Okapeth, the Demon of Sorrow who Took the One Chip Challenge
Okapeth roamed the netherworld waiting for her next assignment when she decided teens living in our horrible topside world may be ripe for the picking. Advised to consult YouTube for easy targets, she zeroed in on a group of narcissistic boys obsessed with filming their sad antics. Okapeth revealed herself to the foursome and was shocked to find the boys were not frightened and seemed thrilled to “create content” with her. Undaunted, Okapeth thought she might entrap all four boys at once just by remaining among them and learning their weaknesses, but her love of snacks got the best of her when they offered her a black, foul-smelling chip. She wheezed. She coughed. She writhed in agony while the boys laughed – and then she died … again. That sent her directly back to hell, where the video was already being shared. Her ridicule became unending. So popular was Okapeth’s humiliation, the merchandising wing of hell made an Okapeth candy toy which makes the final noise that spilled from her mouth.
Check back here every day until Halloween for more unspeakable playthings!
