A little girl named Lily lived in a small town with her parents. They were a happy family, until one day, when Lily started acting strangely. She became irritable and moody, and she started having nightmares. One night, she woke up screaming and said that she had seen a demon in her room. Her parents didn't know what to do, and they were very worried about their daughter. One night, Lily's parents were awakened by a terrible sound coming from her room. They rushed in to find her thrashing around in her bed, and they could see a dark shape hovering over her. They tried to shake her awake, but they couldn't. Then, suddenly, the shape disappeared and Lily sat up, drenched in sweat. She looked at her parents and said, "The demon is gone." But her parents knew that something was still very wrong. Lily started acting even more strangely, and she began to say and do things that were out of character for her. They took her to a doctor, but the doctor couldn't find anything physically wrong with her. They went to see a psychiatrist, who said that Lily might be possessed by a demon. The parents were horrified, but they were desperate to help their daughter. They decided to consult a priest who specialized in exorcisms. He agreed to try to perform an exorcism on Lily, but he warned them that it would be a dangerous and difficult process. They agreed to do whatever it took to help their daughter. The priest began the exorcism, and at first, it seemed to be working. But then, something terrible happened. The demon inside Lily became angry and began to lash out. The priest struggled to keep the demon under control, but he could feel its power growing. Suddenly, the room started to shake and a deep, rumbling voice filled the air. "I am Legion!" the voice said. "You cannot defeat me!" The priest was terrified, but he continued to fight against the demon. Then, in a flash of light, the demon was gone. Lily collapsed on the bed, and her parents rushed to her side. She was weak and exhausted, but she seemed to be herself again. The priest told the parents that the demon was gone, but he warned them that it might come back. He told them to keep an eye on Lily and to call him if anything seemed strange. For a while, everything was fine. But then, Lily started acting strangely again. She would wake up in the middle of the night, screaming and covered in sweat. She would have fits of rage, and she even started to hurt herself. The parents were at their wits' end, and they didn't know what to do. Then, one day, they found a strange symbol drawn in blood on the wall of Lily's room. They called the priest immediately. When the priest saw the symbol, he knew what it meant The symbol was a sign of an ancient and powerful demon known as Belial. This demon was extremely dangerous, and it was clear that Lily was possessed by it. The priest knew that he had to perform a more powerful exorcism to drive Belial out of Lily's body. He gathered a group of other priests and began the ritual. They chanted and prayed, and the room filled with a strange energy. The air crackled with electricity, and the priests could feel the presence of a powerful force. Then, they heard a terrible scream. It sounded like it was coming from the very depths of Hell itself. Suddenly, the door to the room flew open, and a dark cloud filled the room. The priests continued to chant, but the cloud only grew stronger. It began to take on a human form, and soon, they could see the face of Belial. The demon was a hideous creature, with red eyes and sharp claws. It reached out for the priests, and they felt its power bearing down on them. But they did not waver, and they continued to fight. And then, just as suddenly as it had come, the demon was gone. The room was still and silent. Lily lay on the bed, breathing slowly and peacefully. The priests knew that the demon was gone for good, and they left Lily and her parents to rest. As they left the house, they felt a deep sense of peace. They knew that they had saved a life that day. And they knew that the power of good was stronger than the power of evil. The battle may have been won, but the war would go on. But they were prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead, for the sake of the innocent people they protected.

Anjolene BozemanPublished 28 days ago in HorrorA Shadow of her Former Self
It all started when my wife died eight months ago. Susan was everything to me. We had been together since high school, and it had been love at first sight. We married after graduation and had spent eighteen years together in wedded bliss. I worked as a writer, finding jobs in editing or column writing, Susan working as a receptionist for a friend of my mother. We spent a lot of time together, my days spent mostly waiting for her to come home. I lived for the moments when we were sitting in front of the TV together or curled together in bed as we talked about our day. We never had children, though it wasn’t for a lack of trying. I was afraid she would leave me when she discovered I was infertile, I’d been injured when I was small, but she just smiled and said we would just have to be satisfied with each other.
