Bonded to the Devil's Right-hand Man

            Looking all over my body, I was thankfully able to tell that I was not badly injured. My legs and arms had a few scrapes and bruises, but I would be just fine. My car was another story. After rolling, it was beyond repair. The doors were smashed and too damaged to open. Attempting to keep calm and not panic, I took a moment to breathe easy before figuring a way out. The blood was starting to rush to my head as I hung helplessly upside down, my car flipped over with me intact. I needed to get out of this damn car.

I was certain he’d feast on human flesh or hearts freshly ripped from poor souls, but he sat down next to me and began pouring syrup on his homemade pancakes. We were playing house in the cottage by the sea, pretending that Hell wasn’t at our feet, threatening us as we salted our scrambled eggs. “Wait, so let me get this straight, some land belongs to the demons and some land belongs to the angels?” I asked Ash. “And then some land belongs to no one and is free for all to wonder.” He explained to me, but I still couldn’t understand. “Okay, but demons can’t go onto angel territory, or they…” “They burn internally until eventually they go up in flames and die.
