THE DEMON I KNOW

Something's Up

“All this while you claimed to have not seen the black crystal,” Jasmine rashes at Max. “What the hell are you talking about?” Max asked feeling lost and confused. “Have you looked at yourself in the mirror recently?” Jasmine asked with a frowned face. “The blackness of your eyes and the black veins in your hands,” Jasmine added. “What?” Max screamed out loud as he rushed towards his car to make use of his rear mirror.

Walking in on him, Jasmine asked sternly, “What do you have to say to your new look?” “I have no idea!” said Max. “It’s really freaking me out,” Max added looking downcast. “What the hell is wrong with me?” he asked with his eyes still fixed on the mirror. “I should be asking you where the hell is my black crystal?” Jasmine cuts in.

“Does this black crystal of yours have anything to do with my eyes and my veins? Max curiously asked. Approaching Max, Jasmine’s fingers came in contact with Max’s veins as she feels the black veins, she couldn’t resist but started feeling Max’s warm body. “What the hell are you doing?” Max asked as he glanced at Jasmine in surprise “We are still in public,” Max whispered.

“Shhh, this is not the time to speak,” she said cuddling Max from behind. “Be still,” she added. “I don’t get it,” Max replied. “We should be talking about my sudden change and your so-called black crystal,” Max rashes on Jasmine.

“I am trying to find out where the hell is my black crystal and thanks to you, you just disrupted that moment,” Jasmine rashes at Max turning away from him. “Trying to find it in my body or what? Did I see your black crystal and used it as a breakfast?” Max harshly replied. “You better start looking somewhere else,” Max added as he walked out on Jasmine.

“Where the hell do you think you are going?” Jasmine asked as she went after Max. “You are driving me insane with this your black crystal of a thing. So I am going back to my friend Philip,” Max replied. “I am sick and tired of it already,” Max added. “I am not going to leave without my black crystal,” said Jasmine as she held Max’s hand.

“You are welcome to tag along,” Max replied as he slowed down his pace. Without relenting, Jasmine punched Max on his chest, “What did you do that for?” Max asked with his hands lifted. “We should be finding my black crystal and not just hovering around with your so-called friend,” Jasmine replied with a sad look on her face.

“I should be talking about the changes I am experiencing not just about this your black crystal that I know nothing of,” Max said. “If you know nothing about it, why are your eyes black with black veins all over your hands?” Jasmine asked. “Does this black crystal have anything to do with my black eyes and black veins?” Max asked with curiosity. 

“If you know where my black crystal is, please let me have it because you can’t just be manifesting black eyes and veins without coming in contact with the black crystal,” Jasmine replied. “I have told you I have not come across this crystal of a thing. I have not seen it, I have not touched it, and please try not to pull my pants down in public,” Max replied. “You humans are so much ungrateful and will never stop lying,” said Jasmine as she turned facing the other direction. “That’s why for eons I have so much avoided coming in contact with the humans,” she added as Max glanced at her with his mouth wide open. “What the hell does she mean?” Max rhetorically asked himself.
