Sometimes disasters are disguised as blessings, and sometimes those disasters are demons in the form of your savior, but when darkness is all you know, the light is frightening, even if it’s where you’re meant to be. Tessa is struggling. With no one to turn to, she finds herself in the dark, in a place where she knows nothing but pleasure… so why would she want to leave? At first, it’s bliss… the perfect life. But then things start to change, and soon enough everything is spiraling out of control. There’s something there, something she’s supposed to remember… A memory so painful it’s nearly ruined her life. Can Tessa face that pain to fix her marriage? Or will the demon forever keep her under his spell and in his dark grasp? This is a shorty story with dark themes. It was originally published in A Women's Demons Anthology with the title The Demon Inside Me.
