Prism & PenMarnie had this big, black evil inside her (even more than usual), and I had no idea what she’d do to the ones I loved. Just to mess with me. Demoralize me.

Prism & PenI was on my bed, fresh after killing a demon that had attacked me in my dreams. As far as demon fights go, this one was pretty easy. Well, not easy, per se. But I didn’t have any bruises or claw wounds, so I’d consider that a success. <a href="https://buff.ly/413gc9E" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://buff.ly/413gc9E</a><a href="https://stranger.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LGBTQ</a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/Fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fiction</a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/QueerFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerFiction</a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/YAFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YAFiction</a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/SerialFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SerialFiction</a>
