Submitted to Contest #300

I, Aamon—Arch-Demon of Wrath and Grand Marquis of Hell—am quite easily frightened by the disembodied spirits of the dead. While it’s an embarrassing weakness to have in Hell, here on Earth, I can fortunately play it off as having a socially acceptable, perhaps even a healthy amount of superstition.Having been banished to Earth toward the end of my losing battle against the Heavens, I have taken on the appearance of a mundane human in order to fulfill a contractual obligation to my new human companion, Alex. And although he is concerningly su...

Gostly Encounters of the Fourth Kind

Cosmic Collective

Submitted to Contest #299

Content warning: graphic sexual depictions, but it's for comedic purposes rather than erotic. I, an arch-demon, fear the spirits of the dead like an elephant fears a mouse. My human companion, though concerningly easy to possess, can’t see ghosts and fears nothing.I accepted his contract because he was lonely and naive and only asked for a friend.

Author bio

Hi, my name is Astrophel. I use they/them pronouns. I'm a queer, neurodivergent writer and content creator with Dissociative Identity Disorder. My favorite genres to write in are sci-fi, fantasy, space fantasy, isekai, and LitRPG. I'm currently working on two projects. One is my debut novel called The Immortal's Demon. It's about an immortal transgender blood witch with DID and the agender aro/ace-spec demon he tricked into a contract for his soul. The other is an episodic web series called Ghostly Encounters of the Fourth Kind. It's about an archdemon who is scared of ghosts and the human with Dissociative Identity Disorder that he is contractually obligated to be friends with, who can’t see ghosts and doesn’t believe in them, but has a ghost-hunting YouTube channel they explore haunts together for. As you can tell, I love non-human/human duo stories. And I've made it my life's purpose to create the positive and accurate representation of queer, neurodivergent, people with Dissociative Identity Disorder that is severely lacking in entertainment media.
