Summoning the Anti-Christ

              So, now comes the hard part, turning off the lights. The last job of closing up the church after Sunday worship was always Randy’s least favorite job. Even in a church, no, ESPECIALLY in a church, things like dark hallways and rooms were always very creepy. The red “EXIT” signs didn’t help matters either, giving an ominous red glow to the hallways. Usually, Randy meticulously turned out the lights in such a way to where he never had to walk in the dark, or at least for very long, but today he had to hurry, his plans required more time than he would have if he went about his usual way. After he had turned off all of the lights came the pivotal moment, turning off the lights in the sanctuary. If everything had gone well, he would have completed his purpose in life.

The red glow from the “EXIT” signs were nothing compared to the glow that began to appear in the center of the sanctuary, only illuminating the dark form rising in the center of the room. It was done. The Anti-Christ has awoken.

I didn't really have anything in mind writing this, just sort of went where my mind took me. The hardest part was getting the story to go somewhere I could take it to a conclusion I liked, which consists of mind-fuck moments and summoning things going horrible wrong. I like writing stories about tampering with things beyond our understanding or without knowing the whole story mostly because of how believable it is because it's what humans do. I don't particularly like how it ended up, but I did most of what I could. Oh well. 300 words minus title and this bit.
