    Something dark and sinister has been following Rubi since she was a child. No one else seems to sense it, but Rubi knows that it’s there. Now this unworldly presence has been unleashed and Rubi must bear witness to the unimaginable fate it bestows on her friends. As a forgotten child, Rubi has seen horrible things but nothing could have prepared her for the day the demon came out to play.

      Demoniac

      By Anna Rose

      Sometimes, things happen that can change you forever. I’m not talking about the good things that happen to lucky people like the high school football player who throws the winning pass in his final game and carries the win through life. And I’m not talking about the kind of luck that a police officer has when he steps off to the shoulder of a highway just as a truck slams into the abandoned car he was leaving a ticket on. Deep down inside, everyone wants to think that the world is good and that good will win over bad in the end. But things don’t happen that way just because you think that they should.

      If I’ve learned anything, it’s that life isn’t the fucking fairy tale you read about in books when you’re a little kid. Bad things do happen and usually to undeserving people. And guess what, there’s no superhero standing there in the end, waiting to catch you as you fall. Some things that happen are so bad that as humans, we don’t want to believe they’re real and we go to great lengths to prove they’re not. Scientists and doctors spend years perfecting theories and equations that disprove all the little things that we feel in our guts. Why? Why do we go to such great lengths to disprove things we inherently feel are real? Who decides if it’s fashionable or unfashionable to be spiritual? And why is that even a debate? Some people get furious at the mention of a ghost or an angel or even God. I have my conspiracy theories as to why our society has come to this place and they mostly involve a power struggle between good and evil. The most effective way to hide something that is in plain sight or perhaps the only
