Oh, that’s right, we talk about your love life. We sit with you in class. We know all about that thing you did last night. How do we know? We watch you. We go to those dance clubs with you. We scheme hideous outcomes for you. We know exactly what it is that will get you to our side. We create those wrong friendships you wished you never had. We invite you into those relationships that break your heart. We give you the life you never wanted, but it came at such a sweet price. We promised you the world and you took it like a kid wanting candy. All. Too. Easy. All I can say is, please, don’t let me get in the way of the worst ending of your life. I’m right behind you. I’ll open that door to frustration, nonsense and destruction.
Please. After You.

A Note To My Readers
Although this is a story about demons in Hades, I do not want this piece to be depicted as the gospel. This is merely a fictitious look inside the minds and motivations behind the Enemy's work. I tried to depict the City of the Underworld, its Leader and surrounding minions in a way that would carefully craft the horrid descriptions of Hades. I have given my characters the right to evolve and transform in their own way, giving each the freedom to choose Evil or Good as Jesus Christ would do. What happens in this book is merely a journey from one evil mind to the next and what happens when the spiritual meets the natural. Let me lift the curtain as we enter the screaming terrors of the demonic and reveal what lies beneath the surface, literally speaking.

A WORD FROM A CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
– Ephesians 6:12
“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions, with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert, and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” – Ephesians 6:18
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. What I really loved is the way Sunshine has so wonderfully brought these Scriptures to life through this story. She writes with such beautiful creativity. Her passion to see followers of Jesus use more effectively one of the greatest tools we could ever be given, the tool of prayer, is evident. Her love for Jesus and His love for us shines through and challenges Believers to partner with the Holy Spirit and engage in spiritual battle for those who have been wounded and crushed by life.
Scripture commands us to “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith” (1 Peter 5:8–9A). The best way to accomplish that is through prayer, not only for ourselves but for others as well! We need to pay close attention to those around us, looking past what we might see on the surface. We have no idea what people are dealing with or the hurts and wounds that have been inflicted upon them. How many people would find freedom from the chains that imprison them if we only took the power of prayer more seriously and disciplined ourselves to engage every day in conversation with our Abba Father! Personally, after reading this, I have been challenged to not be so complacent in my prayer life, and to be more intentional about doing battle for the lost and hurting who need me.

Chapter 1
It’s excruciating beyond measure! The noise hurts my ears. My head is shaking from the horrific impact. What are we even doing here, Jennifer?
My girl, Jennifer, and I are inseparable; I’ve been her demon for about 10 years now. You’ll have to excuse me. I was trained as a vicious devil down in Hades, but on Earth, we take on the personalities of our host and the nuances of the generation we’re in. It’s a full-time job and its pure immersion. That means for 10 years, I’ve been watching Channing Tatum movies, been involved in sleepovers, gossiping about boys, and exploring the world of nail polish and manicures. Her thoughts have become my thoughts, her interests have become my interests. It’s how we form a union, so the possession stays nice and controllable. My job is to lead her straight to Hades without her knowing. My life changed when I got deployed to the Possessions Department as a Field Minion working for Lucifer.
Textbook Page 17: A Field Minion has to maintain a host throughout the host's entire life. Its daily work for a long-term gain.
For the overachievers at this department, they’ll take the ‘Fast Track to Hades’ option: get their host to die young. You name it, they’ve done it and I will admit; it gets the job done. They add more and more names to our roster and they come back up to Earth looking for more. I guess when it comes to field work, to each their own.
But what my mentors in class taught me was a different approach: the slower kind, the make-friends-with-them, play off their weakness, “put them to sleep” option. I learned that this tactic is effective in several ways: You can influence more people to go to Hades with your host who will live long enough to saturate the atmosphere with more devilish ideas. The host can swear their allegiance to Lucifer long before they enter his realm. And finally, you have the opportunity to ruin the host completely, from the inside and out.
And that’s where I am with my girl who has always allowed me freedom to do as I wish. I give her the idea to stay up late and watch hit TV shows on her Tablet while eating chocolate frosting. She doesn’t object. I suggest to her to skip class to go on a shopping spree because she “deserves it.” She agrees with zero objections. Forget the fact that there is a test the next day that is worth 75% of her grade. It doesn’t matter that she has no money and has to use a credit card to pay for her new clothes and a pair of pink pumps. This is all side information. I run the show and she is just a puppet to my strings.
––––––––
I love the life we have together. She is so submissive to my will. She will do anything I suggest! I started out with a very easy host!
I remember when we joined teams, when she invited me in. She was about 8 years old and she was playing with that Ouija board game with her friends. In their young voices, they allowed a team of demons to enter the room, ushering in the spirit realm and opening the door for darkness. Of course, they couldn’t see us. They got a little spooked, so they stopped shortly after, closing the box as if nothing had happened. But it was just enough time for me to find my very first host.
I picked her out right away, a tall thin brunette with stunning green eyes and soon realizing once inside my new territory, she has a desperate need to be liked and beautiful.
