Story Time!

He opened the doors and the smell of tobacco immediately filled his nostrils. Alex didn’t care for casinos but he loved money, and this was the only place where he could make the switch. Amidst the flashing lights and music emerged a hooded figure with a glowing red cigar.

"Glad you could make it", he said. Smiling at him knowing he had caught another one in his web of evil. Extending his hand for a shake. He said "You can call me, Lucifer as I think The Devil is a little harsh, also bad for business...

He shook Lucifer's hand, ready to do anything to save his daughter. "Now, what do you want in exchange for saving her?" he asked. Lucifer grinned. "Impatient, are we? Fine. If you want me to save your daughter, you will need to read a banned book to a child." "That's all?" "Yep."

“That’s easy: Harriet the Spy. Every kid needs to know that book.” “Excellent choice!”, said the Lord of Brimstone. “Right this way, your audience awaits!” He gestures to a door that said “Story Time” in glittering capital letters.

I walked through, the glitter falling into my hair and a sweet smell floating in the air. I smiled knowing. . . This is the place where I belong. The door shut behind me just as a soft sun began to rise. Butterflies and bees flew around. This is no normal Story Time room.
