Microfiction/ Flash Fiction Theme: Peaceful Daemons
Title: Daemons not Demons
“You hired two demons to be bouncers for our bar? Demons… the supernatural race known for its violence.” I whisper to my brother.
“They’re not demons, they’re daemons. They’re peaceful, gentle giants, I’m telling you.” my brother looks nervous.
“They were cheap, weren’t they.”
“Yeah, they were insanely cheap.”
I watch as the two hulking daemons grab the heads of a trouble-making group of goblins. The daemons proceed to chuck the goblins out, like softballs, through the open 3rd story window.
“Hey, they didn’t eat them.” Seeing my reaction, he amends, “Not that they do that, they’re peaceful daemons.”

This theme was difficult. I had a hard time coming up with something that fit the theme. I hope you all like it. Also, “daemons” has 5 different definitions. (Look them up if you’re curious.)
