Hex Me Not

"Some doors should never be opened. Some names should never be spoken."

After years of relentless bullying, sixteen-year-old Phoebe has stopped believing that anyone will ever come to save her. One stormy night, a forgotten Ouija board tucked away in her attic becomes a desperate escape from her loneliness. She whispers a single question into the darkness.

Something answers.

The entity that crawls from the veil is ancient, patient, and impossibly dangerous. It calls itself a demon, but it acts less like a monster and more like a silent shadow that never leaves her side. One by one, those who torment Phoebe begin to vanish under terrifying, unexplained circumstances.

Everyone believes a serial killer is stalking the town.

Only Phoebe knows the truth.

The demon insists every death is a gift. Every act of violence is protection. Every drop of blood is proof that she belongs to it. As whispers spread, detectives close in, and the line between reality and nightmare fractures, Phoebe must uncover the demon's true purpose before the ritual that summoned it is completed.

Because sending it back may cost her soul.

And keeping it means condemning everyone she loves.

Some curses are spoken.

This one answers back.
