My heart was sinking deep down into my stomach as I paced closer to the car accident that involved Scotty and Jennifer.  Smoke whisked into the air, dancing away until it disappeared.  My eyes had yet to lock onto the other car, but I was certain there was actually another vehicle involved in this crash.  Cars do not just implode in the middle of the road for no reason, especially considering the amount of damage.  It looked as if Scotty had driven directly into a brick wall at one hundred miles per hour.

Over the noise of the hissing and popping of the crashed car, I could hear Todd’s jalopy squeaking and bouncing up behind me.  That thing certainly needed some tender loving care, especially on the suspension components.  I was not prepared for what I could potentially see, but they needed help and I was not about to turn around

    While Todd was consoling Jennifer, I was left in the middle of the street fighting off Sarah Macly in her demon form. I had already killed her once which resulted in her being sent back to hell. She was able to respawn herself around the corner with her green demon car. Cautious and calculated, she waited patiently for one of us to come around the corner so she could cause some sort of irreparable damage. Unlucky for Jennifer and Scotty Geraldy, they were next around the corner. Scotty, God rest his soul, had passed away from the massive amount of damage that a car’s engine can do when it is pushed through the firewall and placed in the driver’s lap without remorse. His entire lower body had been turned to mush, flesh and bone, mixed together into a puddy-esque form. I had never seen such a massive amount of dama

    Thinking quickly on my feet was one of my strong suits. I had the ability to problem solve almost anything in a matter of minutes, unlike most humans that took days or weeks to work out the details. That being said, I was a touch slow in this situation, battling a demon and being a little slow did not mix well for me. Sarah needed to be captured alive but was it worth the risk of getting fireballed by her again? Jackson had indeed provided the much-needed distraction for me, this prompted me to rush in and try to get a hold of demon Sarah. Unfortunately for me, she was able to sense my oncoming attack and turned back to me just before I arrived at her body with the ferociousness of a pouncing tiger. She quickly strafed to the side, and I flew right past her. I skidded across the asphalt, tearing up my elbows and knees. I was definitely going to have some scars. Jennifer and Jackson looked on as Sarah worked up a huge fireball

    Jennifer placed Sarah down on the grass right below my bedroom window, she did not set her down softly. Sarah released a massive moan and began breathing very fast, trying to regain her wind. The ground actually reverberated when Jennifer laid her down, that was how much force she used to get Sarah off her back. None of us were concerned by this, she deserved it and much, much more. I was trying to make a plan in my head that would make sense to allow us to get Sarah up into my room through the window without risking falling from the chalice. I highly doubted the chalice was going to be able to support the weight of one of us carrying Sarah. We had a few options, most of which would not be logical and would most certainly result in a failed attempt. On the ground, Sarah was squirming and moaning, she was fighting against the rope she was tied up with. She was wrapped so much; it would be impossible even with some

    It had already been a long day and it was not even noon yet. We had suffered a loss of life and that burden fell on me. The longer I sat on my bed with nothing to distract me from my real-world problems, the more apparent that loss of life became my doing. Maybe if I had not zapped Sarah Macly when we were down in hell rescuing my little brother, maybe if I had asked a question to Nurse Helen before just blindly following her execution order. Maybe if I were just a good person, that would have solved this problem. Jennifer had lost her first ever true boyfriend. Scotty Geraldy had been killed because Sarah Macly sought revenge on me for causing her to remain in hell leading to her massacre. If there was some other way, something that could have solved our problems without singling out Sarah, this could all be avoided.

    My mind fought to shake the image of Jackson exploding in the ceiling corner of the bathroom, the same bathroom I had been attacked in a week ago. My body went into a shock-like state, seeing my little brother killed right before my eyes when he was just lying next to me in my bed, resting from pure physical exhaustion.I need help right now. Never in my life had I needed more help than at this point right now. There was no way I could go and grab my parents; they would not understand, and they would want more answers than I could provide to them. Jennifer was napping at home after seeing her boyfriend killed right next to her in a vicious car accident. Todd was out front, but I had a horrible fear that I would not be able to get outside to grab him without my body giving up and shutting down.After Jackson’s head exploded, his limp body fell to the tile floor with a resounding thud. I desperately wanted to rush in and grab his

