When you look at me what do you first think? Be honest. If you've been alive on the Earth long enough you'd seen many depictions of creatures like myself: dark hair, crimson skin, two small-yet-significant protruding horns poking through our hairline. I'm a demon, have always been, and will always be from the moment the … Continue reading The Department of Unholy Deals (Or My Life as an Antinatalist Demon)

Abinmo & David

The machinery of the Human Analysis 5000™️ (New Millennium Edition) sighed as the various pneumatic tubes relieved their pressure and pulled out the ends of each probe from every opening larger than a space quarter of the human's flesh.
