From Dark Ends: A Horror Collection This is how the end begins. Will is a loser. He lives in his mother's basement and still works as a checkout boy at the same grocery store that's employed him for a decade. So, why would a demon choose him to carry out the murder of three middle school-aged boys? This story does not have a happy ending, but it won't be the conclusion you're expecting. Behest contains graphic violence and a little gore. If you don't like frightening themes and need a happily ever after, this is not the book for you.
