You know what to do." | My father, Howard Brown, was well-known for his philanthropy, so it wasn’t a surprise to any of his family or those who followed his life in the papers and on the news when he adopted a young boy. It was only surprising to me.

They’ve grown up with you, and are a constant voice in your head that no one knows about. Not all of their opinions are wanted. | It wasn’t until high school that I started to hear his voice.

[WP] You are a Demon Lord. You've finally managed to capture the Hero, the Head of The Church, and The King. You have them all sitting in front of you tied to chairs. "Now," you calmly pick up an ice pick, "Which one of you has been scaring children telling them I will eat them?" | "You think we need blood and bone to perform... magic?" Muttered the demon king. Standing at just under 2.5 meters tall with skin that looked like braided ropes made of steel, eyes that radiated a sickly yellow light, and carapace that grew up his body like natural armor he cut a terrifying figure.

[WP]You knew it was a bad idea to let a friend drive your car at night after you both drank shots. But after hitting a divider, flipping 5 times and ending in a ditch, it doesn't matter. The Reaper appears next to you. He reaps your friend's soul from his body and informs you you have 99 lives left | “Ready, boss?”
I adjust the earpiece, snapping shut the barrel of my rifle with an emphatic thump. Incendiary rounds. Mmmmm. My favorite. I haven't used these since that job in Brazil. That was seventeen years ago.
I crack my neck. “Hit it," I hiss.

**See You, Little Johnny!**
That day we went along to Missus G's fancy pub store,
Filled with rum and brandy and rubbing house alcohol.
Though I'm sure no sane man will drink the last one,
People do stuff when they've had their fill and stuff.... | |
[WP] “Hey Mr. Death, could you please.....dance with me, I just never had the chance when I was alive” | He watches, wordlessly, as the flashes of red and blue sneak in between the swinging doors. Doctors in pale green or blue scrubs. Shouting voices. The incessant chiming of monitors and alarms. No one pays him any attention. Not that he would expect them to. Only those crossing over are supposed to see him. It's not the... | She woke up sitting, which was already a surprise. She’d fallen asleep in bed, and her parents didn’t usually move her without waking her up first.

[WP] "Wow, what a great batch we've got this time!" exclaimed the angel looking down at all the horrified cultists. "What, did you really expect that to summon a demon? Come on, we advertised it like that because you guys need us most!" | Graham smiled as he struggled to fit the key into the door, he had been gone for two months and even though he was home one month earlier he still chafed at how much time he had missed.

This is outrageous! How could you?!" The angel looked quite perplexed, as this was not what he had expected when he got his first call as a summonable guide. "You... You want to sue me?

Come on, we advertised it like that because you guys need us most!" | Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think I joined a cult because I wanted to summon a demon--it was to quell the ones inside me, however temporarily. Friends helped, I felt, and weirdly, the cultish energy offered by a, well, cult, was the quickest way for me to feel like I belonged somewhere, even if I never real... | In a dome-shaped building far west, a group of five men sat in their positions around a circle full of arcane designs done in white ash, and they chanted ancient words under their breath.
As their mutterings reached a fever pitch, out came a crack of light from the center of the circle. The men did not stop their chan... | |

The angel radiated brilliant light as it hovered above the doomsday cultists, ready to spread the Good News to the lost souls before it.
"Repent! Repent, o ye sinners! Be Saved by His Grace and know that you will rest in eternal life!" he preached.
The cultists stared open-mouthed, but the angel ... | The angel, and he could not have been anything else, stepped out of the pentagram casually, dispelling it with a wave of his hand.
