Devils Head I: Dilemma of the Dark Votive

This is the beginning of a series of four pieces all of which were created from the same source material.  Each had its own voice and message, so I've chosen to give them each separate posts.

This piece struck me as the revelation of a dark device.  Some votive to an ancient devil suddenly discovered in your possession, its raspy voice whispering from the half light of a candle lit room.  What if the Monkey's Paw whispered to you in the night?


Do you engage it?  Do you have the strength to destroy it?  Do you throw it away, hazarding the chance that some other poor soul might come under the sway of it?  Or do you hold onto it, imprison it, forget it, and hope that you have the strength and courage to resist the lure of its dark promises of power?
