Thanks! It almost never got written, actually. It's been sitting in my drafts for a bit over a year now, but I decided to just bite the bullet and finish it.

Wow I loved the intensity of this story. The coolest thing to me, is that it's based on something relatable. That longing for something more, for the magical and paranormal. Most of us wouldn't take such a cruel route, though (I hope).

It was interesting to hear his reasoning, about how he doesn't want to be bound to a spirit or demon (valid), and that the spirits are dead anyway (warped logic but I see where he's coming from). That was an epic finale with him taking even his mom's soul away, yikes! :( Will anyone be able to stop him before he takes over the world?
