-->''Note to self: Possessing people is hilarious! To think of all the sensations [[SenseFreak I've been missing out]] on--[[NightmareFetishist burning, stabbing, drowning]]. It's like a buffet tray of fun! Once I destroy that journal, I'll enjoy giving this body its grand finale--by [[PsychicAssistedSuicide throwing it off the water tower!]] Best of all, people will just think Pine Tree lost his mind and his mental form will wander in the mindscape forever.
