[WP] with the dull clank of rusted armor, you crawl from your crypt to meet your new master. Only to sigh and pinch the nonexistent bridge of your nose as you see a wide eyed young girl holding a black book. Tears streak her face. "I need you to help me find my daddy" she sniffles. You groan. | "No.”
My own voice startles me, a whisper devoid of bass and timbre.
“Excuse me?”
“I said no.”
Her brows furrow, “It may have sounded like a request, but it wasn’t. You will help me find my father. Now.”
A familiar feeling wells up within me. Rage. And with it foreign ones. A wanton desire to destroy. A longing de... | It was dark, pitch black. Where am I? Where was I last? I died. Am I still dead? A light so dim, yet so blindingly bright to me appeared in a vertical line. The line grew wider and wider, all until the stone slab above my coffin was completely removed. I removed it, I lifted it, without even willing it. And my body con... | |
[WP] Contrary to popular belief, you, Satan, are really just an overworked and underappreciated divine prosecutor with a bad rep among mortals. Every so often, however, you have cases that remind you why you stuck to the job over the millenia in the first place. | “How is it, Boss?”
Satan grimaced expressively, tight-lipped and squinting with disgust. The demon took a nervous step backwards, something goat hooves were not designed to do. The crash sent a cloud of dust into the air.

“Yes sir. I was a good Christian. Do I get to go to heaven?”

Quickly, as soon as my hand lifts from the button, I'm jolted back into conciousness. The bus that hit me is to my direct left, and passers-by surround me, telling me not to move since the ambulance is coming.
