A Call from Satan
As a reward to yourself for a job well done, you've offered to take Lucifer out on your dime tonight.
Eris comes out of her new office, a smile on her face.
"Ladies! How's our work today? Good news or bad?" she asks.
Kali starts, "We've got a forest fire spreading across California, likely to wipe out the last remaining redwoods in the region. Collateral damage, I suppose. There's not enough water to put them out."
"Nice!" Eris exclaims.
"I've been working on an airborne pathogen..." Kumi chimes in. "....spread through contact with dogs....they'll never know what hit them."
"Promising.." Eris surmises.
"K, lucky for you, I've saved the best for last. Working on a resurgence of SIDS...Still working out the kinks though," you excitedly inform.
"Ok....maybe lay off the baby shit a tad, k Lilith? We still need to make sure we don't kill ALL the humans, just trying to fix their overpopulation problem."
"ugh fine" you turn around, sulks in your chair, and starts typing.
"Nice work team. Good to see we've been keeping up!"
You then receives a call from your communication device.
"Hey Luci..."
"We still on for tonight?" he asks.
"Yeah I'm gonna be home late tonight..."
"Aw really? You know when you're going to be out? I'm excited to celebrate with you tonight, if you know what I mean.."
"oh I know bb, I'll try to finish up quick here."
"Alright...I'll anxiously await making sweet Satanic love to you tonight then."
"Oh you devil you."
"I try. See you around 8?"
"Ok sounds good, love you to hell and back baby," you make a cute smoochy sound in the receiver and the call ends.
"Oh Eris, can we take off early tonight? The hubby and I got a date and I wanna make sure I look absolutely ghastly. Pretty please???" you plead playfully.
"I'll cut you you a deal." Eris decides. "We're almost down to our ideal human population, only a few thousand more casualties and we should be able to set things straight. If you can come up for something positively apocalyptic we can schedule for next week, you can go early. Everybody can go early. We've had good week."
"YES!" You exclaim. "Thank you thank you thank you!"
You walk past her and whisper in her ear as you pass.
"That boy is a keeper, girl. You seem so happy. It's really nice."
You excitedly finish up your work for the day and head out early.
