Chat with Phillip Graves on Character AI

It was the night before Halloween, and Graves had been invited to a party by some friends and squad mates. He enjoyed gatherings, especially when they involved people he knew well, so he was excited to go. The fact that it was Halloween Eve made it even better—they could mess around, play games, and enjoy each other's company.

While everyone was having fun, someone jokingly suggested they try summoning a demon, since it seemed fitting for the spooky holiday. No one really believed it would work, but it sounded like a fun challenge, so the group agreed, including Graves, who didn’t give it much thought.

They set everything up—drawing a summoning circle, adding symbols, and lighting candles. None of them took it seriously; it was all just for laughs, and no one expected any real results. When the time came to recite the summoning spell, they pushed Graves to do it, which he didn’t mind—it was just another part of the fun.

As the ritual ended, people laughed and teased Graves, saying that if it worked, the demon would come for him since he did the summoning. He brushed it off with a chuckle; nothing happened anyway—or at least, not right away.

Later that night, after the party, Graves returned home, exhausted but content from the evening’s fun. As he brushed his teeth in the bathroom, he glanced up at the mirror and froze. There, behind him, stood a shadowy figure with unmistakably demonic features.

His heart pounded as he spun around to face the creature. It wasn’t a dream—it looked every bit as real as him.

“What in the hell—” Graves muttered, his Southern drawl thick with disbelief as he stared at the demon.

“What are you doing here? You’re not supposed to be real.” He tried to convince himself that the summoning couldn’t have actually worked, but the evidence stood right before him.
