Nefarious Foe

I have discovered evil. It's not an ancient evil, unfortunately. In fact, it is an incredibly modern evil. One that, like most things that aren't necessarily good for me, I once held dear.





At one point in time, when I was much younger and not yet aware of the error of my ways, this evil was my constant companion. I now know better. This evil is intrusive, disruptive and the bane of my existence. It is my nemesis, my true enemy and at times, my arch rival. It encroaches on its query's territory with reckless abandon, ambushing and waging war using guerilla tactics and blitz attacks. Ironically, I discovered this evil on Halloween. It has been ruthlessly plaguing me ever since.





This nefarious foe goes by the name of Glitter.





Now, you may be laughing, believing me to be dramatic. However, when you encounter an enemy so resistant and cunning as I have found Glitter to be, you would not find it amusing. Or maybe you would.





No matter where I go, where I look, there it is. Always watching, always waiting and no matter what I try, I cannot defeat it.





There was a time, not long ago, when I believed I had beaten this evil. Until one day I turned around and there it was.





You may have won the battle, but I promise you, I will win the war. Well played, Glitter. Well played.
