Jungian's philosophy depicts that everyone has a shadow; an inner demon, a dark and repressed side of ourselves that we hide from the rest of the world. These theories play a key role in Robertson Davies' novel, "Fifth Business". Throughout the book, the protagonist struggles with his shadow which takes the form of the guilt he has been harboring since a traumatic incident in his childhood.
This monologue explores the perspective of a lesser character, David + his shadow.
Enjoy! ;)

My Night With Lucifer
I didn't see him boom out of nowhere, but there he was standing right next to me on the ledge that would lead me to my own doom. I forgot that I wanted to jump as I looked at his long blonde hair that rustled as if a wind was blowing, even thought there was no source that would have been able to blow anything in any direction. His face looked like a sculpture in the perfect ivory, but it was his eyes that drew me the most. Almost clear, so light was the blue that sucked in my soul and radiated a feeling of love in my body of the likes of which I had never experienced in my life. "So, are you planning to jump or are you waiting for a sign from the heavens? Because let me tell you one thing, if you are waiting for a sign from above, you will still be standing on this ledge by the time the sun finally burns out." Before HE could commit suicide, Lucifer walks into his life and tells him a story that will change him forever... This is a story I wrote around 5 years ago, and I thought it would be interesting to share it here on Wattpad. It is of religious nature, and it might offend, although that is not my intention. My intention is just to show that every story has two sides, and sometimes each person has their own truth and perception.Complete
