[ WP ] While putting your favorite condiment on a sandwich , you accidentally draw a symbol that summons demons .

I can feel my eye swelling shut and it stings. I start making a turkey sandwich and I just hope it's enough to please Mike, I can feel my eyes water and my hands shake I'm scared. I knew he was having a bad day I should n't have set him off by asking him about it. I keep praying to myself `` Please, let this help. Please, let this help.'' I am trembling while I'm reaching for the honey mustard and seeing the bottle I have a small comfort that this was something Mike and I bonded over during the good times, when he was gentle and his hands only ever brushed my face tenderly. Honey mustard tastes like a happier time. I am absentmindedly applying the mustard thinking about how much Mike really does love me, when I hear 
 
 `` ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE ALL GOD DAMN DAY TO MAKE ME THIS SANDWICH?!'' 
 
 I jump and squirt the last of the mustard hurriedly when the kitchen windows burst open. I grab the sandwich and rush to tell Mike what happened. `` Took you long enough.'' Mike grumbled as I run into the room. 
 
 `` Mike the kitch-'' 
 
 `` The fuck is this?!'' Mike interrupts 
 
 `` It's turkey, with-'' 
 
 `` No, what the fuck is this? You know I like the sandwich cut diagonally, this is n't even cut in half! you know I like to eat the middle part first!'' 
 
 `` I'm sorry, it's just that in the kitch-'' 
 
 `` I DO N'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR EXCUSES! I WORK HARD ALL DAY AND ALL I ASK FOR IS A LITTLE GOD DAMN RESPECT!'' 
 
 `` I'll take it back and cut it for you, here let me fix it.'' 
 
 `` FIX IT?! NO!'' He says as he picks the sandwich up from the plate and throws it at me `` YOU WILL REMAKE IT, STOP WASTING MY GOD DAMN FOOD AND DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!'' He booms at me pushing me to the ground and throws the plate painfully into my face. He has busted my lip open and maybe broken my nose but I pick up the plate and leave the room I know how much he hates seeing my cry, I do n't want to make things worse anymore then they already were. I had forgotten about the activities in the kitchen when I rounded the corner to see a giant creature in my kitchen. This creature was so tall it nearly hit ceiling, yet it was so slender that for a second I thought it could be a large snake but I saw it had limbs. It seemed to be made of black smoke, and yet if I had the courage to reach out and touch it I was sure that I would touch a solid object 
 
 `` Mistress you're hurt'' it said in a deep grumble that reminded me of a thunderstorm. I was frozen in place, what did it mean mistress, who or what was this thing? `` Mistress let me help you.'' It said reaching for my face, I flinched and could only manage the tiniest of squeaks but I feel the gentle hand I had long since forgotten touch my face and I no longer felt any pain. 
 
 `` Who are you? what are you doing here?'' I was finally brave enough to ask. 
 
 `` I am your personal demon, Aatami, you summoned me mistress'' he's thunder voice gently rolled 
 
 `` You have been mistaken, I am a good woman I do n't summon evil!'' I said more as a plea then anything. 
 
 `` I am not evil, just because some demons are does not mean I am. It would be like comparing all humans to Jeffery Dahmer. It's just unfair to do such do n't you agree?'' The demon says leaning in and it is only now that I can see the twinkle of it's gray eyes, I am suddenly reassured that everything will be alright, I am safe it's presents. 
 
 `` BITCH, YOU BETTER HURRY UP WITH THAT SANDWICH I ALREADY WAITED LONG ENOUGH!'' Mike shouts down the hall. 
 
 `` I have to hurry!'' 
 
 `` No, mistress allow me,'' the gentle thunder of its voice calms my panic. Aatami waves their hand and the most beautiful sandwich appeared. 
 
 `` Thank you Aatami,'' I say and walk down the hall to deliver the sandwich. 
 
 `` You know I love you, right babe?'' Mike asks as I set the sandwich next to him. My heartbeats, I am about to reassure him that I know he loves me and I love him too when he adds `` You're just a dumb cunt sometimes you know,'' and he takes a bite of the sandwich. `` You just ca n't appreciate how good you have it here.'' Suddenly a dozen demons similar to Aatami enter the room and start grabbing Mike and dragging around the room and pulling him in the air, Mike struggled against them. 
 
 `` AATAMI HELP!'' I scream 
 
 `` I am mistress'' Aatami says calmly as if these events in the living room were normal, mundane events. `` He is being judged and sentenced for the crime against my mistress.'' 
 
 `` FUCKING BITCH! YOU BETTER HELP ME! THIS IS YOUR FAULT! YOU SET ME UP!'' Mike shouted in between his struggles against the demons. 
 
 `` Sentenced to what?'' I asked Aatami quietly and staring at Mike helplessly, but just then I saw Mike's angry eyes that burned into me change to fear and disappear. 
 
 `` Eternity'' Aatami said, `` It would appear that he did not pass the judgement, and he will now be at the receiving end of the hate and evil he harvested throughout his life.'' 
 
 `` What about me? Do I pass the judgement, after I killed the man I love?'' I ask tears rolling down my face. I felt ashamed and betrayed trusting Aatami, for believing that there was anyone here to help me. Aatami seemed to know this and said 
 
 `` You nor I were the cause of his death, he had the opportunity to live happily but his wish was to only bring more harm to you. We heard your prayer was pure, you love and see the good even when looking at evil. You were judged when you summoned me and passed, I gave Mike the opportunity and he failed.'' 
 
 `` I do n't know how I summoned you but I'm glad I did. I am so sad to lose Mike but I'm sure everyone was right, he was going to kill me one day.'' 
 
 `` He was going to kill you tonight, after he ate the sandwich he was going to get upset at some other small thing and take things too far. I thought you knew and that was why you drew our symbol in the mustard.'' Aatami said. I did n't know what to say, it was a purely an accident that saved me and I do n't know if I should feel comforted in the fact that I was saved or scared that I did n't see it coming. 
 
 `` Aatami, will you stay with me and keep me safe?'' I ask. 
 
 `` Always Mistress, from now until eternity I will ensure that nothing but good enters your life from now on.''
