"How much can I get for this?" He frowned and squinted, interesting But I could tell, he pursed his lips: My soul's too tarnished now for Hell. "Nothing for the history?" certified? "No papers, we--" He raised one eyebrow up. He paused. "Not we, just I-- I meant just me." If you have others, then perhaps... "I'm all alone now." Satan laughed. They'll get hungry. I'll get them. I thought before I answered him: "They don't believe that you exist. I told them you were naught but myth- a rationale for all that is unworthy of intelligence." Then he disappeared and I woke up and fumbled for my cigs. I lit one up and realized that I've forgotten how to cry. I made some coffee, made it strong, as I mused about how long I could go without the need to close my eyes again and dream. |

sometimes "life" makes me want to take up smoking again~~~ p.s. crying comes too easy for me ( my father use to say there was never a shortage of water in our house)  M |

It is interesting. However, upon waking, it was merely a dream---or rather a nightmare. We are strange creatures that way, at times. I also like the soul too tarnished for Hell line, although probably for slightly different reasons. The word "tarnished" denotes (or at least implies) redeemability. |
