I like the idea of a demon-inspired Christmas. I'm one of those people who hates the waste - all that leftover
And I like Donaloca. The idea of being a truly horrible woman appeals to me.

Thanks!
I'm hoping that I can flesh her out so she's more three-dimensional, though.
My story would be considered rubbishy by one of my high school English teachers, who insisted that it's a cop out to base your story on dreams.
A lot of people dislike Christmas. In future installments, there will be demons who go out into the world and arrange for people to *not* get the gifts they want. And other demons who encourage children to not respect their parents. That's two of the ten commandments broken already.

I've now loaded episodes #6 - 10 to this entry. Episode 11 has also been written, but I won't load it until I'm up to number 15.

I've loaded episodes 11 through 15 now.
I apologize for the many typos that I didn't notice when I was first posting the episodes.

Episodes 1-25 have been loaded so far. The story seems to tell itself. I hope it can end itself as well on the 30th
I've tried to think of back-stories for most of the characters. I had intended to give Sonia an interesting job in the arts, but Ralph's story arc hogged the limelight. At last there was enough of a lull to bring Sonia's work as a photographer's aide into the picture.
Tonight I will need to think of some interesting pun on some animal's name to use for a Christmas photo op.

It's all done now.
I bowed to the fact that characters have a way of taking over a story and writing it themselves.
Anyway, I hope that you've enjoyed reading it. It was fun to write, though the last week was an anticlimax, since the article Ralph was supposed to write got submitted.
