Yes, but…

Mia grins at you.

“Jamaal, men are evil.”

Her voice hits you like a punch in the gut. You understand now. Men are evil. You struggle with you bonds. You need to free yourself and find a knife so you can end your life.

“Very nice, Mia. Don’t resist. Keep using your powers and you’ll be like me in a few days.”

Mia cups her breast. “I won’t resist. Is it always so good?”

“It gets even better. He’s just one man. Wait until you have a packed stadium!”

“Oh, fuck! That would be incredible!”

Professor Black swaggers over to you and checks your bonds. Her eyes revert to demonic slits as she looks at you.

“Jamaal, sorry about the treatment. You have done me a great service, two actually. As a demon, I have developed a sense of debt. I owe you. I promise, I have a wonderful surprise for you.”

You struggle with the bonds, still eager to end your own life. You barely hear and hardly care what she said.

They leave you to your struggles.

After a time, you question why you want to kill yourself. You still love Mia and want to save her. The magic shatters and you feel normal again.

“Shit, I wonder what the surprise is.”

You keep struggling with the zip ties hoping you don’t have to find out.
