Interview With the Devil (short story) + (pic)

Just a quick one I had to get out of my system. Love it, hate it, or in between - drop a line.

Interview With the Devil

Lucifer was dressed in an evening suit and a pair of striped dinner pants. His suede shoes were immaculate and his thin auburn hair was combed back neatly, strand by strand. The lounging room smelled strongly of pomade and Ozzy was playing on the radio. When he saw Gabriel descending the curved stairs, he jumped up from the pool table and affably gestured at the two armchairs in the middle. Gabriel went for them in silence.

“Heard you were coming, Gabe.â€

Wow...an awesome story SwordSkill...and it seems really professional as well. I don't usually kick around the Writing boards, but this one caught my eye.

An interesting work. Make no mistake: the quality was excellant.

The treatment of Lucifer was quite interesting, and I enjoyed the fair number of references thrown in. Pretty near the beginning, though, I wanted Lucifer to shut up. It would be naive to assume his concepts of the heavenly host in general are unbiased, but they were still annoying.

Fantastic! I'm glad I've finally been able to read your writing. You are as excellent a writer as I had assumed you would be. ^____^

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Glad of that. I'm actually hoping that writing would become my profession someday. Thanks. ^^

Erm, not quite sure what woldly is, but I'm hoping that's not a bad thing for me. XD Thanks.

Thanks very much. ^^ Lol, yeah, I was trying to make him not too horns-and-pitchforky but I couldn't make him too likable either. :lol:

Wow, thanks. :jump: Eheh, I didn't know I was carrying around an impression or something. ^^;; Glad you liked it.


Just made a caricature of my main lead character (and just rediscovered how bad I am with collars)...here's the old snake himself:

At first when i saw the title I was all "O__O" But then I read, and it's such a good story! lucifer got quite annoying, I found it annoying the "Gabe" and "Mike" etc. Starstoryteller said right that you made him very wordly, resembling a human so much, or rather, some humans resemble him.

The more Gabriel got annoyed with him the more I did! If I was there I would have blown up in his face!! Take one of his cigarettes and put it in his nose... good thing I wasn't there. :lol:

Good job! ^-^
