Graffiti and the Infernal Muse

In the Chamber of Unholy Canvases, where spray-paint fumes mingled with brimstone, the demon Vexroth posed. His wings stretched like cracked leather, their veins pulsing faintly as the photographer, a scrawny human named Jules, adjusted his vintage Rolleiflex. “Tilt your horns left—yes, perfect!” Jules hissed, sweat beading under his beanie. The gallery’s curators had called it “Postmodern Inferno”—a showcase where demons weren’t exorcised, but exhibited. Vexroth’s tail twitched, splattering ink-like drool on the geometric graffiti. Critics would call it avant-garde. Jules called it “insurance money”. As the shutter clicked, Vexroth’s yellow eyes narrowed. The wall’s abstract shapes seemed to writhe, echoing his smirk. Tomorrow, the photo would trend online. Tonight, the gallery’s janitors would scrub demonic residue off the floor.
