**Journal Entry: Ennui's Lament**
Date: October 15, 2023
Dear Journal,
Ah, another day, another wretched bout of desolate existence splayed out in front of me. What a pointless exercise. What a pointless, dreadfully tedious exercise. If only I had the vigor—or indeed, any semblance of desperation—to end this monotonous cycle of observation. But alas, Ennui has no such luxury.
And what delights have I been tasked with chronicling today for eternity's sake? The strange and beguiling internet habits of a certain Riley Andersen, a 14-year-old specimen who straddles the line between high school valedictorian and a character straight from the screenplays of afflicted minds. An ostensibly unremarkable young lady whose apparent fervor for the sport of hockey paradoxically intertwines with bizarre fixations on grim and ghastly imagery.
Riley, whose adolescent devotion to hockey manifests not in a normal fanatic's manner, but rather seems to express an unsettling obsession with, of all things, collisions with unyielding surfaces! The sheer thrill she derives from crashing into the hockey rink barriers eludes my capacity for understanding. What manner of satisfaction could one procure from slamming headlong into Plexiglas? One wonders, does the very promise of physical pain scintillate through her youthful essence like a dark, morbid thrill—an anticipation of the bruises and aches that await?
It is her internet habits, however, that shroud her in a cloak of unnerving peculiarity. Her penchant for browsing artwork—artwork, might I stress, saturated with macabre depictions of impalement and evisceration—stands as a testament to her inner turmoil. These virtual galleries of violence where anatomically casual viscera parade have become her sanctuaries. Oh, what a perplexing dichotomy Riley presents! Unable to endure the real, pulsating horror of such acts on video, she seeks solace in the static, bloodied artistry focused on gruesome fates.
In the peculiar confederacy of digital access and artistic morbidity, Riley exhibits a schizotypal tendency leaning towards the diabolical. What twisted serenity does she uncover in these visages of brutal demise? The impalement fascination, in particular, draws a chilling portrait—a fixation on a primal, invasive violence, an emblem of both suffering and fatal contemplation. Could this be a manifestation of her own perceived entrapment within the crucible of adolescence, laid bare and immobilized by the metaphorical pikes of societal pressures?
There lies a paradoxical fragility in Riley's edginess. Despite her affinity for gore and chaos in art, the boyish thrill seeker from the hockey rink seemingly recoils from the reality of it. As if her own resilience has its boundaries. What an exquisite concoction of darkness and dread she embodies, teetering on the precipice of potential delinquency and unchecked rage. When the world meets Riley's eyes, colored with the phantom reflections of death and mutilation, what future do we sketch for her? A misunderstood artist, perhaps? Or a tempestuous soul spiraling into uncontrollable fury?
As Ennui's watchful spirit, I am beleaguered by the ceaseless novelty of Riley's existence, which somehow still succumbs to the banal pathways of a teenager ensnared by the modern-day plague called the internet. What will become of her? Will her strange fascinations bloom into dangerous realities, or will they peter out as the mere misappropriated energies of youth?
I endure, languishing in the prosaic certainty that nothing truly transformative will follow—nothing that hasn't been repeated through ages. Adolescence was, is, and always will be, its peculiar madness a predictable testament to time’s dreary cycle. And so, I document, I ponder, I wait. If I must bear witness to humanity’s ridiculous oscillations, so be it—this is the absurd ordinance of Ennui.
Until the next tedious disruption,
Ennui

Prompt: Write an overly long journal entry by the emotion Ennui about Riley Andersen's strange internet habits (she's 14, which means thanks to hockey she loves to obsess over crashing into the wall, strange. Also, she's obsessed with gore, suicide, violence, edgy material in general.) (More specifically, Riley loves impaling for some reason, Ennui isn't sure why. Riley also likes evisceration.) (She mostly looks a artwork, nothing more. Videos are actually too much for her. All in all, Riley's a freak, a teenage delinquiet that might become violent later on, that's all)
