. The forces of good will triumph with World democracies and there will be no more Kings/ tyrants. And mad humans will be cured with new drugs to make them sane. And justice would follow the varying constitutions and laws. And woe be to those who break the laws…”

She said, “You are so childish. These days everyone is trying to break the rules and laws. And get ahead. The law is an ass. And you can’t arrest the majority of the intellectual people.” I said, “We merely have to mop up the evil leaders and execute them and live in pleasure and happiness as a result. Without evil leaders, most people will be good. She asked, “Since when did most people matter? Leader after leader just gave them bread and circuses. And if there was war the people would gladly fight. And if there was peace that was fine, too. And most people never had an original thought in their head. A bunch of zombies.” I said, “I still say that with the right education everyone can be a genius.” She said, “I’ve never heard such outlandish talk. You are completely mad like most people are, no point in your claiming you are sane and reasonable.”

But I opined, “I am sane and take no medication for mental illness!” She said, “You are in denial, only this and nothing more.

So finally we MRT wrestled with one another and brought her to the point where she was begging for me to have mercy. It was an ugly scenario. And I killed her with my mind and had no regrets. And the whole affair was swept under the carpet by me and my spies. I was a spy myself and had killed off numerous evil people in one way or another. I was a spy for the new Worlds order, and we were getting to be known in intellectual circles, where many thought we were saviours of humankind. We had spies in every nation. And we were trying to build a new UW (United Worlds) which would police Earth and Space.

​

Most thoroughly evil people were reckless, and it was easy to corner them with MRT and we got in the heads of tyrants and forced them to abdicate.  Some tyrants were loved by their people, but we wanted democracy.
