“Don’t you need to get ready to go?” she asked.<\/p>\n
“It’s ok,” he said. “I can get out at the next stop. I’m really enjoying talking with you.”<\/p>\n
She blushed prettily. “Does that mean you want to hear the rest of my theory?”<\/p>\n

“Yes,” she continued, “I think demons use desire as a way to steal time. It’s their power. People’s lives generally move forward, until they meet their demon. The jealous demon takes that away.”<\/p>\n

“I see what you’re saying,” he said, “After that, all the alcoholic does is circle around that bottle. The demon wins.”<\/p>\n