    After the horrible nightmare that ate at my heart as I slept, scaring the living daylights out of me, I was able to sleep soundly for the first time in a very long time. Jackson remained at my side, sleeping, and never moved an inch. During my much-needed sleep, I could literally feel my body recharge from the draining lack of sleep.Sarah Macly was still in my closet, where she would stay until I deemed otherwise. No one ever went into my closet, not even me. If I needed clothes, I picked it up off the floor, gave it a smell, and put it on regardless of how it smelled or not. She would remain in the closet under the clothing until I could determine a way to keep her from attacking us non-stop.I checked my phone and noticed I had two missed calls, one from Mrs. Tannell and one from Nurse Helen. If it was just one or the other, I would have felt pretty nervous about it but having both of them call, that made it seem like

    Jackson woke up with a slick smile showing his pearly white teeth. He stretched long and slowly, creating a yearning for me to yawn. I looked at him as his mind adjusted to being awake versus still dreaming in a wonderland of fluffy clouds and zero gravity. His face clicked in realization that he had finally awoke and he proceeded to tell me something disturbing. He said, "Naomi, I had the craziest dream. I was down in hell, but I was an adult. I had an office and demons had to do whatever I said. I even had a secretary, but she hardly wore any clothes. It was wild." My face dropped, I failed to hide the horror of what he had just told me. I was concerned that he was not dreaming but maybe living some sort of alternate reality. When he was awake, he was my little brother. Young and fun and clueless about the evils of the world. When he was asleep, he telephoned into the adult Jackson commanding legions

    It had been quite a day, quite a day indeed. I spoke to the Lord Almighty and his polar opposite, Lucifer, commander of all that is evil. As if that were not enough, I had crushed some sort of parasitic entity inside of my brother’s forearm that consequently leaked from his skin and dripped to the floor. I gathered the residual slime and found a plastic Ziploc to put it in. I wanted to, no, I needed to show someone. After the slime had drained from my brother's forearm, he seemed to snap back to reality. His face returned to its normal twitchy antics and his body seemed to not be able to sit still. I was curious if there were any ill effects from the crushing of the entity inside his body. Judging from the past, I was certain there would be. I said, "How are you feeling now, Jax? Anything feel weird or out of place? While you were sleeping, I had a pretty weird feeling, so I am just checking on you." Jacks

    Todd was back amongst the living, standing with Jennifer and Jackson, as all three of them stared at me with the fire of one thousand suns. I am certain that not one of them had any idea why I was motivated to trade my life for Todd’s but it was not their concern. The main concern now was to stay alive just long enough to eliminate Mrs. Tannell and destroy the portal to hell that resided in her living room. Through all of this, the killing, the death, the pain, the suffering, it had come to me out of the blue that Mrs. Tannell must be provoking these attacks, especially if she knew I had killed Sarah Macly, her lone granddaughter, she would have all the motivation in the world to make my life a living hell. The end was drawing near, not only for me, but for Mrs. Tannell as well. It was time to end this, once and for all. On

    Todd, the backbone of our alliance, the mini one and the real one, was now lying on his back showing no signs of life at all. His eyes rested still and gray. They were wide open, as stoic as they had ever been in his entire life. His stomach stopped rising with life, he was not breathing at all now. Death had one hand around him, holding on for his dear life, waiting to take his soul away into the ether, never to be seen again. In your last moments, death has a way of making you look as peaceful and calm as you have ever been before. It is the darndest thing, being in the worst position of your life, your soul is floating away, and the lights are beginning to dim, you are dying but from the outside, you look as calm, cool, and collected as you have ever in the history of your breathing days. This generally applies to any and all deaths, except for the horrified ones. Those will make you sick to your stomach. Jesus Christ hims

    Todd was in very severe pain, whatever was attacking him was clearly making sure this event was filled with pure pain and horrific suffering. With his pant leg ripped from its seam, Todd’s burn wound throbbed and pulsed with an alerting rhythm. His body was being manipulated by something, some sort of demon that we could not put our eyes on. This put the three of us at a severe disadvantage. It had become very obvious that we needed to act fast, but we had to act efficiently. Flying off the hinges would almost certainly result in a catastrophic failure, that was absolutely unacceptable. All we came here to do was secure demon Sarah where no one would think to find her and we ended up being attacked by an old demon woman, demon wolves, a huge mimicking demon, and I killed a man. This could not have gone any worse, except for some sort of death on our end. Now was not the time for reflection though, Todd needed us, and it was looking

