Author: [[Dennis Nappi II]] Full Title: I Am Human, Food for the Archons Category: #books Although my father was the one being tortured, it was us that it wanted. Like an enemy sniper who painfully wounds a soldier in battle to draw the rest of the group into an ambush, my father lay as helpless bait while we were unknowingly pulled into an emotional trap. It wasn’t our physical bodies that it wanted but our emotional output that it craved. It was then that I finally accepted a terrifying possibility: They are out there, just beyond our perception. They are always out there, and they have been for an incredibly long time, feeding on us and preying on our fears and emotions like a leach burrowed deeply in the cold dark shadows of our minds. But this is very real, and I have sampled that reality on countless occasions throughout my life. I have heard Nature’s voice as I sat quietly in her presence; I have experienced communication with something greater than my perception of self; and I have been visited by them. They are the ones who come in the night, who offer both terror and anguish. They bring with them a paralyzing fear and a silent control that has humbled even my bravest attempts at resistance. They have infected my life from the comfort of the deep dark shadows in which they hide, and I suspect they have always been there: waiting, watching, and manipulating our lives.
