Found on Ebay. Warning! Very long product description, but worth the read.
What surprised me was that the bid amount as of this posting is at $320.
Looking at the answers and question section on the page, this whole thing sounds like a…joke auction?
Most likely, but still, I thought the story was pretty good.
Good story – reminds me of the Dybbuk box from a while back.
Either that person is insane, or a really really good story writer. Possibly both.
Doesn’t anybody bother to bind demons properly anymore?
Several dozen items in my apartment contain demons. I know because I bound them there myself. Said demons will be fully contained for slightly longer than the expected lifespan of the universe. It really isn’t that difficult. I would let children play with most of these items. The only exceptions are those which have sharp edges or may otherwise injure children. It’s not as though the demons will accidentally slip out. I sealed them in with the unseen fire and words of thunder. They will not be getting out for several billion years minimum. You want to talk about a frightening infestation in my house? I’ve got mildew beetles.
This is just sloppy work. The parents are clearly morons. After deciding the eyes were a potent evil force, they neither bound nor destroyed them. But, simply took the half-assed step of surrounding them with holiness on six sides? Aaron is clearly no Einstein either. Restoring the eyes to the bear made things much worse. But, he has not removed them and warns others against doing so. Additionally, after retrieving a larged stuffed animal from the street, he leaves it in his car overnight rather than washing it immediately? The mechanic, the electrician etc aren’t refusing to deal with him again because of any evil force. It’s just that he’s such an idiot, he’s painful to be around. A ten-year old who has read some Harry Potter could do a more competent job of dealing with a demon.
It’s not difficult people. I remember the night I bumped into neighbor throwing out a candlestick that was the earthly home of a demon. She saw my yarmulke and got all excited, thinking that I was some great holy sage who could help her. I defeated the demon using my trash. You don’t need fancy incense. I used the sacred scent of the broth in a gefilte fish jar to call upon the power of my people. Thus surrounded, the demon was powerless against me. Nor could he flee. Then, I invoked a name of power-AOL. “Yea, like these cd’s thou art. Into these cd’s shalt thou go. Forever unwanted shalt thou be. Forever unwelcome shalt thou be. Forever dormant shalt thou be. Forever shall you seek entrance into home and heart. Never shall you find it. No one shall name thee. No one shall ever speak the words that wake theee. Unlooked for, unwanted, ye shall always be cast out unto the corruption of Sheol.”
This is neither rocket science, nor brain surgery people.
