Short story+Completed
Every year, December 13th is a day full of fear and uneasiness for the people living in this small town.
The sun has not yet risen, but there is already a heavy atmosphere filling the streets, as if even the air is preparing for something ominous to come.
The windows and doors of every household are tightly nailed with thick wooden boards. This is the only defensive measure they can do, although everyone knows that these fragile barriers are useless in the face of the power of the devil.
Twenty years ago, the devil first appeared in this peaceful town. Since then, this day has become a nightmare in people's hearts.
On this day, a demon with horns on his head will come to arrest people, and the people who are captured will never appear again. So on this day every year, priests sacrifice to the demons in exchange for the peace of others.
Today was Colin's turn to sacrifice. It was different from the past, but it involved a shocking secret.
