Head held low he cleans out the office trash, but while tossing it out, he comes across a strange idol that shows him visions when he touches it. Dan takes the idol home, where supernatural events surrounding the object make him investigate it further. A horrifying horned demon appears before Dan, terrifying him, but the creature speaks to him, and he learns that is an ancient Babylonian blood god called Zabuthu, who begins promising him dark power to help him sell more internet. Dan decides to take Zabuthu to work with him to see if his claims are true and begins his usual routine of calling the elderly when it inevitably begins to fall apart Zabuthu uses dark magic to subjugate an old man into buying a much more premium package than he needs too. After getting what he wants Dan hangs up and goes on a spree of sales using his horrific gifts to sell terabytes of internet. While on his unholy roll, his father mentions that his first client is now in a coma. Dan connects the dots, realizing that his new sales strategy might have dire effects on his victims. While Dan contemplates the ramifications of what he's done, Terry pays him a visit and Zabuthu convinces Dan to let him melt Terry's brain. Dan, his new powers taking a toll on him, then picks up his phone and continues calling people, who are now sacrifices to his dark corporate ascension. Written by Jacob Mugwe See less
