IN DANGER OF DEMONIC POSSESSION
DEALS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
Attention, residents of the body and mind:
This is a general notice.
No sirens required—
the danger prefers silence.
Be advised:
Demons do not arrive breathing fire.
They arrive as solutions.
As finally, as it makes sense,
as a voice that sounds like your own
on a tired day.
Please note—
If a presence offers relief in exchange for control,
if it asks only for “a little say,”
if it promises to hold the pain
for now—
this is not charity.
This is leasing.
Early warning signs may include:
– Numbness marketed as peace
– Cruelty framed as honesty
– Isolation described as protection
– A shrinking world that feels strangely orderly
Understand:
Demons thrive on delegation.
They will not seize the wheel.
They will ask politely
if you’d like a break from driving.
Do not be misled by familiarity.
A voice that knows your name
is not necessarily on your side.
A thought that repeats itself
may be rehearsed, not true.
Long-term effects may include:
Erosion of joy
Delayed grief
A life negotiated instead of lived
If you suspect possession,
do not panic.
Panic feeds them.
Instead:
Reclaim small jurisdictions.
Decide what you eat.
Who you call.
What you feel without commentary.
Remember—
You are not weak for wanting relief.
You are human.
That is why the offer worked.
This announcement will now repeat:
Anything that demands your silence as payment
is not helping you survive—
it is helping itself stay.
Stay present.
Stay loud.
Read the fine print.
This has been a public announcement
from the part of you
that still wants you here.
