About the author
Marcin Wrona
10 books35 followersI was hooked on phonics even before I caught a glance of the other end of the Berlin Wall.
When my father read to me, I pointed at this combination of letters and that and asked what sound it made, in the hope that I might eliminate the middle-man and read at my own monomaniacal toddler pace.
When my mother took me with her to the store, I would stand ramrod straight, puffed up with the gravitas of three-year-old with something important to say, and would recite to all and sundry the poems that I, armed with my new knowledge of 'rz's and 'ci's, had learned.
I devoted myself to words and their placement in sequence well before I knew that I'd done so, and though there have been times when this love has waned and times when it has waxed, it has never faded. Thank you for allowing me to share it.

What would you do if you were offered everything - everything you ever wanted - just to take part in a ritual to call Baphomet into the world? #baphomet is a twitter group for disciples of Baphomet, and lord_gabe is the latest member of the group - he just needs to perform a ritual, and then he will get anything he wants. Of course, it's not necessarily easy - and besides, is it really safe to trust a demon?
The story is very well-written - it's very short, but you get a full story out of the few pages, which is nicely done. There is a scene with a cat that I was unhappy with, but I'm like that. If you like quirky, speculative fiction, you should definitely check "#baphomet" out.

The cat thing put me off. I know it's silly, but it did.
