A Demon possesses a child's red ball and begins bouncing up and down.
[[Bounce out of the childs room.]]
[[Hide in the child's closet.]]
[[Stop bouncing.]]
[[Kill everything.]]The Red Ball bounces loudly out of the childs room into the hallway. Behind the Red Ball is the parents bedroom, down the hall is the living room, across from the child's room is the bathroom.
[[Bounce into the parents bedroom.]]
[[Bounce into the bathroom.]]
[[Bounce into the living room.]]
[[Kill everything.]]the Red Ball bounces into the childs closet and stops bouncing.
Night falls, and the child is in bed.
[[Softly bounce against the closed closet door.]]
[[Lound bounce against the closet door.]]
[[Break everything in the closet.]]The Red Ball stops bouncing.
the child comes into and starts bouncing the ball against the wall.
[[Allow the childs to play with the red ball.]]
[[Stop against the wall.]]
[[Kill everything.]]The Red Ball inflates, it's size growing larger and larger, the pressure inside increasing fifty fold, eventually, it's structural integrity becomes too weak to contain the massive amount of force within and explodes with the fury of a million Hydrogen bombs, immediately clearly a twenty mile wide swatch of destruction of the city.
There is no fire.
There is no mushroom cloud.
There is no fury.
What remains is a Mile deep crater, a skeletal reminder of the city that had once been so filled with life. The Demon smiles, opens a portal back to hell and departs for an unknown location.
[[Thank you for playing!]] The Red Ball bounces into the parents bedroom where they are sleeping.
[[Roll up the wall.]]
[[Kill everything.]]The Red Ball bounces into the bathroom.
[[Bounce into the sink.]]
[[Bounce into the toilet.]]
[[Bounce into the bathtub.]]
[[Kill everything.]] The Red Ball bounces into the living room where the parents are watching TV.
They take notice of the ball and return it to the childs room.
[[Bounce back into the living room.]]
[[Kill everything.]] the Red Ball bounces softly against the closet door. Causing the Child to call out to their parents to check for monsters.
[[Wait till the closet door opens.]]
[[Lound bounce against the closet door.]]
[[Break everything in the closet.]] The Red Ball bounces against the closet door harshly, making small cracks against the solid oak door. The Child is now screaming for their parents, who come rushing in to see what the child wants.
[[Wait till the closet door opens.]]
[[Break everything in the closet.]]
The Red Ball smashes everything in the closet, breaking toys, bending hangers, smashing against the closet door, smashing holes inthe closet walls.
The Childs constant screaming brings the parents crashing into the room, ripping the remains of the closet door open.
[[Smash through the parents chests.]]
(either: "[[Stop bouncing and the wait for the Mother to pick up the ball.]]", "[[Stop bouncing and the wait for the Father to pick up the ball.]]")The child's parents come in to play catch with the ball.
One throws to the other and back again.
[[Stop in midair.]]
[[Let them continue.]]
[[Kill everything.]] (either: "The Father" , "The Mother" , "The child"), (either: "before", "during" , "after" , "while" , "planned to", "prevented" , "wanted to" , "couldn't help but") (either: "wanting to play a prank" , "huffing paint" , "tripping balls" , "a rage filled afternoon of sex and abuse" , "the mailman" , "the police recorded" , "streaming on twitch" , "screaming racist rants" , "worshipping a avacado named Steve" , "fist fucking the local pedophile in the throat with a fist wrapped in barbed wire" , "calling Ms. Cleo", "shitting through the neighbors mail slot on their front door") on the wall, had (either: "coated" , "painted" , "slathered" , "sprayed" , "slammed" , "dry humped" , "ejaculated") (either: "mustard" , "raw steak" , "the lastest issue of grandmothers weekly", "twin lesbian cheerleaders" , "twenty pounds of pounds of dryer sheets" , "the neighbors used wig collection") (either: "on to" , "in to" , "around", "on top of" , "underneath") (either: "a jar" , "a bowl", "a cup" , "the fireplace" , "a spoon" , "a fork" , "a knife" , "some onions" , "a half eaten apple" , "the corpse of the mayor") , wanting to play a prank on the (either: "the Father" , "the Mother" , "the child"), (either: "told them they were adopted." , "filmed a dark snuff film." , "set the house on fire." , "created a portal filled with rapey tentacles" , "fired Donald Trump into a pile of broken glass.")
