We are hooked by these unknowable forces, our emotions heightened and rattled by the expectation - or shock - of the next few words.

It can be interpreted as narrating the gradual possession of the protagonist by a mysterious, possessive feminine spirit, or as a realistic description of a psychotic outbreak culminating in catatonia and murder, told from the psychotic subject’s view.
