The four of us stood at the large bay door in astonishment. The destroyed torso of demon Mrs. Williams had just been grabbed and taken into the depths of the darkness after Todd had harvested her demon orb and used it to heal my mangled arm. We could easily have turned, gathered into the van, and left the area if it were not for a couple of issues.
The first issue was the fact that the thing that had taken the torso, likely to consume it, was probably a demon. We had come here to secure demon Sarah behind a false wall, which Todd built, and we could not risk a demon being loose inside and eventually freeing demon Sarah. That would make everything we had worked for an absolute waste of time. Unfortunately, we had to battle whatever this demon was, where it was. None of us had even gotten a hint of what this demon looked like, it had yet to emerge from the darkness of the abandoned K-Mart.
The second issue we had was the

The three of us stood outside of the large bay door leading into the darkness of the mold infested abandoned K-Mart. Each of us were in a state of shock as Todd had been snatched by a six eyed demon as he was setting up the spotlight so we could make a plan and exterminate the demon so it would not accidentally or purposely rescue our recently secured demon Sarah. For the briefest moment of time, we were able to catch a glimpse of the demon beast as it scurried off with Todd in its grasp. As an instant and immediate reaction, Jackson tried to take off and run into the building so he could chase after Todd and more importantly the demon beast that had grabbed him. My hand grazed his shoulder as he zoomed past me, but lucky for me, Jennifer was ready as well. She caught the collar of his ratty t-shirt and yanked him back in line. Jackson threw her a shocked look, wondering why he could not go and take on the demon beast, why we would let Todd get

There was nothing we could do, nothing we should do right now. It was in our best interest to let the former demon wolf do what it does best and hunt down the demon that had just snatched Todd right out from the light and dragged him into the darkness. Jackson, even though he was eager to rush in at first, stayed in the position I wanted him, safe and in the light. We had eyes on the demon beast’s outline and had figured out that the screaming that sounded like Todd’s was actually the demon mimicking the emotionally distressing scream of Todd. As the demon wolf disappeared out of the light provided by the spotlight that Todd setup right before he was snatched, we all watched on to ensure that we were safe but also ready to attack if the demon wolf needed it. We all clumped together now, we could see the outline of the demon so getting snatched or attacked was not at the forefront of our minds right now. This was a waiting game, and the waiting w

One could cut the silence with a butter knife, like a samurai sword gliding through a sheet of lined school paper. The level of discomfort for the three of us had risen to a psychologically damaging magnitude. Nothing was more important than rescuing Todd from the mimicking demon, he was the asset of all assets. The time had come, destiny was playing out right now, we were living it and nothing could stop it from taking place now. Jennifer and Jackson eased in closer to the edge of the darkness, flirting with the boundary between safety and certain uncertainty. Ready and waiting for the wolf to finally make its move, I crouched down and placed a hand on the spotlight. This was a crucial moment for all of us. Demon Sarah was just behind the fresh drywall Todd had installed, our precision and accuracy was paramount. I said, “Get ready. As soon as the wolf strikes, we move in. Get ready. Do not be nervous, let that a

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

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. Make s

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
Haunting Naomi Chapter 152
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

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
