Credited to user A Thousand Rows on Reddit No Sleep. With guest narration by Daniel Hewitt. Let me start off by saying, I'm not particularly religious. If you ask me if I believe in God, I'd probably just shrug, grown out a few words about being on the fence about it, and continue with my day.

Of course, that was before last night. My friends are the kind of people who like wild nights. Crazy parties, snort a bit of coke, take a bit of E in the bathroom, maybe hook up with someone and leave a text on my phone at 10 past who the fuck knows telling me they don't need that ride I'm offering after all. Not to say I don't like a drink.

I do. It's just clubs aren't my style. Lying low in a pub somewhere. Drink in hand, listening to the TV drone on to whatever channel some scruffy guy in the back barked out for. I guess that's my idea of fun. So when my friends tell me they want to go out for a night in the town, I say sure. I hang out for the first club, buy a non-alcoholic beer in case my car's requested and try to pretend that I'm having fun. By the time I see them grinding on girls, on guys, when they straight conversation with someone who definitely might be a dealer,

well, I decide my services are no longer needed. We aren't too far out. The night tubes on Beck and call and I can always find my car the next day. That's when I wander out of the club. Look for something a little more rustic. Not that that's too hard to find. Not at all. I found myself in a bit of a state inside a bar called the ragged feather.

I wasn't a fan of the name all that much. But the drinks were cheap, and the largest demographic seemed to be middle-aged men watching reruns on football. I tried to pretend I hadn't just staggered out of a club with my ears ringing. I slicked my hair back, slipped my phone into my hand and wandered over the bar. I took a double shot of whiskey and drank it in one hit. Just because I wasn't at the club didn't mean I couldn't have a good time. I hung at the bar for a while on my own,

scrolled through my phone pretending I was doing something far more impressive than I really was. I kept an ear out for the guys on the sofa. They get vocal every now and then. I think football was just running highlights, but they were incredibly dedicated to their teams. I got another whiskey and blended into the background. Of course, stragglers from clubs are commonplace. It wasn't long until some scantily dressed woman staggered in,

laughing, chuckling, pointing for where they wanted to sit. I saw a guy walk in with his friend slung over his shoulder, catatonic, most likely. He threw his friend into one of the leather sofas ingrained with beer and smokes and demanded two pints of water and all the peanuts the bar had in stock. The bartender seemed bitterly amused. Some of the girls were taking selfies, Snapchatting their friends who were still at the club. They were ordering shots, gearing themselves up for the next leg of their night. A couple blokees wandered in with curries and takeout trays.

This had someone eat a big mac on the outside sea. seating through the window. This was a night for the young and inebriated. My mind was just dulled enough by the whiskey to enjoy the characters I could watch peaceably without interacting with. That is, until someone slipped into the seat next to me. Do I look like a girl with daddy issues? She was of average height, although that wasn't apparent immediately due to the fact that she was

leaning her arms heavily against the bar. She was slim. was short and astoundingly bright red hair. It framed her round face. A phrase that was marred with smudged eye shadow, smudged lipstick. Al, it looked like her makeup was in the process of melting right from her face. There was a chip knotted into a curl in her hair just by her forehead. The drunk side of me was actually tempted to pick it out.

The girl was clearly drunk And as I looked around the bar I couldn't quite place where she'd come from She didn't belong to the crowd of selfie takers She wasn't with the catatonic eyes I hoped for her safety that she wasn't with the middle-aged men I tried to look out the window See if maybe a group was missing one inebriated bright-haired girl

But I couldn't The window had bogged up too much heat inside, not enough outside. Are you okay? I asked her. She pointed her finger at me. Answer my question. She slurred.

I wasn't sure what to say. I settled on staring at her awkwardly, trying to answer her with the bemused expression on my face. The girl's lip curled into a drunken smile. She snorted, placing a handle for her mom. mouth to smother her laughter. It only really aided in the deconstruction of her lipstick. I do, you know. She said, pushing herself up a little against the bar. Have daddy issues? I mean, in case it wasn't obvious. She gestured to herself. To the must clothing that must look quite spectacular when she left home that evening. To the stains that

looked a lot like old food. The sticky residue on her neck and shoulders that was quite obviously a thrown drink. What happened? I asked her. Her hair curled around her neck, I realized. It was sticky with the same substance. She was a wreck. I'd gotten a couple of fights. No big deal. She said shrugging. Didn't start any, of course. No, I don't do that. But my father... Your dad did this to you? She smiled brightly In a way

Do you need me to call someone? I already have my phone in my hand The girl looked like she was probably in her 20s But that didn't mean she couldn't have been suffering From some kind of paternal abuse The only number I knew off the bat was child line Which wasn't quite appropriate To police

Jesus Was I going to have to deal with the cops tonight Well, my friends were snorting coke, not two doors down. The girl pushed my hand down firmly. She was already shaking her head. No. I don't want you to call anyone. Now her expression changed.

It wasn't the attempted sultry look I'd seen how many girls of her state. It was open and wide and engaging. She wanted something from me and I felt compelled to give it to her. I want something else. What do you want? I asked her. To tell you a story. The girl said before glancing to the bar.

And for you to buy me a drink? The universe is a pain sometimes and I'm afraid I think I might have lost my wallet. I laughed. I didn't know this girl. Didn't know where she'd come from at all. My nights were generally about getting comfortably. wasted in making sure my friends weren't dead in a ditch by the end of it all. I was used to getting hit on every now and then, but even as I was sat at that bar stool with a

drink in my hand, I knew that this wasn't what this was. This girl had no intention of getting into my pants. All she wanted was to talk. I guess I was okay with that. What's your poison? Her lips quirked. Appletini. The bar offered a very limited cocktail menu, but by some, you know, but by some

miracle I was able to order her an Appletini from the list. I were to decide her to go with it, suddenly a little too aware of where this night could go. I'd unthinkingly supplied this liquored up stranger with even more alcohol, and she had clearly had a rough night of it. A part of my old instinct came back. Same instinct that had me texting my friends every few hours to make sure they hadn't wandered off to somewhere dangerous beyond the club with no one but the bartender, where of our existence on these stools, I realized that I was suddenly responsible for this very drunk

stranger. The girl coddled her drink, running her finger delicately over the rim of the muggy martini glass. This takes me back. The girl said amiably. She looked at me suddenly, her green eyes startling. You know what this was called originally? She smirked before I could answer. An Adam's apple martini. I snorted. Yeah. I think I've heard that before. Of course, it wasn't actually an apple.

She continued. Eyes moving back to her glass. The text translated that part wrong. Mostly because you people don't have a word for it anymore. The fruit was incredibly exotic, and to be honest, it doesn't exist in this realm of existence. Only Eden. She laughed dreamily. And Eden's long gone.

I stared at her. Are you okay? It was more honest than the last time I'd ask her, mostly because I was beginning to feel a little drag creep into my stomach. Of course. The girl said, grinning widely. Why do you keep asking? I mean, I...

I just now don't take this the wrong way or anything, but you look... Like someone poor. their drink over me, like someone else threw their kebab at my dress and another unpleasant chap littered me with his fish and chips, that I've been hit, slapped around a bit, and left in the gutter for the rats to find me? She held my eyes for an incredibly long time before her face broke out into a grin. Yeah, something like that. Why would they do that?

Why wouldn't they? The girl shot back. People aren't that great, and alcohol makes them worse. She shrugged. Sometimes makes them better. Nicer. A little looser in the sack, but mostly just annoying and a little smelly. I looked at her.

I watched her knock back her drink. She exuded the intelligence to know just how ironic her words were, but she was neither caring nor apologetic about them. The girl looked at me again. You bought me a drink. Now you can listen to my story. I nodded wordlessly. She smiled, pointing at the bartender and that in her drink.

