Signs and More Signs (Blogophilia 36.17)

Devil's Quill Headquarters, Arlington VA  Riiiinggg.  Rinnnggg Good Day. Thank you for calling Devils Quill Consulting. The premier source for all things sinful. I'm Betty Bowers. How may I help you? Oh, Mr. Draper. I haven't heard from you in a while. How are things in the depths?  Hot and bothered? Isn't that always true? But it's better than being an ash. So, what's up? Ms. Jezebel is in conference right now. May I take a message? You need some data for a new project called "Live for today". Her plate is pretty full at the moment with this Epstein deal Mr. Nixon came up with. Oh, this is related? OK. Let me see if she can take you... ...Mr. Draper, she can't break free right now, but she did send the database extract this morning under the name "When Eagles Fly".  You got it? Good. Anything else? Have I heard from Sandy Skinner from Wrath? The last I heard, Mr. Beezelbub has him working a beta script test involving the Esau kids, Epic ...

The Weekly Status Meeting (Blogophilia 1.13)

In the 13th Floor executive conference room in Arlington VA, Richard Nixon and the top operations directors of Devil’s Quill Communications are having their weekly status meeting. It’s been a busy week. Nixon: Hello, Everybody. We got a bunch of stuff to cover today, so settle down. Let’s start with Sandy Wrath. How are the various conflicts going? Wrath: Not bad, really. We have a baker's dozen things going. We’ve been working on that crazy Kim guy hoping he’ll light up that part of the world. He tries, but people keep ignoring him. We did manage to trip off a good battle with the Cow Folks this week. It had been a while since we got that pot boiling. Simple misunderstandings are always the best method in my experience. Marty, were you able to use any of their tramplings? Marty Mammon: A few. The problem with that group is they are mostly Esau’s Children and they can’t agree on anything, including demonic authority. Wrath: “It’s why they can never get their act together to take ...

Sloth (Blogophilia 3.11)

"Okay, everyone. Let's get settled again." Marty takes a sip from his cup. "I have to give you folks credit on your stamina through all this. Usually at this point, everyone is kvetching like an Israelite in the desert." A gleam comes across his eye. "Of course, I'm a Demon and my lips are sealed . And that gets us to the next presentation. A slightly disheveled man in a battered hat holding a jack o'lantern enters and stretches. "Yaaawwwnnn" He pulls out a melted clock , brushes the horse manure off it and looks intently at the dripping face . "Oh, crap. Am I late again? Marty gives him the stink eye. "Yes, Rip, you are." The old man makes an obscene gesture. "You said I had twenty years to rest and I took it." With a wave, a small dragon replaces the pumpkin. The old man tosses it toward the back of the room. There is a thud and scream. No one turns around to see the result. The smell is en...

Holly (Blogophilia 21.9)

Blue moon  You saw me standing alone  Without a dream in my heart  Without a love of my own         Billie Holiday’s dulcet voice drifted in the dark car like a misty Minnesota Morning. Flashes of light illuminating the rain covered Buckhead streets. Almost like a rock in his shoe, an unease came over Bart. A storm was coming. He had rode them out before, but this one was different from Amy, somehow. At the next light, he gently brushed the bangs of her wig. With a small purr, the head fell toward the touch and her eyes fluttered open.    “Amy, have you come for me?”   As if he had touched a live wire, he pulled his hand away.    “What did you say?”   Slowly, Holly awoke. Looking at the shocked face, she began to laugh.   “You look like you saw dead people.” Putting a hand on his leg. “It’s O.K, I was dreaming. An angel with beautiful black hair was next to m...

Angel Protection Service

In a top floor office in a faceless suburban office park… Rrrrinnggg “It’s a beautiful day here at Angel Protection.   My name is Michael, how may we be of service?   Your husband is doing what?   Looking at another woman?   Let me pull up the records. Yes, I see that.   It appears to be his Assistant.   She is a nice girl, but a little naïve.     Reviewing, it does not appear anything has transpired yet. Yes, we have several services that may work.   What’s that?   Ma’am , I think a lit taper up the butt to be a bit harsh.   Yes, Ma’am, We understand jealousy here, but we always try to provide the best service for all parties involved.   Looking on the map, it appears you are in winter there?   We have our patented “Angel in the Snow” that will strand his car half way to her house.   Well, Ma’am, his confession would be up to him.   Would you like me to order that for you?   Done.   Thank ...
