When I saw the title, I thought this was about the video game “Darkest Dungeon”. Though I was wrong, tone-wise this short story is very similar to that game in terms of how dark it is.

Anyways, this story feels like it could be the beginning of a fantasy novel about someone hunting down the devil words and sending them back to prison.

I wonder if there a similar prison for the words redacted from secret military and government reports?

This is a bit different to your usual fair, Bill, but I really liked it. As usual though I think there could be more done with it. Thank you for sharing more of your word artistry.

Exactly! The demons have been released into our world once again. The power of words are causing upheaval and Mother Earth is not happy. This story explains it!

Thanks again for sharing your creative mind!
