WP Prompt asks us: If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?
It would be easy to jump into the skin of the one of the many, many characters that I love from books like Blossom Culp from ” Ghosts I Have Been ” or the demon that you see briefly in the film ” The Exorcist ” but those would be an easy answers because both of the characters I mentioned are human- or at least one looks human-ish. Its not like I had to think hard to come up with those answers.
For example:
Blossom and Pazuzu have two things in common- they sail into one adventure ( or human body ) without a second thought and just when you think you’ve got them down they get back up and win the day. They are both fight against the limits imposed upon them and lets face it- a girl who can talk to the ghost of a woman who hung herself in the kitchen and saves the poor tormented ghost and a demon who fights ( like Hell ) to make themselves heard are my kind of heroes. The frosting on the cupcake here is this- in Both Blossom and Pazuzu scare the people around them- no matter how hard they try to be brave Blossom and Pazuzu make their time count.


The demon Pazuzu as it briefly appears in 1973’s The Exorcist and it’s real life counterpart
But you know the saying- go big or go home, so if I could be one character to be it would have to be ” Church ” from Pet Semetery.

” Church”
Pet Semetery 2019
I like the idea of Church- he gets hauled off to the Pet Semetery after he’s hit by a car by the Father of his ower and what comes back isn’t Church. It’s something else but that something else has it in for Louis Creed and you can’t help but to feel that a little of that malice that fueled the Cat that came back from the Pet Semetery belonged to the real Church.
That goes to show you that you can try to take the Cat out of body but Hell or high water it will find it’s way back in again-
with style:
