The Devil Has Spoken #57


"You know what you did Kiara, you consumed too much of that space cake and now your screwed!"

The devil spoke to Kiara in her whacked out mind. She's at her most vulneralbe state and Lucifer is stalking Kiara like easy prey. She may have ingested an illegal drug but she is safely tucked in her small two room apartment with a mini terrace. No real harm could befall her, well at least thats what she thought until that last bite of that big space cake. Then all hell and the devil breaks loose on her mental state. the ceiling fan was on low, creating a soft hum with the the barely discernable tv off in the corner of the living room. There wasn't a reason for Kiara to get high other than to just do it. Her vision started to get fuzzy like her pink sweater and baby blue pajama bottoms. She started to feel hot, like a hot summer night. So she put up her long curly brown hair into a bun to keep from sweating. Her face was bright red as if she had made a mistake and didn't know how to fix the problem. Guilt was consuming her. That's when the devil could talk to her. Implant messages into her mind. Make her see all of the guilt and pain in her past. Reliving nightmares of being lost and abused. Forcing her to see her sins. Kiara started to rock back and forth. Her were eyes shut tightly, afraid that if she even open her eyes for just a second, that the devil himself would be standing there waiting to take her. Afraid that she might be crazy and hallucinating. Still he persisted to penetrate her soul.

"Come on Kiara! You know you want some more. More! More!"

To Kiara, it seemed as if he was wanting more and more of her pain. To feed his hunger on her fears. And each time she could hear his dark, sinister voice, she would shed another tear. She was alone and hearing the devil calling to her. Who could she tell this to? They would think her crazy and make fun of her more. Giving the devil more leverage over her. But Kiara wasn't a push over kind of girl. Lucifer persisted her, asking her why? Why she would want to stay on earth? Her response was "To keep away from you." And with that remark Kiara slowly came out of the devil's rabbit whole. The dizzy waves subsided slowly. Like a rollercoaster coming to a stop at the same place that it started. The light from the almost muted tv seemed inviting again and the ceiling fan seemed almost un-noticable now. The effects of that space cake was still apparent but not as much as when the whole world seemed to spin and the devil was speaking to her. The world was becoming clearer and clearer and the devil weakened by Kiara's strength. Almost as if this whole episode was just a freaky dream.

  1. Creepy, Jamie! I love the symbolism here! This piece could read like an allegory. Well done.
