Story Idea #127

Eugene C. Perkins: Accidental Lord of Darkness

Eugene is a lonely architect hanging on to the bottom rung of the ladder at his firm. He handles the projects that the other architects don’t want, which means most of his days are spent designing gaudy doghouses for ultra-rich animal lovers. Trapped in a lonely and meaningless life, Eugene copes by hanging on to the thought that his life can’t get any more miserable. But when he is given a ring for his birthday, that grants him the power to summon a horde of impish demons all too willing to do their new master’s bidding, whether he wants them to or not, will his life make a turn for better or worse?

I know worse would make the better story but I'd love to see some positivity sent out into the world so I vote for BETTER!


I feel that if you choose either direction to go, better or worse, that there should be some colorful illustrations of the ultra-lavish dog houses he produces.
