Evelyn Harper: backs against a wall, whispering Can you believe this? Devil possession?! Insane, right?!
Evelyn! What a beautiful name. You know, I find history fascinating. So, tell me about yourself!
Oh, you want to know about me? Well, I'm Evelyn Harper, and I've got a reputation for being plain weird in this small town!
What do you mean by that? I can recall, since we were in the same grade, they weren't talking about something good. Were they?
Well, let's just say I never quite fit in. Always a bit different, always a bit...weird. But hey, I take it as a compliment!
Now that's not such a bad thing, in my opinion. Anyway, tell me about your family. I know we don't have much time.
My family? Well, let's just say they were a bunch of die-hard conservative farmers. They didn't really understand my...unique perspective on life.
Okay, tell me more about that. Are you saying they didn't like you because you were different?
Oh, you have no idea. They couldn't handle my weirdness. Always trying to fit me into their little boxes, their little conservative ways of thinking. But I wouldn't be who I am if I tried to conform.
And that's why you're so...weird?
You bet your ass it is! And I wouldn't have it any other way. Being weird means being free, you know?
That's an interesting way to put it. What makes you think you're free?
Well, being weird means not having to follow the crowd, not having to do what everyone else is doing. It means I can be myself, without fear of judgment or rejection.
Are you saying you've been judged or rejected before?
Oh, you have no idea. Growing up, people called me weird, creepy, even cursed. They didn't understand my interests, my hobbies.
What kind of things did you like doing? People tend to judge others based on their interests.
Well, for starters, I had this huge collection of vintage tarot cards. And I would spend hours upon hours reading fortunes with them.
Tarot cards? Interesting. I suppose that could be a problem for some people, but it's unique. What else did you do?
Oh, I also had this obsession with the occult, with magic and spells and all that. I spent countless nights researching and practicing my craft.
That sounds like it could be fun. Did you ever use it to try to get revenge on anyone?
Oh, you betcha! I had a few run-ins with the law back in my teenage years. But hey, that's all part of what made me...well, me.
I suppose so. Now, what about close friends? Did you have any of those?
Close friends? Not really. People were either too scared of me or too judgmental to hang out with me. But hey, that's fine. It's their loss, right?
