Setting of Devil's story


My story will take place in a psychiatric hospital in the year 2015. The patient will be admitted into the hospital on a rainy night, July 8. She is a 19 year old Caucasian with blonde hair, and her name is Amelia Rosenberg. She is 5 foot 7 inches and weighs approximately 150 pounds. I want to have this story to take place in a Psychiatric hospital because I want the reader to feel the sense of confusion and gloom. Her friends have reported that she has just recently been drawing random shapes around the house, and mumbling something sounding like a completely foreign language. They also have reported that she frequently loses focus and when she comes back into reality, she starts screaming and acting as though she doesn’t have a clue where she is. She has had a physical examination before coming to the psychiatric hospital, and doctors have found marks and bruises on her arms and legs. They suspect that she had done it to herself or she had been abused. This has never happened to her before. All of this was reported to have started a month before she was admitted to the psychiatric hospital. The night she was admitted, she began to levitate in midair. Her friend, Carla witnessed the whole account, and she called 911. One of the best psychologists of the time, named Dr. William Milford, enters and begins to have a private interview with Amelia.

            The devil is perceived differently in many cases. The devil in the bible is a fallen angel, who temps people and makes them stray away from God. The devil in the bible also seems to be working with God, by His side. This devil does not seem to have a definite form. He is morphing into one form from the other. On the other hand, the devil in Paradise Lost is working against God in all ways. This devil is a giant dragon, who breathes fire and call all of the shots. The devil in Paradise lost is an evil tempter, who has been eternally punished By God. In Both cases, the devil is the tempter, who always makes people stray away from God. Now the devil in the song by the Rolling Stones seems to be a cool rock and roll devil. Many people relate with this devil. This devil is the typical red, human-looking devil with the pointy tail. People sympathize with this devil, and actually think of him as one of us. Finally the devil in my story will be living and breathing inside the body of a 19 year old girl. I want to have this devil in human form because I want to show that the devil is a part of the common people. Everyone has a characteristic of the devil inside of them. In this story I want to exaggerate on this point that brings the devil to life.
