A Demon is Always Lurking Nearby

Oh, that’s right, we talk about your love life. We sit with you in class. We know all about that thing you did last night. How do we know? We watch you.

After you


Oh, that’s right, we talk about your love life. We sit with you in class. We know all about that thing you did last night. How do we know? We watch you. We go to those dance clubs with you. We scheme hideous outcomes for you. We know exactly what it is that will get you to our side. We create those wrong friendships you wished you never had. We invite you into those relationships that break your heart. We give you the life you never wanted, but it came at such a sweet price. We promised you the world and you took it like a kid wanting candy. All. Too. Easy. All I can say is, please, don’t let me get in the way of the worst ending of your life. I’m right behind you. I’ll open that door to frustration, nonsense and destruction. Please. After You.

Sample text:

It’s excruciating beyond measure! The noise hurts my ears. My head is shaking from the horrific impact. What are we even doing here, Jennifer?

My girl, Jennifer, and I are inseparable; I’ve been her demon for about 10 years now. You’ll have to excuse me. I was trained as a vicious devil down in Hades, but on Earth, we take on the personalities of our host and the nuances of the generation we’re in. It’s a full-time job and its pure immersion. That means for 10 years, I’ve been watching Channing Tatum movies, been involved in sleepovers, gossiping about boys, and exploring the world of nail polish and manicures. Her thoughts have become my thoughts, her interests have become my interests. It’s how we form a union, so the possession stays nice and controllable. My job is to lead her straight to Hades without her knowing. My life changed when I got deployed to the Possessions Department as a Field Minion working for Lucifer.

Textbook Page 17: A Field Minion has to maintain a host throughout the host's entire life. Its daily work for a long-term gain.

 

For the overachievers at this department, they’ll take the ‘Fast Track to Hades’ option: get their host to die young. You name it, they’ve done it and I will admit; it gets the job done. They add more and more names to our roster and they come back up to Earth looking for more. I guess when it comes to field work, to each their own.
