Now, we all know what demons look like – they are creatures of immense, horrifying beauty. Even with their skin (which can range from Jet black, through fiery red, to the purest alabaster white) they possess inhuman and powerfully seductive b...
It's been a very long week at work and staying alone in a different city from your family can actually drain you emotionally and physically.

I'm trussed and gagged now, laying before the vast arched doors to the wizard's castle. My heart is pounding and I'm trembling, miserable in the cold. It's even snowing. This happens every...
