Today, I heard one of the most disturbing conversations on the subway, and the scary part is that it wasn't between two people, it was between a single person which I'm guessing had the multiple personality disorder. That's because she kept on switching back and forth between what seemed like her normal voice, and her "other" voice, which she refered to as "Ana" So, I'll refer to what seemed as her "normal" voice as "voice number 1" and the second one as "voice number 2."
Voice number 1: It's normal, everybody has to die sometime. They all hit the stacks.
*Woman making weird sounds which sounded like screeches. At first I thought it was a baby, but it was only later on that I realized it was her making those sounds*
Voice number 2: I don't want to kill them.
*woman changes her seat*
Voice number 1: Why can't I just switch you off of my brain Ana?
Voice number 2: I don't want to kill those people.
This is only a short excerpt from the 5-10 minute conversation that I heard, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable but also very curious as to what drove her insane and whether she really knew, or used to know a person named "Ana." The conversation, was obviously about her struggling against the idea of wanting to kill someone, and it seemed to me as her "normal" voice seemed to be dominating the feeble second voice, and pressuring it into doing certain deeds which it didn't want to be doing.
Even just writing this conversation hurts my head, because it's so disturbing when trying to remember which one of her voices was saying what. But I thought it was far more intriguing than some of the other conversations that I've heard over the past few days,which is why I thought it was worth writing about.

Hah, that really does sound like something interesting, as disturbing as it is.
Then again, what's the world and its people without the few quirks that make us who we are?
It was interesting, and incredibly awkward. Because everyone else was very quiet and all you could hear was a few people whispering, and the crazy woman talking to herself. It was also funny 'cause my boyfriend was smiling the whole time, and was about to start laughing out loud, while everyone else had a grave expression on their face. I found the contrast quiet hilarious.
