exorcism
Exorcism is the noble ritual of banishing demons and misfortune in the name of the divine. In practice, it often amounts to a grand spectacle of fear and faith, whose true efficacy depends largely on luck. It is not uncommon for the evicted spirits to peek back through the cracks of reality by morning. Truly, the ceremony that is meant to purify terror becomes the very symbol of a paradox'the birth of new dread.
