At age 30 Mark became fascinated
with the lore of the mysterious occult,
and he got deep into the dark arts.
He got in so deep that his personality and
even his appearance began to change.
He became so weird and weird looking
that former friends of his avoided him.
Dogs and cats went missing in the
neighborhood he lived in; it was suspected
he was sacrificing them to some demon god.
Worried for her son, fearing he was possessed,
his mother sent a Catholic priest exorcist
to hopefully expunge any demons from his soul.
The priest vanished after that, and nobody
not even the police, ever found him. Nor were
the police able to prove that Mark was responsible
for the priest’s mysterious disappearnce.
Shortly after that, Mark disappeared too, but some
of his former friends claim they’ve seen him in
nightmares screaming in a demon-filled hell.