[[Stop against the wall.]]
[[Kill everything.]]
[[Reveal the demon.]] The parents and the child immediately flip out.
The father grabs a loaded 24 gauge, double barrel shotgun and aims it at the red ball.
He screams, pulling the trigger, exploding the Red Ball, but killing the child in the process.
The police are called, there being a reported domestic disturbance, finding the parents still in shock, the father pointing pointing the shotgun barrel in his mouth, crying, and the mother begging him not to pull the trigger. the child is scattered all around the room.
Immediately, the police open fire, killing the father and blinding the mother in one eye.
She is then sent to the hospital. Afterwards, she is sent to an instituion and put on suicide watch, court mandated to write in a Red Journal every day to work through her grief.
One day, 12 years later, the Demon possesses the Red Journal.

[[Thank you for playing!]] (either: "The Father and child toss the Red Ball back and forth happilly, with the Mother entering the room to watch them with a smile on her face before exiting." , "As the two are playing, the mother surprises the child with a birthday cake and a puppy." , "The Mother joins in on the fun, passing the ball from the father to the son repeatedly for some time. Afterwards, they leave the house to visit the childs grandmother." , "While passing the ball, the father breaks the window, letting in a cold winter storm which gives everyone in the house hypothermia. They die shivering." , "While all three are playing, home invaders burst into the room, the father, being trained in the Military, quickly disarms the invaders and snaps their heads clean off. They resume playing while the home invaders last moments are spent with the Demon whispering horrifying truths into their souls ears." , "The Demon becomes the families unwitting protector for three years, the Mother being a Satanist and selling her childs first unborns soul in exchange for the protection.")
The Demon, with access to see multiple timelines, see this is the lightest timeline, where nothing goes awful, does not interfere yet. this is the happiest this family will ever be, the choice to continue letting them be happy is in the demons hands, but the urge to move ever forward is a constant, and repeated viewings, though leading to different comes, eventually must be forced to go on.
Happiness is fleeting.
[[Let them continue.]]
[[Stop in midair.]]
[[Stop against the wall.]] The parents return the ball to the childs room.
"Very funny kiddo."
[[Roll into the living room and bounce on to the table, rotating slowly.]]
[[Kill everything.]]The parents are scared.
[[Bounce softly on the table.]]
[[Kill everything.]]The parents are increasingly concerned, calling out to their child.
[[Smash the TV.]]
[[Kill everything.]]The Red Ball bounces off the table top and the Tv screen repeatedly, each time, cracking the screen just a bit more.
[[Bounce harder.]]
[[Kill everything.]]The Red Ball bounces faster and fiercer, breaking both the table and the TV.
The parents and screaming.
[[Kill the parents.]]
[[Kill everything.]]the Red Ball smashes between the parents skulls, snapping their necks by whiplash.
the child comes out of their room.
[[Turn to the child.]]
[[Kill everything.]]The red ball turns to the child, the child in turn stops breathing, their eyes turn a hazel red, and the demon approves. The deed is done, the soul is crushed, the innocence is lost, and the demon has a new tory. The red ball becomes less a vessel than it is now a tool of the child, passing its hellish influence to another person, so that they in turn may be enticed to sell their souls to the demon in turn.
The process repeats forevermore, for another ten years before enough people in the right places begin concocting a devcice to bring the full form of the demon through, so that he might raze the cities of the world to burning, white hot, ashen shadows of themselves.
However, there were three who resisted the demon, and now actively seek to end of the life of the man who had been the First Child of the Red Ball.

[[Thank you for playing!]] The parents are still sleeping as the Red Ball rolls up the wall, occasionally knocking a picture to the floor.
[[Roll across the ceiling.]]
[[Kill everything.]]The Red Ball rolls across the ceiling, the child climbs into the bed and snuggles between the parents.
[[snap the parents neck.]]
[[Wait till the child falls asleep.]]
[[Kill everything.]]
The Red Ball rockets against the wall, rockets off the wall and through both parents necks in one go, snapping both their necks in one go.
The Red Ball comes to a stop by the corner of the mothers nightstand.
The child climbs into the bed and snuggles against their dead father.
[[roll up onto the bed.]]
[[Wait.]]
[[Kill everything.]]The child falls asleep, pressing up against the mother. bits and pieces of the popcorn ceiling fallonto the bed.
