I wake up in the cabinet where the beer kegs and mead is held. I climb out and find everything as normal. The party still continues. People are enjoying themselves. I shake off the vision and go to cut a pineapple. As I turn around I see Bey enter carrying a small case at his side. This is not Bey. He calls everyone over as before, but this time he sets down the case. I walk up and peer in to it. There is a mahogany rectangular box with a black square hook coming out of one side. In side this box, there are a couple pieces of chalk. Beside the box are three playing cards, one of which is a face card (the other two merely numbers). A chalk outline has been drawn of the three cards as though they were to be found in a solitaire pile. And lastly, a 5X4 number board:
- 3 - - 4
- - 5 - -
9 - - - -
9 - - - -
I refuse to stick around and I go out of the trailer and begin to walk up a hill and look on to the scene from a hill. Atop the hill I notice the sky darken a bit. I lie there for some time, but hear nothing come from the trailer. I then stand and begin to walk away. I feel tense. I turn and see Bey following me. This is not Bey. This time, his eyes are reddened, as though he had more veins running through the whites of his eye than was humanly necessary. I continue walking. The demon walks past, staring at me with a malevolent grin on his face. He continues on ahead. I am alone. I walk along the side of a road. I don't know how long it is before I see someone coming from the distance ahead. It is not-Bey. The demon stares at me as he walks, the same grin still on his face. When he nears me, he speaks some words to me. Persuasive conjectures and a held out hand. I am filled with dread and look for something to ward him off. I find a white wire in the sand. I grasp it firmly and give it a slight tug. It is attached to something, some distance away. I hold it firmly and show it to the demon. He frowns and says some words beneath his breathe, then walks calmly away. I follow the cord for some time, eventually coming to a small town. It goes in through a wall in a building and I circle around the complex to find an entrance. When I enter it is a seemingly small warehouse of sorts. The main "garage" seems to have been converted into a demonstration room. I spot on the far wall where from the cord enters. It runs a small distance on the ground and then attaches to an individual at his neck. His neck is not normal. It looks as though he tried to swallow a boombox whole, which just stuck there as a chicken bone...only quite noticeably. No matter the awkward site of this creature/man/individual, I was comforted by his presence. I walk up to him and he says hello. He is playing some sort of game with a stick pointed at a screen a short distance from us. He invites me to play after a moment and I happily accept. I search my pockets for change. He offers to pay as I sort but I politely decline. I eventually find enough for two or so continues. I set the reserve atop the change input and put my quarters in the machine. I have trouble seeing the screen. My vision feels cloudy. The creature/man/individual instructs me to focus and relax my eyes. He instructs me to stop squinting and blink slowly. Shapes begin to take form on the screen and I begin to make out the scape of the game, but before I can really begin to play, Bey passes by me--his eyes more red than ever. I am frozen with trepidation. I look at the creature/man/individual. He looks back reassuringly. Then, Bey appears grasping the three cards in his hand and reciting some sort of incantation. The creature/man/individual screams in pain and begins to liquidate and morph before me. He "melts" into a viscous silver purple form and then flows through the air to the top of the machine, which is only about chest level to me. The mass takes the form of a chalice full of silver blood. Within also lay a rounded piece of flat bread or cracker with a stain of the silver blood running from its center into the cup. The demon laughs and begins to bellow at me in harsh tones. He beckons to me, asking me to draw near. I am frightened. yet, despite the fear I see the chalice and grab the cracker quickly. I bite into the silver-blooded flat bread. I stare maniacally at the demon and yell "AMEN"! The demon cries out and spews forth in all directions like a thin red mist. I am left in a dark room. Empty. Alone.
