Heck..I wonder if my mom will get me a demon for a pet if I'm really good. My husband says no more animals.

How great would it be to have a pet that yells IX’THOR DEMANDS SACRIFICE! when he is hungry?

"The demon inside didn’t have a long, shiny mane. It didn’t have any hair at all, at least not that Mathilde could see. All she saw was a tiny, black, hooded robe that hovered above the bottom of its cage on a billowing cloud of inky blackness. Its eyes were two red stars that twinkled in the darkness of its hood like distant Christmas lights."

I'm not quite sure how to express my thoughts on this short story. I can understand why some people find it "fun" and "sweet," and I can see those elements to a certain extent. But I'm also uncertain about the overall message or takeaway from this story. It feels like there might be something missing, but that's also because I am not the intended audience.

Overall, I guess it's somewhat enjoyable. Two and a half stars.

Can a story be absolutely adorable and creepy at the same time? Yes, it can. I can't even begin to explain the genius that is this short story. Do yourself a favor and go read this.
