He stared at the small paranormal activity meter he held in his trembling hand. The lights were flashing brightly, indicating a nearby evil presence.
He swallowed saliva as he scanned the dark deserted street with his eyes.
Suddenly, the lights became frantic as a young woman walked past him.
He felt a shiver run down his spine. It was her, the source of that dark energy that was tormenting him.
Without a second thought, he stealthily followed her down the path to a lonely alley. There, he cornered her with his beefy body, covering her mouth to stifle her screams.
As he struggled, the meter went haywire, glowing like a ghoulish Christmas light.
-I'm sorry, but I must free you from this darkness.
He whispered before plunging his sharp razor into the woman's chest again and again until her struggling ceased.
He contemplated his handiwork bleary-eyed, watching the lights on the meter slowly fade.
A twisted smile crept across his face. He had accomplished his task, he had exorcised another tormented soul.
