Demon: “Look!”
Angel: “What?”
Demon: “There’s a spider on the wall.”
Angel: “Where?”
Demon: “I’m looking at it now. Its tiny, brown, with all eight legs making an effort to get away.”
Me: “It’s trying to run from me and my intentions.”
Angel: “Remember: All life is sacred.”
Demon: “It wants to flee, but your will is stronger. And your will be done.”
Me: “One moment while I rid the world of one intruding creepy crawly…”
Angel: “No! Don’t kill it!”
Demon: “Say a prayer for the departed.”
Me: “Now with that little distraction exterminated, I can get back to writing.”
Angel: “Oh, so cruel.”
Demon: “No. So dead.”
