The Demon - Kindle Fiction

The Demon 
by Caleb Casey

NOTE: This story is now also available as part of the compilation "Now You'll Never Know: A Collection of Strange Stories."

Three young women. One possessed. Rush her to a hospital? A church? Or maybe they'll prefer the demon version. (A short story.)

Excerpt #01 (the beginning of the story):

"I think this room is haunted."
The three girls are standing in the open doorway, looking in. Through the only window, past a skeletal, ice-covered tree outside, the full moon looks like it's only a few feet away. A black scuff on the white wall looks vaguely like a disembodied face.
Emily Foster, the tall one, looks bored. "I'm sure it is," she says, adjusting her thick-rimmed rectangular eyeglasses, "but the bar closes in a few hours and I don't want to be sober all night."
Arica Kobayashi, the short one, adds to her initial objection. "It's freezing in here, too."
Emily: "An unfortunate side effect of December."

Excerpt #02:

"A church can do an exorcism or something?"
"Have you ever read The Exorcist or seen the movie?"
"No," Arica says.
"Well, two people die during the exorcism scene at the end," Emily says. "Besides, I liked the demon version of the little girl better than the regular one."
