I have all sorts of weird experiences but thankfully never have encountered a demon personally but I know a few people who have. I used to know the diocesan exorcist for one English diocese quite well; his wife was a dear friend of mine.
I too am blonde, and some might say I need a haircut as it’s long enough to sit on, though more suited to a horse than a human as it’s very coarse. I look like a slightly civilised Viking.
I’ve had some very odd ghostly experiences too. When I was about 17 I encountered what was probably the spirit of Catherine of Aragon, imprisoned at Hinchinbroke House… but that’s another story!

I am intrigued! I am sure messing with demons is a bad thing, especially as I have no experience in that field. I am prepared to risk my hair going white or falling out though! I am blond anyway and I need a haircut!

The demon was trapped temporarily in an answer phone machine and the poor sap from the call centre got the message and the demon.
Sadly I don’t have the number but joking aside, you really really don’t want to mess with demons. I could tell you some stories that’d make your hair not just stand on end but probably turn white overnight and maybe fall out!!!
I did love the image of the bees waiting with a little deli ticket so keep it up!

No, but now I think I will. If you have the phone number for the demon I have the perfect telephone line for the demon to travel through!!!
I love your instruction and I will do exactly that. As you said, It’s a good place to start

Have you ever read Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman?
Well there is an absolutely sidesplitting episode where a demon travels down a phone line and devours the person doing the telephone sales/switchboard talk! I recommend anything by either author, by the way!
Ok, when you’ve got tomorrow out of the way with, sit down with a pen and paper and start free associating words and images concerning how all this feels. let your mind go slightly blank and see what comes and jot it down. It’s a good place to start!

You are right about the big wigs and the fat cats.
I needed to get it out of my system and only wish I had the skills of weaving it into a story like “Seminar”

I think you do have a very good grasp of it but I also think that the big wigs and fat cats are too timid to think out of the box.
great letter!

Thank you for having read through all of that. I didn’t actually expect anyone would bother!
I agree with your every word and it is a shame as it really wouldn’t take that much effort to change the situation to a much more positive one.
Right now I have a strange feeling about the whole post & Letter and I don’t know whether or not to leave it on here.

Love

Having read this, my heart is beating like a drum and I sadly realize it’s not just in my former socialist country that things don’t work as efficiently as they could for very obvious and simple reasons. And yet, the people who you would have thought should care the most turn a blind eye to it. Such a shame.

Love
