It’s so hot and humid here, you can only go bike riding in the morning. At least I’ve traced him to one of those two people ahead. Have to be cautious, though. If I spray the wrong one, the Jinn will get me before I can reload.
Have to wait until he makes his move, which should be soon. The demon can never quell his thirst for murder for more than a few weeks. He slaughtered my brother ten years ago, and I’ve spent every day since then learning about them and tracking this spirit halfway around the world.
Last month it was Melbourne, and now Port St. Lucie.
They’re turning into that gate to the left. It’s opening.
Ducked in just as the gates closed. That’s him now. He’s pulling out a garrote. I’ve got my gun right here.
“Hey, Jinn.” He spins as I pull the trigger and spray him. What a stupid weakness, but it’s working. The possessed body is collapsing and the Jinn is oozing out his orifices. Really disgusting. The other person’s bending over him.
“Glenn. What happened?” She’s looking up at me. “What did you do? He’s soaked in pee. Are you nuts?”
I wrote this for the Sunday Photo Fiction challenge. The idea is to use the image above as a prompt for crafting a piece of flash fiction no more than 200 words long. My word count is 199.
This is a continuation of yesterday’s flash fiction tale The Long Wait for Retribution, which was about demonic possession and murder. I decided to let my demon hunter catch up with his target and eliminate him.
According to Exorcism in Islam, you can harm or kill a Jinn by urinating on it or throwing hot water on it. So the weapon of choice, under the circumstances, is to load a super soaker with urine. Yucky, but it works.

Love your imagination and stories, James.

Thanks, Rosemary. It’s scary that it’s even loosely based on Islam’s understanding of exorcism.

Yuck! Being squirted with pee? 😀

Whatever the reason or belief for the urine as a weapon – it’s gross! 🙂

True, but I couldn’t figure out how my character would be able to carry around boiling water and keep it hot, especially while riding a bicycle.

A little reminiscent of Stranger Things. And then there’s a twist. I don’t know, wasn’t paying attention to how old anyone was. But that’s how I was reading.

That’s a TV show, isn’t it?

Yes, on a cable channel. I remember not which.

I’ve heard good things about it, but I don’t have cable, and in any event, don’t watch much TV.

It was the weirdest thing. I don’t like scary or horror movies/shows… at all [and I hardly watch any series either]. But when I started checking out what this was (because, like you, I’d heard about it), I just kept watching, sitting in the dark and alone — curious but not afraid. I actually am watching another series now (but have to wait until August for the second season). That one is The Ozarks — Netflix. Oh, that’s for the other show as well.

I’ve heard Netflix has some pretty good shows, but being cheap, I don’t have that either. 😉

I was trying to remember how Sam and Dean Winchester killed their JInns (Supernatural, which you probably don’t know about since you don’t watch much TV). But I can see them peeing on it, if it worked. Clever and imaginative James.

Thanks, Susan. Yes, I’ve heard of the show, but I never watched it. Back in the day, I did watch a number of CW TV shows, so I saw the adverts.
