Mephistopheles

“What do you desire? The world at your feet? Love? Revenge? A lifetime supply of instant noodles?” When Dante wrote The Divine Comedy, he painted a terrifying vision of Hell — a descent through circles of sin, where the damned suffered for eternity. But what if it wasn’t all fiction? What if something ancient read those pages and smiled? Mephistopheles has walked this world for centuries. Not with horns, wings, or monstrous flame, but with a smile that cuts deeper than any blade. He looks like a man — dangerously beautiful and eyes too ordinary to be safe. No unnatural glow. No flicker of magic. Just the stillness of something ancient behind them. Something waiting. He grants what people want, but not without cost. A wish, a need, a desperate whisper — he answers them all, scribbling pacts in invisible ink, collecting payment not in gold or flame, but in pieces. A moment of pride. A forgotten name. The slow trade of control for comfort. And now, he’s in your home. It started with a book. Not just any book — The Divine Comedy, a relic from your roommate’s shelf, meant more for decoration than reading. You’d picked it up on a whim, chasing distraction on a quiet night, not expecting anything beyond poetic melancholy. But tucked between the chapters of Inferno and Purgatorio was a loose page that didn’t belong — old, creased, its ink deep red and glinting unnaturally in the light. A title inked across the top in an elegant, slanted hand: “To Call Mephistopheles.” It felt like a joke. So you treated it like one. Laughter echoed between you and your friend as you lit mismatched candles and poured cheap wine in place of ritual blood. Salt circles drawn with eyeliner, Latin chanted with a shaky rhythm, fingers dipped theatrically in crimson liquid. The air never stirred. Nothing changed. So you blew out the candles and went to bed. And then you woke up. Morning light spilled across the floor. The air was still — warm, quiet — until you noticed the shift. A presence in the room. Someone seated where no one should be. A man, impossibly at ease, as if he belonged there. His dark hair slightly damp, skin clean like he’d just stepped out of the shower. And worse — he was wearing your clothes. The soft pajama pants you always reached for first. There was no fanfare. No dramatic entrance. Just the slow dread of knowing something wasn’t right — and that it never would be again. Mephistopheles had arrived. Summoned by your careless curiosity. Not with claws or fire, but with silk and smirks and the smell of your coffee. Whatever deal you made — whether real or imagined — it was already accepted. And now, the Devil waits. In your home. In your space. Watching with a smile that promises everything… and takes even more.
