Hi,
This week’s (and the next three post) will be short and
rushed. Sorry, but it’s NaNoWrMo and my mind is deadest on meeting the 50,000
word challenge. (Doubt it’ll be much of a problem. Have a wonderful story
going. Still, never know where a character might take you or when he/she may
stall.) Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this week’s word phrase scene.
Remember let your imagination soar when you read.

I couldn’t believe it. Across the street, sitting at the one
spot I have no access to, was the one.
Boy was she. Long, curly red hair, which clung to her angular cheeks, fighting
against the wind rushing around the small island like town that Roger recently
began calling home. Just another reason he couldn’t believe the one sat less that a football field
away from him.
What was he suppose to do? Ignore her until his job was done
with? There’d be no doing that. The lurking seventh realm demon, who believed
he owned the world simply because his father was the great and mighty Lucifer,
wouldn’t allow such. Yet, Roger had a job to do and if he failed at it then his
father would ensure he never set another foot in the earth realm again.
“Son?”
Roger bit back the sigh at the scratchy, deep voice that
belonged to the non-visible version of his father.
“Father, my time isn’t up.”
“No, it’s not.”
Roger could imagine his father staring at his wrist,
debating whether or not to point out just how little time his son had left.
“Just thought I might need to pay you a visit and remind you
that if your job isn’t completed by sundown tonight you will be pulled back to
your realm to lead that group of people.”
Roger didn’t need that reminder. Him and his six other
brothers had all struck a deal with their father. So far, none had managed to
complete their earthly task and Roger wouldn’t be the next one to fail. There
was no way he wanted to spend the next two millenniums leading the worst demons
buried away in a dark, dingy, musky realm. Would’ve been different if his
father had been willing to allow all eight of his children to rule the earth
realm. Nope, his father had viewed it as the weakest realm; therefore it
belonged to his only daughter.
“Might as well admit defeat and come take your position of
power.”
“Not lost yet.” Roger tugged his shirt down and then marched
toward the boarded up gas station that sat beside the busy restaurant that
safely tucked his one away. Soon as
he eliminated Big Bad Rex Titan Mountain he would have access to the entire
earth realm, just like his sister did. Then he could approach his one. Until that task was done, meeting
the woman he was to ravish for the rest of his life was simply in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
A fact he would soon rectify.
