Night Before Christmas

It was supposed to be a night like any other, but when Ezekiel Kane stumbled into a cursed ritual on Christmas Eve, the world as we know it shattered. He never meant to open it—never meant to unleash the darkness that had been sealed away for millennia. But some powers are too terrible to be contained forever, and the Devil’s breath—an ancient, apocalyptic force—was waiting for the right moment to break free. That moment is now. The night sky bleeds with blood-red clouds, and the earth trembles as unspeakable creatures rise from the abyss. Ancient gods descend to reclaim what is theirs—humanity’s last breath. The dead walk again, and the world is drowning in its own terror. There is no safety. There is no escape. As Ezekiel becomes the unwitting vessel of this cosmic nightmare, his body and soul are torn apart by forces beyond comprehension. His connection to the Book of Shadows gives him power—but that power comes at a price. The line between man and monster blurs as he struggles to control the hellish abilities coursing through his veins, knowing that every use of his power brings him closer to becoming the very thing he fears. Haunted by the ghosts of those he’s damned and stalked by a god who seeks to consume him, Ezekiel is dragged deeper into a nightmare where sanity is the first casualty, and death is only the beginning. With the help of Mara, a mysterious, fierce ally hiding secrets of her own, Ezekiel must fight to survive against horrors that defy all logic. But the gods are not the only threat. There are darker things waiting—things that were never meant to walk this earth. As the night grows colder and the horrors mount, Ezekiel realizes the truth: the Devil’s breath isn’t just the death of the world—it’s the birth of something far worse. A reckoning is coming. The sky will burn. The earth will crack. And when the last breath is drawn, no one will be left standing.

As Mia drove through the bustling city streets, her heart began to race—not from the traffic, but from the chilling knowledge that a bomb had been planted in her car. The news had come through a frantic message on her phone, a warning from an anonymous source that sent her spiraling into a state of panic. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as she fought to maintain control. With every red light, her dread deepened. She knew that the moment she stopped the car, the bomb would detonate. The thought of leaving her Lysander behind filled her with a profound sense of sorrow. They had so many plans, dreams of a future together that now felt impossibly distant. With trembling hands, she picked up her phone and dialed Lysander’s number. “Mi Amore?” Lysander’s voice came through, laced with concern. “What’s wrong?” Mia smiled sadly, he could always tell when something was bothering her and yet she was going to leave him. “Lysander , I need you to listen to me,” she said, her voice quivering. “ You’re a very great person. I never thought I would find this type of love. I only thought love like this was just a fairytale. But you….you….” Mia paused taking in a deep breath. “Anna? What’s happening? Is something wrong? You’re scaring me.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she turned her head towards the backseat where the bomb sat. How could she tell this to Lysander? She was going to die and leave him. She was going to leave him alone with the thoughts and dreams they shared. Silence hung heavy on the line, and Anna could almost hear the rapid beating of her heart. “I just found out…… I… I don’t have much time,” she choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I’m so sorry, love. I won’t be able to see you again.” “Don’t say that! We’ll figure this out! Just tell me what’s happening? ” he urged, desperation creeping into his tone. “No, please, just listen. It’s too late now. I love you so much, and I want you to remember that. You’ve made my life so beautiful. I wish I could hold you one last time.” Her voice broke as she fought to keep her composure. “Anna, don’t—” “I have to go, Lysander . Just know that I’m always with you.” With that, she hung up, her heart shattering into a million pieces. She looked at the cliff ahead of her and stepped on the gas, the car racing towards the cliff. ************* In the heart of a bustling college town, twenty-year-old Anna Mia Harper is juggling classes, bills, and a growing sense of despair as an orphan navigating life on her own.

"I can help you become anything you want. What is it that you desire the most?" He asked with a soft voice while sweeping the hair from her forehead. "You really thought that I'd sincerely embrace someone as lowly as you?" Embarrassed, she avoided his gaze and clenched her hands until they turned white. "Even your thoughts are silly. You are well aware of my identity…" "Yes, I know." "Then say it. Who am I?" The hand that was playing with her hair traveled down past her chin and ended up around her throat. Testing the strength of his grip, he slowly started applying more pressure and forced her to look at him. Her breathing became painful as he lifted her up by the neck until her heels raised slightly from the floor. "I also hold your sister's fate in the palm of my hand."
