There was a massive earthquake that measured red on the hellter scale. Everyone was mortified that even the damned souls forgot their agony for a second. They all shut up.
Lucifer: [Tail stops wiggling in extreme anger. Grits teeth] Who the fuck said that? [Each word came out with studied resolve to find all synonyms to the word 'rage'] I said, who the fuck said that?
Suddenly, there was a stir somewhere in the crowd that left one terrified demon isolated in the middle of a contemptuous bunch. He pee’d in his pants which was an even greater embarassment because, you see, he had pee’d fire.
A year later:
The Tourist’s Guide to Hell (Ch 16, Pg 92) – “…to this day no one knows exactly what happened to that demon. Prominent rumours are he was indefinitely banished to Switzerland to suffer the anguish of so much peace…”
Today:
7a.m the next day finds the Devil seated in an office, cross-legged, opposite a young unsmiling lady wearing specs. They were ill-fitted because one of her horns had an abnormal branch just under the left ear. She didn’t care, though. Just like she didn’t give a hoot about anything other than the man seated infront of her. Who was she to deserve such an astounding presence? She was only a shrink. They sat in silence as each waited for the other to say something. Anything. Even the screams of the burning souls could be heard five miles away through reinforced soundproof glass.
Lucifer: You know you have the oddest name around here?
Odd name: [No facial expression whatsoever] Oh yeah? No I don’t. Enlighten me.
Lucifer: Stpdstdmnsssb. No vowels. How do even pronounce that?
Stpdstdmnsssb: How did you just pronounce it?
Lucifer: I didn’t. You notice it was typed. Unless of course you’re so dumb to see that. Do you know that if someone inserted a few vowels and spaces in your name they would get the words ‘Stupidest demon’? And ‘Sick Silly Son of a Bitch’ to go with the extra consonants? Huh, and I thought I was fucked.
Stupid demon: [Still expressionless] I sense some anger here. Where do you figure it comes from?
Lucifer: “Where do…” I hate being rhetorical but are you stupid? First I come in here and the welcome question is “who are you?” Now this? Where do you figure I come from? Why do you figure I exist? Why do you figure the world is…it’s the essence of my existence you dumb fuck.
Dumb Fuck: I only asked about who you are to help you figure yourself out. It’s the reason you and I are here in the first place [No expression]
Lucifer: [Silent for a minute] It’s ‘me and you’ not ‘you and I’… And your fuckin’ face scares the hell out of me, you know that? No matter how much I try to annoy you, you sit there without a single frown on your face.
Scary Face: I don’t mean any disrespect, Sir, but it’s ‘you and I’.
Lucifer: [Sigh. Then softly] Do you know how old I am? Do you even know…
The door bursts open to let in a panicky demon.
Demon: Sorry to interrupt, Your Evilness, but we have a serious situation.
Lucifer: [Barks] Can’t you see I’m busy here?
Demon: I’m afraid it’s very important, Sir.
Lucifer: What! And it better be damn important.
Demon: [Timidly] Sir, the story ends here.

It appears that I returned and read. And even laughed.
It makes my last comment appear a mite foolish. Just a tad. Just a bit.

January 7, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Dude, every fibre of your body needs help!
You’re totally messed up. And that’s a compliment, in case u was wonderin’
I like the pee’d fire bit.
January 7, 2009 at 4:25 pm
My lil’ sister saw an ad for Hellboy and sighed, ‘What has this world come to?’ When I asked her what she was talking about she said that people were now making heroes come from hell. And I enjoyed both Hellboys so I felt guilty. A child could see that we were going off a cliff. Tut tut tut.
But, great writing. And Lucifer has a shrink? Dude!
January 7, 2009 at 4:26 pm
P.S. I just found my calling. I want to be a shrink. There must be big money in that.
January 7, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Carlo: I wonder how shrinks work. I mean you get paid for listening to people whine and whine then tell them exactly what they want to hear. It’s silly. But there’s free money. Lots of free money. So go girl.
“Carlo enjoyed Hellboy.” No matter how many times I repeat that to myself I always find it funny.
DK: Thanks for the compliment dude.
Emrys: [Takes off hat and makes a slight bend, as if a bow] Emrys?

Lulu: You remember that white, chapati-like thingi called ‘membe’ in primary school? It always went to the late comers.
Ashy: “Wolf in sheep’s skin.” Sound familiar?
Car: There are three missing episodes actually. Had to cut it short coz my source’s cover was compromised.
Working on a “Complete Guide to Heaven.”

Like in the movies where the stars are all arranged in one neat circle, and their sweaty fingers are playing on the triggers.
And then (plug up your ears, here – explosions on Dolby Surround Bass can be dangerous):
