April 2025 entry distorted minds Contest

I don't know how you can blame any of this on me. "They spoke to me first."

Yeah, I know communication doesn't equal consent, but they did contact me.

Really those oija boards should come with surgeon general warnings. They asked, "Are there any spirits here?"

"No," I answered.

They laughed, "Then who are you?"

I took control of the planchette. Whipping it out of their hands I spelled out, "Demon."

That shut them up, for a moment. "Prove it!"

I darkened the room and opened a portal to hell. They can't blame me for the fact that portals to hell draw in the nearest souls. Their parents found their bodies the next morning drained of all color.
