Another Vortex

After me and Tara finished up with our iron ore gathering, we did some more work around the outpost. Before we knew it, the night fell upon us. We set up a campfire, and then another vortex emerged. It was a reminder that the demons are preparing...

"It's been a nice little while since we really had any troubles," I said to Tara. "But this vortex sure is a reminder of what is to come."

"I know, Ricky," Tara replied. "Together though, we'll find a way to defeat the demons."

"I hope so," I said to Tara. "That's the least we can do if we're going to be stuck here forever."

Tara hugged me. "We have to take each day as it comes."

"Yeah, everything is just so damn unpredictable."

Is there a way to defeat the demons? I don't really know. What I do know is that they're causing much havoc in my life. I remember how life used to be before the demons. I want life to go back to those days. I will eventually learn to adapt and be happy in a ruined British Columbia, but there will never be peace and calmness with demons lurking around, demons getting inside of my mind, and the threat of a demonic apocalypse.
