The demon lurking under my bed became my unlikely protector during a childhood fractured by abuse and neglect. The bloody night he disappeared left me broken. But now he's back. As I've matured, so has my need for him. My desires are dark, perverse, and only my monster can satisfy them. I'm on the verge of succumbing to a darkness I can't return from. But my monster is determined to preserve the humanity I'm on the brink of losing.