[[Bounce on the ceiling softly.]]
[[Bounce on the ceiling loudly.]]
[[Kill everything.]] The Red Ball bounces up on the cieling softly, reaching the sleeping family slowly.
[[snap the parents neck.]]
[[Kill everything.]]
[[Bounce on the ceiling loudly.]] the Red Ball bounces fiercly on the cieling, waking the family up from their nap in a blind panic.
[[snap the parents neck.]]
[[Kill the child.]]
[[Kill everything.]]
[[Stop in midair.]] The Red Ball rolls onto the bed just as the child sits up.
[[Turn to the child.]]
[[Kill everything.]] The Child wakes up from the nap, climbs off the bed, and goes into the kitchen to grab a snack to eat.
[[follow the child.]]
[[Kill everything.]] The Child wanders into the kitchen, opening the fridge. The Deoman see many potential things which to possess and grow in strength.
[[Kill the child.]]
[[Bounce into the kitchen.]]
[[Kill everything.]] the Red Ball stops bouncing as the closet door opens, the parents unsuspecting. The Child continues crying for a while before stopping.
[[Kill everything.]]
[[Smash through the parents chests.]] The red ball zips through the fathers chest, bursting out the back, spraying the room, the bed, child, and mother in blood and gore before exploding out of the back of the mother, still carrying the neck and ribs of the father with t he force of the kill, stopping midair above the screaming child.
[[hover in the air.]]
[[Bounce into the kitchen.]]
[[Kill the child.]]
[[Reveal the demon.]]The Mother picks up the ball and brings it to the bed, the screaming child backing away to the far side of the bed.
[[Kill the Mother.]]
[[Kill everything.]]
[[Kill the child.]]
[[Kill the father.]]

[[Kill the father.]]
[[Kill everything.]]The Red Ball bounces into the sink.
shortly after, the Father comes into shave.
To be continued in Red Ball 2: Squeaky Shavings
[[Thank you for playing!]] The Red Ball bounces into the toilet, bobbing helplessly in the water, only able to softly bounce from one edge of the bowl to the other. That Father bursts into the bath, having eating a bad bowl of chili from the Mexican place the family went to that night.
The Red Ball is then shit upon, in vast quantities for ten minutes until the toilet is flushed, sending the Red Ball and consequently, the Demon into the sewer system. the Red Ball is pushed deeper and deeper into the ever increasing complex network of pipes, shit rivers, and sludge oceans until it is finally shot out of a large pipe that spews the sewer contents into a water treatment plant run by the local Scientology chapter.
Mistaking the Red Ball for being infested by Thetans due to the high readings they recieve from the nipple cups they regularly apply with super glue, ripping them off with great force, and determining by the volume of pain how many Thetans are infesting a person, the Red Ball is handed to Tom Cruise.

[[Thank you for playing!]] The Red Ball bounces into the bathtub.
shortly after, the child takes a bath.
[[Bob uselessly from side to side.]]
[[Kill everything.]]The Demon reveals itself it to the child, A smaller form, but just as deadly.
It calms the child down, and sits with it at the table.
The child asks many questions.
The Demon gives many answers.
The child and Demon talk many hours into the night and the next morning.
when the child wishes to sleep the demon refuses, instead, cursing the child to never eat, never sleep, never clean themselves, and never use any bathroom.
The child wanders the streets for many days, only able to drink fluids, until one day, it collapses in the streets on a hot, august Summers day, and passes away from starvation, a build up of filth, and exhaustion.
[[Thank you for playing!]] The red ball hovers in the air, the child continues screaming. The Red Ball bounces violently around the room, smashing through walls, dressers, mirrors, doors, breaking every single thing in the house.
[[Kill the child.]]
[[Reveal the demon.]] The Red Ball bounces into the kitchen. There is a banana, orange, apple, loaf of bread, and a large cupboard filled with razor sharp knives.
[[Possess the banana.]]
[[Possess the orange.]]
[[Possess the apple.]]
[[Possess the razor sharp knives.]]
[[Posses the loaf of bread.]]The Demon reveals itself.
It is far larger than the house, with many arms, many heads, many mouths, and many eyes.
Its horns are as star fire.
Its voice as loud as a nuclear explosion.
Its rage complete.
with one mountain sized foot, it crushes the house the hcild and parents are in, and splits open the earths crust, releasing a tsunami of molten rock, lava, magma, and turning the surrounding countryside in to a molten mass grave of fire and destruction.
