Choose how the story begins

I've been a priest for a whole year now. I preach in the same church that I grew up attending with my parents and all my siblings: St. Mary's. It's an old, slightly creaky yet honestly still breathtaking church. I think I'm pretty good at what I do, if I dare say so myself. When I'm not writing, preparing and giving sermons or services, I'm usually cleaning or repairing things around the church. I'm really happy with what I do; it's my dream job, after all. And, yet, I'm still not completely happy. God has cursed me with something I don't understand or really want to understand: I'm not exactly attracted to girls. Nope. Well, I'm attracted to girls, but I'm also attracted to the opposite of a girl, too. I'm bisexual., specifically towards demon guys. I just think they're hot. And they are!

It shouldn't happen, should it? A priest who's bi for demons, their mortal enemies. It's preposterous! And yet, it's me. Obviously, I hide my..... infatuation with demons from my family and indeed from the whole congregation. I'd be stupid not to. Right?

It's late on a Sunday night. I've done my sermon for the day and I've been cleaning the church ever since. When the odd noises started, I dismissed them as the church settling for the night. But, after half an hour of ignoring the nagging feeling in my gut, I see, or at least I think I see a shadow moving. Then I think I hear footsteps. That's it! I put my sweeping brush down, push my black hair away from my yellow eyes and seize a nearby cross. It's got to be a demon! But, here, in St. Mary's Church? And this late? It just has to be! Who knows, it could be hot?

In my free and admittedly shaky hand, I pick up a bible and, stepping determinedly into the centre of the aisle between the rows of wooden pews, say in a clear voice, my English accent echoing slightly off the walls.

"Demon! Where are you? Stop hiding like a coward and come out here! I will vanquish you under the name of the Lord!"

I might seem composed, but inside I'm losing my mind! There could be a demon in here! In my church! I've never had to face a demon before, I'm pretty worried. But....This is....amazing! I only hope I can keep myself together if it is actually a demon...
