Two Months Ago…
Prologue:
Principal Randy Parkman sat at his desk, typing on his computer. He had to get three important emails sent out within an hour, so his fingers typed quickly. There were some kids causing some major trouble at the school, and he needed to have a meeting with the parents. The school mostly communicated with parents by email, which was useful.
There was a knock on the door. "Come in," he said, breaking his stare at the computer.
His secretary, Patricia Sandford, walked in. "Just have the mail for the day," she said, putting down a pile into his IN box.
"Thank you Patricia," he replied. She nodded before she left the room, closing the door behind herself and Randy Parkman continued to type his emails.
The principal didn't notice the black smoke come through the vent of the room and come up behind him. But he noticed when it shoved itself into his mouth and down his throat. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't move. All he could do was sit, wide-eyed, as the smoke completely entered his body.
After a few seconds, the demon blinked away the darkness in its eyes and continued to type his email.
