Demon Best Friend

Part 1: I Miss Him

My friend was by my side for as long as I can remember. I wasn’t even a year old at the time when he appeared to me. I was lying awake in my crib, playing with my favorite stuffed animal. I don’t remember exactly what it was. It might’ve been either a bunny or bear. Anyway, at some point, I ended up tossing the toy over the bars of my crib. Naturally, I was pretty upset by this. I was too young to walk at the time. So, all I could do was look over the bars of my crib longingly at my toy on the floor. I was about to cry and wake up my parents. But then I noticed my toy was moving. In particular, it looked to be rising off the floor. That was when I noticed the shape, rising from the darkness like a shadow.

And that’s pretty much how I’d describe Ezgon. He looked like a shadow. If a shadow had a solid presence. He was enormously tall. Because he was hunched over in my room. I saw he had pointy ears, horns, and glowing red eyes. His hands were big and his fingers looked sharp like claws. In one of his hands, he held my toy. Then smiled at me, revealing a row of pearly white, sharp teeth. Now, you all might be thinking I was scared. But, I was actually happy. Because he had given me my toy back. He looked at me for a few moments. Before footsteps could be heard coming towards the room.
