Flash Fiction: Summoning Demons and Other Bad First Date Ideas
From my upcoming novel: A City of Glass & Sand
“Jonas where are we going?” P asked, struggling to keep up. Jonas was standing just ahead of her, holding both her and Willow by their wrists and dragging them along.
Both women exchanged a glance, Willow’s golden eyes were squinted, her thick lips pursed, and P looked pissed.
“I’m taking you two on a date,” he said excitedly.
“What?” Willow and P asked in unison.
“A date!” Jonas said again, turning over his shoulder to flash his teeth at them in a quick smile. “We’ve been together for forever and we’ve never really been on a date what with all this Efeara bullshit that went down and I think that right now immediately is the perfect time for us to do this.”
“Jonas have you lost your mind?” P asked.
“Plus the moon is full and the book I read said the moon needed to be full for this,” he continued on, ignoring P and Willow’s protests.
“Why does the moon need to be full for us to go on a date?” Willow asked, sounding skeptical.
“We’re going to summon a demon.”
Both Willow and P stopped at the same time. Jonas nearly yanked their arms out of their sockets pulling them forward again.
This was probably the absolute worst idea ever, but they both loved him. So they allowed it.
When they managed to summon the evil spirit of Efeara and she destroyed the whole town, they instantly regretted it, but in the end it was probably the best first date any of them could have asked for.
