Thank you.

Justin Adams lay back in a chair staring at the ceiling, and he knew there was a demon inside him. The thoughts he’d had the last couple months kept getting worse, and the way he’d started acting scared his girlfriend, Jessica.
“So tell me, Justin,” Dr. Marks began, notepad in his hand, “how was your last date with Jessica? Did you two have fun? Were there any problems you faced, any evil thoughts cross your mind?”
Justin had been seeing Dr. Marks the last month or so. Jessica had recommended it. 'I’ve got a guy,' she’d said, drawing her fingers down his abs. That always calmed him down. 'And he might be able to help you. It’s worth a shot, right?'
“It was...great,” Justin finally said, searching for more words.
The timeline is shifting and that needs to be settled down a bit. I would suggest that the entire opening take place in the doctor's office and he is beginning to unload his feelings on the doctor. It gives you the opportunity to give a bit of an infodump on his condition and refer to his girlfriend in an orderly fashion.

I am intrigued. This story sounds interesting.

Also, Mrs. Brown, this story is finished. I finished it about a month ago and it stands at about 77,000 words. I also have been doing a lot of revising lately. I am currently working on my third draft now and taking things out that don't belong and what not.
I am just asking, because it doesn't hurt to ask, but would either of you be interested in taking a look at the first chapter?
