An Explanation of Demons of the Heart

Hello, this is a brief bit of information pertaining to the story. I don’t know if it will ever be mentioned in DOTH, but I wanted to give you a frame of reference for the story, and try to answer some questions about the Demon/Human realationships.

The World

The world in which Demons of the Heart is placed is one much like ours. However, there are some slight differences. The age that the story is placed in would most resemble the 40’s-50’s era of America, with its malt shops and cruising down main street. It differs from this however, because homosexuality is not really taboo at all, it is naturally accepted by everyone and is seen as being as normal as straight relationships. Another difference is that racism between humans doesn’t exist. Perfect right? Which brings us to:

Demons

Human teenagers don’t know much about Demons, because they aren’t allowed to mingle with them. However, in the story, it isn’t racism because humans think they are better, it’s racism because they know Demons can get the advantage over them.

Government

As explained in the story, there were two governments. They had to work along side each other, much like the American senate and house of reps, they are two separate entities, but they must work together. The human government has been trying for a long time to remain in power, however the Demons have more money, and are gaining support from some unknown base of humans who would rather be integrated with Demons. The Demon Government’s main goal is to have the future generation of Demons find their mates as soon as possible, so that humans will not be united, and rather more attached to their Demon mates.

Thank you for reading, any questions? I’ll try to answer them!

I removed a bit about Demons, because….it offended people? Or person…whatever, Jess I’m glad you pointed out my mistake, but I can’t reply to you to explain --‘….I didn’t really mean that they represent African Americans, I was just using the civil rights movement as a frame of reference, because it was closest to what is going on in the story, although I admit, the story doesn’t compare. As for the fact that all of my characters are white….well, you’re totally right…but I’m not going to add a different ethnic background just for the sake of diversity, that would be counter-productive. (Or it may be that I have way too many characters already…lol) Anyway, thank you for pointing out those things, the last thing I would want to do is offend anyone. If anyone has any other problem, just let me know.
