The spindly brown insect bore itself through my best friend’s skin into the muscle of his bicep. There was no blood but the red eyes were glowing against the inside of his skin. I started to worry as I felt heat rise up, he told me to run but I was scared. As he started to catch fire, once more he told me to run, so I ran. I turned around and watched the house catch fire. As I turned back around I saw something walking out of the house and it was my best friend, who was turned into a demon. There were two horns on his forehead, he had a devilish smile, and he was on fire. I was scared and shocked to see what I saw, I thought my eyes were deceiving me. I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to help him, but I felt his presence disappear. I got sad and angry. I didn’t know what I was angry about, but I was mad, and out of that anger something happened.
