Play Nice

by Rachel Harrison

I wonder if love can be ugly. If it can do the wrong thing. Bad things. I wonder if it can ever really die.

The world will drive a woman insane, then point at them and laugh.

Some demons want to possess bodies. Humans. Minds. Others are content to possess places. Some demons thrive by causing chaos. Others pain, and grief. What most people fail to understand is that demons, above all, are beings of attachment. On their own, they have no power. We give them power. We give them purpose. Now, some use their power to exert control. Others for fun. They’re just bored.”