And in the years since, it has become Death, the Destroyer unto mankind.
[[Smite the Demon.]]The Ball slams into the Fathers head, taking it clean off.
[[Reveal the demon.]] The Ball rips through the mothers chest, crushing her heart.
[[Reveal the demon.]] The Demon possesses the Banana, a happiness fills its black heart.

The Child eats the orange.
[[Possess the Child.]]
(either: "[[kill the child.]]", [[Kill the child.]]")The Demon possesses the apple.
The Child plants the apple in the backyard.
[[Grow into an apple tree.]]
[[Possess the Child.]]
(either: "[[kill the child.]]", [[Kill the child.]]")The Demon lovingly possesses the sixty knives.
The Child, clearly traumatized by the nights events, open the cupboard filled with razor sharp knives, and stares at them.
[[Possess the Child.]]
(either: "[[kill the child.]]", [[Kill the child.]]")The Demon is stoned, and possesses a loaf of bread.
The Child stares at the loaf of bread, but simply shuts the fridge door and leaves the house, wandering the streets.
[[Flop out of the fridge.]]
[[Possess the Child.]]
(either: "[[kill the child.]]", [[Kill the child.]]")The Demon possess the child, swallowing the mind whole, digesting their memories, ending their joys, extending their sorrows, twisting what could've been a wonderful human being into a callous psychopath with no regard for the sanctity of human life.
the Child of the Red Ball grows into a nightmarish legend, tales of the gruesome ways they skinned their victims, pulled out peoples eyes and pointed them at each other for hours on end, watching as the person bleeding out in front of them slowly went insane and only laughed as their last moments were spenting screaming in agony as the last of their blood left their bodies.
Twenty years later, a bounty is set on the head of the Demon Child, now grown into a blood thirsty cult leader of a small fleet of cruise ships.

[[Thank you for playing!]] The demon snaps its fingers, snapping the childs neck.
The demon returns to hell, and falls asleep a pile of broken, ashen bones and the screams of the damned.
[[Thank you for playing!]] The apple, which contains the soul and essence of the Demon, contained within itself, eight apple seeds. These seeds, along with the apple, sprouted roots, twisting together to sprout a malformed and darkness spewing fruit tree.
The fruit tree was twenty feet tall and the trunk was five feet think, the branches splintered and twisted, held together by some unknown force. The apples born of the twisted fruit tree were many.
their coloration and shape were unearthly, with eyes of flesh and blood, colored black with a pupil of the brightest white and red.
The child picks up the apple, stares at it, and the apple blinks.
to be continued in Red Ball 2: Dark Fruit.
[[Thank you for playing!]] The childs father was a priest before he was fired for preaching an unfamiliar faith.
The Demon looks upon the man of the cloth with a laughable disdian, but instantly regrets it as with one swipe several pillars of pure light rain down upon the demon, cause it great amounts of pain as flesh and muscle are torn from bone and organ.
At long last, the pillars of light merge into one and slice the demon into seven parts, which fall to the floor and turn to ash upon impact.
[[Thank you for playing!]] The house is silent.
The blood spatters long since coagulated.
the corpses of the parents turned into bones stained red from the ages past.
The Demon Bread, still in a plastic wrapping, which was wrapped in another plastic bag, shuffled around the fridge. Knocking over long spoiled milk, crushing rotted oranges, shifting its weight back and forth, rattling around with great force till it burst from the rusted shut fridge, falling to the floor.
The Demon Bread was covered in all assortment of mold spores, bacterial infestation, spiders eggs, and pockets of darkness that were seemingly made from the very heart of the hatred filled void of hell itself.
The Demon bread flopped towards the door, its packaging tears away, and finally, the wrapping which had contained the darkness of isolation and insanity for fifty years, was set loose.
Mold spores, exposed to air, rapidly grew into short stubby legs.
Bacterial straines with plenty of time to evolve, grew outwards and in a great number, forming arms with small pincers upon them.
The pits of darkness from the very void itself squeezed and relaxed, as if acting like eyes to the soul to the Demon that had been trapped within the cooked loaf of dough for so very long.
With its small, but powerful arms, it ripped the door from the hinges, and witnessed the greatness of the suburban neighborhood around it.
Everything was ripe for the slaughter.
