LOVE & PAIN

LOVE & PAIN

The gift of a demon

Once upon a time, there was a young couple deeply in love. They were inseparable and spent every moment together. However, their love story was not without pain.

The woman suffered from a rare disease that caused her immense physical pain. It was a constant burden on their relationship, but the man remained by her side, caring for her and tending to her every need. One night, the couple was walking through a dark forest, hand in hand.

As they walked, the woman suddenly collapsed, writhing in agony. The man panicked, not knowing what to do, but he refused to leave her side. In the distance, he saw a faint light, and he quickly lifted the woman into his arms, determined to get her to safety. As they stumbled towards the light, the man began to hear whispers, voices that seemed to be coming from the darkness. He tried to ignore them, but they grew louder and more insistent.

The whispers spoke of love and pain, of the bond between the two that could never be broken. The man felt a chill run down his spine, but he refused to let go of the woman in his arms. Finally, they reached the source of the light, a small cabin in the middle of the forest. The man knocked on the door, and it slowly creaked open.

A figure appeared in the doorway, cloaked in darkness. The man hesitated for a moment, but the woman's pain was too great. He stepped inside, and the door closed behind him.

The figure spoke in a low, rasping voice, offering to take away the woman's pain in exchange for the man's love. The man was desperate, and he agreed without hesitation.

The figure then produced a small vial of liquid, which he poured into the woman's mouth. Within moments, the woman's pain disappeared, and she fell into a deep sleep.

The man was overjoyed, but his relief was short-lived. As he turned to leave, he found that the door was now locked, and he was trapped inside the cabin. The whispers grew louder, and the figure appeared before him once again, demanding that he fulfill his end of the bargain. The man was horrified, realizing too late that he had made a terrible mistake. The figure revealed he to be a demon, and he had come to claim the man's soul in exchange for the woman's pain-free existence. The man begged for mercy, but the demon was relentless.

The whispers grew louder and more menacing, and the man felt himself slipping away into darkness. In the end, the woman woke up alone in the forest, her pain gone but her heart broken. She never forgot the man who had loved her so deeply, and she prayed for his soul every day. As for the man, his fate was sealed. He was lost to the darkness, a victim of his own love and pain.

And the whispers in the forest continued a reminder of the terrible bargain that had been made that night.
