The Expert

The radio station occupied the third floor of an old, brick building. At one time it was a tannery and the acrid chemicals from the basement still pervaded the stairwells on hot, summer nights.

In the cramped studio a DJ well past his prime sat and sipped his coffee as a commercial played. Across from him was a middle-aged man in a turtleneck shirt and a goatee from the beatnik 50’s. The twenty-something engineer began his countdown with his fingers and pointed abruptly to the DJ as the commercial jingle rang out.

Welcome back to ‘The Experts.’ I’m your host Tommy Dawson and we're here with our guest, Nick Vilnius an expert on demonic possession. Nick, let me ask you something. How many cases of demonic possession have you studied?

The beatnik leaned forward with a pause and said, Gosh, I've lost track. They all tend to blur together after a while?

The DJ put a check mark on his list of questions and continued with his interview.

Have you ever witnessed an exorcism?

Quite a few, actually.

The DJ gestured with his hands rolling in the air to his less than loquacious guest and pressed on.

And did they work?

Well, that's the interesting part, Vilnius said with a faint smile. You see...how should I say this...? I'm now of the opinion that demonic possession...well...it doesn't exist.

The DJ threw his hands in the air and shot an eye-roll to the engineer. Wait, wait, wait? Are you telling me you're an expert on something that doesn't exist?

Vilnius folded his arms and smirked. Now that you mention it, yeah that does sound kind of strange. But I have to tell you, after studying so many cases it's become obvious to me that almost every instance of supposed demonic possession had an explanation, and as for the exorcists...well, it's all feeling like another business proposition to me.

The old DJ tossed his list of questions aside and pondered his empty coffee cup as he continued his interview. So no unsightly devils were involved?

Nick shook his head as he looked over at the list of unasked questions.

None that I've seen. In fact, most occurrences seemed to be caused by a medical, psychological, or a drug induced set of circumstances.

The DJ seemed to find new interest in his guest.

Why would someone take a drug to act like they were possessed?

I don't think that was their intent, Nick said. But drugs can affect people in different ways. And then there's always the 'attention' factor.

Which is...? The DJ asked through