    Todd, with his leg wound, would have to wait just a bit longer while we investigated what we thought was the man I killed as he ran into the light. Obviously, if I killed him, he would not be able to make moaning noises or anything like that, so it was fairly easy to discern that the dead man had been turned into a demon and he would certainly be looking for some sweet, delicious revenge. I mean, who would be alright with getting killed out of the blue? Jennifer and Jackson had taken the lead as I made a fine attempt at catching up to them as we headed towards the corner of the abandoned K-Mart. The moaning was like a mating call, this was not the typical ‘I am in pain’ moan. It resonated incessantly, calling us to come and see what was happening. Judging by previous experience, I had no clue about what may be around the corner, all I knew was that we were walking towards danger, and we had to be ready. I said, “Slow down, guys. Le

    I could not hold my curiosity back from taking a peek at the filthy, old three-ringed binder. I sincerely wish I had; I was not in the right mental space to read what I had just read. Gaining the knowledge that was hidden away inside of that binder was more of a curse than it was a blessing. The way I thought about life, in general, changed dramatically from that point on, nothing would ever be the same again. Written in ink on a hardened piece of lined notebook paper, I read the following: ‘Today, September 23rd, 1976, I met a few young women that claimed they had been in an accident. Linda Ericson, approximately eighteen years old, Sandra Tannell, approximately twenty-four years old, and Wanda Williams, approximately twenty-eight years old, were in the old Sander’s coffee shop talking amongst themselves. I was studying up on my favorite subject, which will remain nameless because it is so obvious, especially if someone other than m

    The slaughtered body of the homeless drug addict that I split in two with a hellacious laser beam from my inscripted hand before we entered the darkness had disappeared. It was clearly splayed out for all to see and showed no obvious logical signs of going anywhere anytime soon. How it had magically disappeared was beyond me, there was not even a sign of blood or fragments of flesh lying about. It truly baffled my mind as to how a body that had been split into two distinct halves could have disappeared along with all the splattered pieces that went along with it. We had finally broken free from the darkness of the abandoned, decrepit K-Mart and had made our way into the light of the outside world. Todd’s van was still where we had left it, everything was still in place just as it was before we entered the darkness to save Todd and defeat the Haunting Naomi

    There is a time that comes in every single person’s life, no one is immune from it, that you see someone you love as the worst being on the face of the planet. It happens to all of us, it does not last long, but it does happen. None of us want this to happen, who wants to hate someone they love so dearly? At this moment in time, after what Jackson did, after I tell you what he did, you will understand how I had this feeling.It all happened so fast, to be honest. There was no time for any of us to respond to what he thought was the right thing to do. Telling the story now, even as dead as I am, my heart still hurts from that moment. More than how horrible I felt when I found out my mom hit a child with a car, killed him, and left the scene. It is the worst I have ever felt. Jackson made a decision and performed an action, he was scared, and he acted out, it was a mistake, but he did not see it as that in the heat of the mo

    The giant wolf had been struck one time by the now deceased mimicking demon that had taken Todd into the darkness of the abandoned K-Mart. Shining the spotlight on the wolf’s body, the attack by the demon had contacted its torso. Ribs and blood, internal organs and shredded flash all filled my line of sight when inspecting the giant wolf that had saved the day and eliminated the mimicking demon. As usual, our mission’s objective had been modified on the fly. We had to get to Todd, he was hunched over in the corner, we were still not sure if he was alright or if he was in need of some rejuvenation. Now, I felt we were obligated to take care of the giant wolf, the one that formerly was possessed and under control of demon Mrs. Williams. It was the least we could do considering the fact that the wolf had single handedly taken care of the demon and saved us a lot of heartache and potential damages. I said, “Jennifer, go to Todd.

    Navigating as effectively and efficiently around the poor homeless man that I had just split in half after he came running out of the darkness, the three of us walked briskly into the abandoned K-Mart ready for a fight to save Todd. On my way in, I snatched up the spotlight and made sure it illuminated every square inch of real estate in front of us, ensuring our path was clear or we would be able to see anything dangerous in our way so that we could work our way around it. Shining the light back and forth, covering my two counterparts from any attacks from drunks or druggies, we pushed in as fast as possible without risking any chance of injury or worse. Jennifer and Jackson led the charge, side by side, ready to get into the action and accomplish our goal of getting Todd back in one piece. I took up the rear, providing the light needed and also making sure nothing snuck up behind us as the darkness chased behind our feet. In the distance, as we ru
