That night, I heard the voice calling me again: “It’s time.”
I woke up in the middle of the night and crept out of the window. I climbed up onto the roof, where I found Sipho waiting for me with the broom that he used to fly away to the dark world. I got on the back of the broom behind Sipho and we flew away to our killing mission. But I didn’t do any killing because I was still learning. My job was to observe how everything was done, and how powers are used to kill and to protect oneself in case I was to meet a strong spiritual person or preacher.
Sipho usually dealt with pastors. He won some battles and lost some, but his mission was to bring something back to the evil king, who ruled their dark world. Everyone there had their own targets and missions of destruction assigned to them.
If you failed to complete what you were tasked to do, you were burnt instantly. I saw some people who were very old. They ate worms, their eyes were red. You could see that they were tortured, they slept on the sand. I was shocked to see so many people there, but I didn’t feel sympathy for them. I just observed them and turned away as I was walking behind Sipho, who held a small bucket filled with blood. I followed him to see where he was really taking the blood to.
He reached a small dome, where he knelt down. The dome had a small hole, and he left the bucket there. When I asked him about that dome, he said that inside the dome there was a big hole for their Super God: the strongest of the evil Gods. When I asked him for more details about this God he said it was better if we kept quiet about it, because this was going to get him into trouble.
He then told me that you cannot hide any secret in the dark world. Everything is open, your voice and the things you say are heard by many. There are no secrets.

After some time of observation, I had now learnt to work on my demons. I had developed my own tactics. I was able to cause many accidents on many roads. After we came back from our work we went to our temple where we praised him, the devil. But then, as time went on, my assignments were getting harder as I was getting stronger. I had now weakened many churches in different places and provinces.
In the dark world, we were able to watch human movement and every person we were to hunt and kill. This made it easy for us to kill people with tattoos and people who loved fashion – because that’s the devil’s work, all those expensive shoes. Those kinds of people were already on our list. We knew that when God came to fetch his people we would burn. We knew that the end was near.

Grace seems to have adapted to his new life. Do you think he will ever go back to his normal life?
