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.
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!
Evil knows the power of words. Well done, Bill.
I think so, too. Words are evil's playground.
I'm glad you enjoyed the story, Mark. Thanks.

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed The Darkest Dungeon. This may be one of my stories that gets a longer treatment. I'm curious about what happens next.
I wonder if there a similar prison for the words redacted from secret military and government reports?
It wouldn't surprise me if such a place existed.
I was really in the mood for fantasy tonight. Thanks for this.
I'm glad I could satisfy your itch for fantasy.

Thanks, Jilly. I'm glad you enjoyed The Darkest Dungeon. I'm getting ready for Halloween.
That was great. I had forgotten how well you write!
Thanks, Cyn. I'm happy you liked The Darkest Dungeon.
I'm not sure I will open another book.
Books are...powerful.
Great premise for a book.
Thanks, Kathy. I like that idea.

Thanks, Gail. I'm glad you enjoyed The Darkest Dungeon.
Words can do anything; their powers are unstoppable.
Yes, "Prisons exist for a reason". Well done, Bill! Good warm up to October.
