The smell of sulfur fills the air, and I rapidly step away from the summoning circle. The carefully drawn chalk pentagram fills with flame and smoke. A form begins to take shape in the fire, twisting and writhing. It pounds against the confines of the circle once, twice, thrice. I pray that the protections hold. Then, the figure speaks. Its voice bounces across the room, echoing faintly. “WHO DARES CALL UPON ME, DEVOURER OF - Wait, dude? Shit, is that you?” Silence falls. The flames flicker and die out. And in the circle… In the circle stands my best friend. Aubrey. She died in high school, ten years ago. My heart flutters. “Dude, it’s me, Aubrey! Holy shit, I can’t believe it’s you. Look at you man, you really filled out. You were skinny as a beanpole back in high school.” I don’t speak. I can’t. “Dude? Jack? Talk to me, buddy. I swear, I’m not gonna hurt you.” “…How?” I ask. “Well, you summoned me here, so I should be asking you that. Man, you really got deep into the occult stuff after I left, huh? That summoning circle’s perfect, man, I couldn’t get my claws into you even if I wanted to. And your incantations were textbook.” “No, how are you alive?” I start to find my voice. “You… you died. We mourned for you. I mourned for you. Your parents… God, what’ll they think?” She flinches as I use the word ‘God’. “It’s… a long story, Jack. I swear, this isn’t- I didn’t choose this. Well, I thought I’d have more time. Just…” I stare at her silently. “Can I come out? This circle’s really uncomfortable.” “How do I know you’re really you? How do I know you’re not just taking the form of my best friend?” “I’m still your best friend?” She brightens at that, but then grows more somber as she catches my expression. “Shit, okay. Uh… In sophomore year, you skipped school to play video games with me that time I was sick and couldn’t leave bed. You brought me doritos and that sweet tea I like.” I frown. “What game?” “Halo.” “What was the name of our sophomore English teacher?” “Mrs. Knott.” “What’s your birthday?” “June 10th. Well, actually, it’s… complicated, but that’s the date I always told everyone.” “What’s your favorite book?” “Dune.” “Milk chocolate or dark chocolate?” “Trick question, I don’t like chocolate.” “Star Wars or Star Trek?” “Dude, it’s me.” She rolls her eyes as I cross my arms. “Okay, Star Wars.” I run a foot over the chalk, breaking the summoning circle. I notice my hands are shaking a little. “…Aubrey… How?” She steps forward and gives me a big hug. “I’m so sorry, dude. I couldn’t tell you.” I haven’t been hugged like this in a long time. “What happened? Why did you leave?” She sighs. “I missed you. The deal was I’d have a lifetime, but I didn’t know she would die in high school.” “…What?” My blood runs cold. “Oh, shit, that was probably the worst thing to open with, huh. Relax, dude, I’m still the same Aubrey you knew.”
