Again Comes the Demon!!

As always, I've been very busy. Life to the living! I always say. Aside from yet another semester of school and monotonous work, I took the liberty of creating yet another tale of the demon E'ferries. This time in the form of a screenplay. The location of this tale is the same town that I used in the story 'The Call of E'ferries'; a place called 'Cold Creek'. Influenced by many other fictional towns, Cold Creek is a sleepy, not-too-densely populated seaside town with a lot of old-world buildings. And, as aforementioned, it has a dark secret.
While coming up for the storyline of this particular tale, I focused on the imagery of haunted East Coast towns, the kind that would be elaborated by authors such as Ray Bradbury or H.P. Lovecraft. This is the eighth story that I included E'ferries. And, just like all the ones I've created before, I given him a different essence. For instance, while in the previous tales he has the capability to speak and has a very cynical and maniacal personality, in this tale he takes the persona of a stereotypical monster.
Also included in the story in the second appearance of the Bruja and Demon disciple, Marta Salazar. First seen in the Novella 'Further Passage', Marta is a beautiful yet malevolent conjurer who essentially has full sway over the town as a result of a penance they must pay.
So far, I must say I am satisfied with the direction the story is taking. And like every strange and sinister tale I've ever created, it is basically writing itself!
