The crap first draft

Just before Christmas, I realised that I’d got to the end of a first draft of a story that, since I have no better title at present, I’ll call Dust.

“There are these things out there called demons. They'll drag me off to the hell I refuse to believe in, if they get half a chance. They'll eat me alive, starting with fingers and toes.
