Dedicated to Desire’ who kept after me to do the comic.
Doctor says, “Precisely. The account my friend and confidant, Persephone Bright, has so colorfully regaled us with, bears upon your case young man. Conjuring the demons from hell was the work of the major media corporations.”
“Don’t misunderstand me: The black magic used by the corporations does not derive from the The Key of Solomon or the Necronomicon. Such volumes are the resort of the feeble minded.”
“The black magic is mind numbing and relentless. The broadcasting of salacious and violent imagery, as well as outright lies, instill cruelty, prejudice, and hatred in the audience. The media’s Satanic signals open the doors of hell.”
“Now we begin to approach your situation my good man. The media incantations or broadcasts conjure vampires, demons, wraiths and what have you. The electrical grid empowers the hell spawn to invade human psyches via electrical signals.”
“It remains only to ascertain the demonic entity troubling you. But first answer me: where is hell my good fellow?”
The young man says, “Some believe it is a spiritual state beyond our material world.”
The doctor says, “Persephone?”
Persephone replies, “Heaven and Hell are in our mind and heart.”
Doctor, “Precisely. Now my young sir, tell us your troubles.”
The young man, “My,,,”
Doctor, “Egad, just as I thought: you met a woman online on some dating site.”
Young man, “Yes, I…”
Doctor, “You try to arrange a meeting with her but it never seems to come about.”
Man, “I…”
Doctor, “Yet she continues to fire your love interest by texting she wants to have sex with you.”
Man, “Uh…”
Doctor, “And she wants to borrow money from you.”
Man, “Well….”
Doctor, “No doubt about it my boy, your love interest is an electric psychic vampire.”
Persephone says, “We must act quickly. Your health and sanity are in grave danger.”
Doctor, “What should our first move be Persephone?”
Persephone, “We must go to the Oak Hill cemetery tonight.”
Man, “But Adriana is not dead.”
Doctor, “Tut, Tut, young man, you know nothing of the occult sciences nor scientific occultism. Electrical power lines, WiFi, and radio signals attract demonic entities and vivify spirits trapped on Earth. Ghost towns, cemeteries, political rallies, and sporting events give demonic entities bodily form.”
Desmond, the young man asks, “What grave will we be looking for?”
The doctor shouts, “There.”
The doctor says to Desmond, “Quick we must go to your home at once. Your life depends on it.”
Desmond says, “My home isn’t by the light rail and the buses have stopped running.”
Doctor, “I’ll call a taxi.”
Desmond, “A taxi! What museum will you call?”
Doctor, “Very amusing dear boy. A taxi is much more atmospheric, don’t you think? Remember all those film noirs. all those romantic conversations….”
Doctor, “Excellent choice of a neighborhood, allow me to congratulate you my boy. very urban romantic, even Gothic. I see your neighborhood has yet to be invaded by the wraith of redevelopment with its horrifying renovations.
The vampire hisses, “Ah Doctor Cazamayu, the legions of hell cannot wait to torment you beyond the tortures of the damned. Do you hear Cazamayu? You are condemned as a heretic.”
The doctor says, while brandishing a cross, “A demon is hardly the voice of God’s judgement.”
The vampire says to Desmond, “Kiss me Desmond. I am the one you long for. We embraced many times in your dreams. Now we can love as spirit and flesh.”
The doctor shouts, “Die spawn of hell!”
Desmond says, “You wrecked my computer.”
The doctor says, “Now you are safe. Be sure to hang a wreath of garlic around every electrical outlet. Come Persephone our work here is done.”
Desmond cries out, “Who is paying for my computer?”
