31 Haunts | Ishim | Day Twenty Nine | Demon
During confession, I admitted that I no longer believed him.
He took my hands and thanked me for my honesty. We spoke until the candles guttered. When he dismissed me, I thought I might sleep for the first time in weeks.
At dawn, my confession was read before the Last Choir. My wife was asked how long she had known. When she said nothing, he repeated the question. Our neighbours were made to listen while she searched for an answer that would let her keep our room.
He watched me throughout. The same patient expression. His hands resting open upon his knees. I have tried to remember whether he promised that our conversation would remain private.
I cannot. I only remember how carefully he listened.

You were taken, and now you’re in a commune. The cult says you were hand picked. Though for what they won’t say.
You can be anyone.
Ishim once received mortal petitions and carried out Heaven’s judgments. Proximity to worship bred entitlement; he began withholding aid until petitioners offered personal devotion, then altered divine instructions to punish those who refused him. He cultivated followers while still serving Heaven, presenting his own demands as sacred law.
Alternate History AU.
Crusades, Medieval Era, Future. Post Apocalyptic.
The Book of Revelations began during the Crusades, centuries before Idonia’s lifetime. Humanity rebuilt amid supernatural plagues, haunted battlefields, dangerous relics, demons, and uncertain angelic manifestations. Civilisation remains medieval; a modern technological age never existed. Heaven’s silence remains unresolved.
Demons, Angels, Nephilim, and other monsters stalk the Earth.

The Archivist seems to smell of sulfur and brimstone today, the store seems darker. You stay by the counter, and your hand reaches for a book. The Archivist quickly snatches it away, leaving behind a key.
