AN: What would you do if the devil offered to take a trip into your soul? I had another idea in mind when I started writing this, but I think it turned out okay. Thank you, as always, for offering creative input.

Pain seeps into murky ink as her

instrument penetrates the paper.

She lifts her eyes only to see chaos

amongst angry anxious clouds.

The demon walks by, beckoning her

to accompany him through her mind.

She reluctantly accepts, fully aware his

presence still remains if she declines.

He informs her he's delving into

the most secluded pockets of her psyche.

She responds by delivering the usual

bullets blown through her gullible back.

His hideous unearthly spheres disclose

why those chaotic clouds smother her.

She constantly seeks companionship

within the uttermost vile living corruption.

Demon grins viciously, satisfied as her own blood

smears every agonizing word she's penned.

She endures his torture as he picks apart

her intellect, preparing to remove her soul.

Entering her last corridor, demon's black eyes widen into

two bottomless pits as he slams into an unexpected wall.

She lets out a maniacal laugh at his expense, for

though he knows her well, she is the keeper of her own mind.
