Blue Tooth

Love in a Time of Possession

Picking pickled chicken head out of his teeth with his long blue finger nail watching a re-run episode of Sodomy and Plaque, a court room drama set in hell; Errol let out a giant sigh then an even bigger fart, sinking further into his leather bound, springy cocoon. 

He’s a Blue Tooth demon. Latest generation of demon that was developed and conceived in 2000. Demons who posses their victims via their smart phones, using Bluetooth technology. Ravaging their sexting game and posting embarrassing pictures anywhere was what a low level blue tooth might get up to but the bigger hitters? They had people like Miley in toe, jumping on her fame and making her slowly but surely, take over the world. 

Errol, was on suspension. A couple of weeks ago, he'd been given a new vessel. Errol was pretty good at being horrible and a little evil but when he saw Jenny for the first time, something changed. 

From making her spend 1,000 dollars she didn't have on shoes to posting a naked picture of her as a snap chat to everyone she knew didn't put a dent in her positive attitude. She was able to laugh everything off with ease and her friends still adored her!

At first, Errol was pissed, how could this vessel be so nice? He used to get a kick out of the fits of rage he could induce but with Jenny, nothing. It was making him depressed. He stopped polishing his little green horns and kept forgetting to go to the hairdressers. He started drinking more and more ox piss and his friends stopped coming round so much because of the smell.

Errol, was falling in love. He would watch her all day through the lens on her phone and he was linked to every update and every emoticon. Dying to talk to her, Errol knew he couldn't approach Jenny in his physical form, a 7ft hairy ass green troll looking thing! No chance! He hacked into her tinder account. She'd been messaging this one looker who was Danish and Italian named Gurner. He had the great blonde hair the blue eyes and pictures of him sailing. “Big whoop!” Errol thought,  "My Dad's Beelzebub." 

Diving into the courtship dance of deception he began wooing her. Knowing all her insecurities, he played up to them offering her support and guidance, she was locked in and falling fast for Gurner/Errol. They stayed up all night, messaging each other silly things and when she called him up for the first time he had to download an accent. They spoke for hours! 

His district leader had spotted a spike in Jenny's happiness scale. It was over. They suspended his right to posses and his phone deleting all the messages between himself and Jenny. As far as he was concerned, if he couldn't be a demon with Jenny, there was no point to any of it any way. The next Sodomy and Plague rolled on.
