You feel a fluttering of leathery wings brush quickly against your shoulder a putrid scent envelopes you and you gag upon it’s odor then in a silver sliver of moon the creature is revealed . That which you see, cannot be; you stop, your blood congealed. A Devil hovers in the corner fangs drawn at the ready you reach out for the bed legs suddenly unsteady A God fearing soul, you always thought an golden Angel would soon appear but instead, the Devil came to taunt you in your fear. |

For any God-fearing soul, to beseech Heaven in time of trouble to only have the Devil appear would be the greatest fear, and darkest moment, when their Faith was truly put to the test and found wanting. Oh, how I love unhappy endings. |
