Summoning

John never believed it would work—not really. The robe, the candles, the words... they were part of an act. A performance. But when the mirror swallowed the light and something looked back, it stopped being fiction.What began as a harmless ritual becomes a slow descent into horror as John realizes he's truly summoned a demon—and bound himself to it. His mother doesn't believe him, but she's all John has. And now the demon wants more.
