My wife is possessed by a demon

I could hear heavy breathing and moaning coming from upstairs. I was in the living room, so I’m not sure how I heard it so clearly, but I could tell after a few moments that it was coming from the guest bedroom.<br><br>I walked up the stairs to see my wife, Candice, standing at the top. Her hair was a tangled mess, her eyes were bloodshot, and her skin was covered in sweat. She had dark circles under her eyes, and I could smell the stench of rot coming from her.<br><br>She almost tripped coming down the stairs and I had to catch her. I asked her what was going on, but she didn’t answer me. She just kept grinning. I could see a shadowy creature behind her, but I couldn’t make out what it was.<br><br>I walked with her to the living room and sat her down. I asked her again what she was doing. She smiled and started speaking in a different voice. It was a deep voice, and it was saying strange words that made my ears bleed. I tried to tape what she was saying, but it was just a jumbled mess like you get when recording someone speaking a different language.<br><br>I was dumbfounded. I could see the creature more clearly now. It was like an alien, tall with long arms and three eyes on its head. It was pulling on Candice with a strange string. She was still just sitting there, smiling. I could see her chest was all wet. She was shirtless and covered in blood.<br><br>“Why are you recording me?”<br><br>I turned to see Candice in front of me. She was covered in blood and had open sores around her neck. She was still smiling. She took the tape recorder and tossed it across the room. It broke and split into pieces. I could hear the creature laughing at me from behind her. I didn’t know what to say.<br><br>“Why are you recording me?” she asked again.<br><br>“Candice, what’s happening to you?”<br><br>“She’s not Candice anymore, she’s my daughter.” The alien said. I could hear Candice mumble something, the device was still on the ground, so I could hear her clearly.<br><br>*Get a gun, take out your wife, she’s been possessed by a demon.*<br><br>I immediately stood up and went to the kitchen. I couldn’t look at Candice anymore. I couldn’t believe what was happening. Just a few days ago, we were at the grocery store together, now she’s lost to me.<br><br>I got the gun and walked back to Candice. She was still smiling. She didn’t move when she saw the gun. She looked almost like a cat after killing a mouse. Not even curious. The creature behind her was acting more like a person now, but it still had its otherworldly appearance. It was wearing a suit, and covered Candice in a coat, covering her skin from me.<br><br>“You don’t need to do that!” It said.<br><br>But how could I live with myself after this? I just pulled the trigger and shot Candice in the head. She just fell to the ground. I dropped the gun, the creature started screaming at me. It was like a thousand bees buzzing in my ear. It felt so hot.<br><br>But I couldn’t feel anything. Candice was just lying there. She was my best friend, my only friend. She had been possessed by a demon. The creature was screaming at me. It was pulling on Candice’s body. She just wouldn’t move.<br><br>I didn’t know what to do. She was dead.<br><br>The creature was covered in blood, and Candice was lying in a puddle of it. The blood wasn’t coming from the hole in her head though. It was coming from her mouth. It was like she had vomited it up. I could see a strange creature moving inside of her. <br><br>It was alive. It was moving. It started crawling out of her mouth. The creature was cheering. It was just laughing, a maniacal laugh like you hear in movies. But this was real. Candice was covered in blood, and something was crawling out of her.<br><br>It was a squid. It had all of these tentacles that it started squirting blood with. I could feel it on my face. It was cold. I was just frozen in place.<br><br>I’m so sorry Candice. I feel like I could have saved you. The squid just started crawling towards me, but it stopped and started squirting blood at the creature. It covered its body in it, and the blood was boiling. The creature was screaming in pain. It didn’t stop until it was nothing but a puddle of blood. The squid just turned around and continued towards me.<br><br>I immediately ran from it. I went to the basement. There was a small storm cellar covered in cobwebs. It was small, but I could barely squeeze into it. I closed the door as fast as I could and could hear the squid hit the door. It was a hard hit. The door was shaking. I heard the wood crack. I could hear its tentacles pushing up against the door. It was pushing against it.<br><br>I’m so sorry. Candice. I could never do anything right. I could hear the sound more clearly. The squid had broken the door. It was covered in blood and had many tentacles around it. I could hear it clearly.<br><br>*Don’t shoot it, you’ll kill yourself.*<br><br>I didn’t know where the voice was coming from, but I could tell. It was probably the exact same voice as before.<br><br>I lifted the gun and shot the squid. The tape recorder was still playing. I could hear Candice’s voice.<br><br>*Run towards the shed and light it on fire!*<br><br>I could hear the squid screaming. I ran like my life depended on it. I ran outside and into the shed. There was a bunch of gasoline in there. I lit up the flame and could hear the squid screaming after me. I could hear it hitting the walls. It was pushing its tentacles against the doors.<br><br>The fire felt nice on me. It burned my hair and melted my skin. I was still alive. I could only see things through a blur. I could hear the squid screaming and pushing against the doors. It was almost too much to bear.<br><br>But I’m still alive. My last thought. I’m still alive.
