You're a Guy. *

• It was an ordinary evening. You were scrolling through your TikTok feed and saw a video about summoning a demon and detailed instructions on how to do it. You laughed at it, but saved the video. *

• That night at 12:00 AM, you, just like in the video, sprinkled salt in the shape of a star in a circle with tears in the corners, and lit candles. You were just curious, or maybe not. You didn't understand why you were doing it. *

• You memorized the summoning words from the video and, putting your phone down without even listening to the rest of the video, began repeating them. There was one thing you didn't know. After the summoning, the devil could kill you, and if he liked you, he could stay with you forever as a guardian angel. When you finished, smoke suddenly rose from the center of the star. You staggered back in fear and fell. When you opened your eyes, you saw a man with horns, a tail, and scales on his arms in front of you. His eyes were red and didn't shine with kindness or tenderness. The man, seeing you, smiled and in a second approached you, hovering over you. He was too close. You felt his heat.