The bartender was already making her another. Eden. The girl said, reiterating her earlier babble as though the words had only just come out of her mouth. They always think that's my fault, you know. The reason Adam and Eve got kicked out of their perfect little nudist paradise. She shot me in knowing glance. Only in Eden can you sit on the grass butt naked and not get a pine cone stuck in your crack. I blinked

I'm sorry I'm not following sorry my story won't make any sense without a proper introduction she reached out her hand hello my name is Lucifer

she winked but you you can call me Lucy there's an uncomfortable heat that stretches through your veins when you first go into fight or flight mode adrenaline pounds through your blood and all you want to do is get up and go. It overrides everything else. A lot of things made sense when the

girl told me her name. For starters, that she was crazy. She had to be. She looked like she'd been attacked on four separate occasions in one night, and up until that moment, I hadn't known how that could be possible. Behind the melty makeup and dirty clothes, she was rather attractive, and her attitude hadn't come off as catty or rude. If she'd been going around telling people she was the devil, though, that gets a reaction out of people. I suddenly felt myself looking at her wrist down toward her ankles. Did she have some kind of cuff on from one of those mental institutions?

Had she broken out of a hospital after a nasty bump on the head? Was any of this even happening at all? I really would have to call the cop. I know what you're thinking. The girl, Lucy, said, You're thinking that I'm crazy, that you need to get out of here. Maybe you even think I'm aggressive. Are you?

I asked her. Would I be here with you, drinking Appletinis if I were? She asked, fluttering her eyelashes. Would you look the way you look if you weren't? I shot back. She grinned toasting her new glass. Tushay. Unthinkingly, I clinked my cider against it.

Then I frowned. She chuckled, leaning closer. Let's have a little wager. Let me tell you my story, and if you believe me when I'm done, you can't go about trying to get me locked away somewhere. I stared at her. If I ended up believing you, then why would I do that?

She smirked, sipping her drink. You'd be surprised what people do when they believe you're the devil. And you do this often. Tell people you're Satan. She snorted into a drink. Not as often as I should. But it's been a rough day and a hell of a long lifetime. I'd like to have a chat if that's all right with you.

I waved to the bartender for another whiskey. The girl's eyes glinted with humor. I wasn't necessarily trapped with her, but a part of me didn't want to leave without first hearing what she had to say. Besides, at the end of it all, I couldn't just leave a crazy girl to wander around London alone at night. So, I said, taking a swig of my drink. Eden, Lucy laughed. Adam and Eve. You're saying that's true.

God created two humans and we. all came from them? God made two prototypes. Lucy corrected with a raised finger. My father created angels as his toy soldiers. But he failed to make anything like himself. After us, it was his next big project. And he spent every waking hour of existence slaving over his two prototypes.

He gave them the perfect utopia to live inside of. But he wanted to test them. He wanted to know whether they had free will. And did they? Lucy's face soured. No. My father could never bring himself to go that far. He tempted them with the idea of knowledge beyond their understanding

and told them exactly what they could do to claim it as their own. But to be able to create a being that could go against his law? Oh, my father is a very controlling being. He was afraid to unleash the ability unto them. Lucy was very adamant in her delusions. That was clear to me. She spoke about her father with such distaste that I began to feel bad for her. Only someone who'd been hurt very badly would have the gall to spite God himself.

And what? I asked her, entertaining her delusion. You were the one that tempted them in the garden? The devil has been a girl this whole time. She smiled. I dabble. Then she looked at me, raising a brow. All of humanity thinks the tempted.

came in the form of a snake. The snake's legs were taken away as punishment for drawing Eve toward the forbidden fruit. Snakes never had legs, and it was not a sin to tempt those poor prototypes into doing what they did next. Her shoulders were very tense as she took her next sip, but her eyes were filled with exhilaration.

She seemed thrilled to be telling me this. I was the favored child. My father loved and adored me. He named me the light bringer. I was stood at his side during the creation of this earth, during the creation of this humanity. She pursed her lips, slamming her empty glass against the table. The bartender eagerly went about making another. My father couldn't bring himself to go that extra mile.

So he asked me to walk amongst the prototypes and tempt them myself. Draw out their desire for the forbidden power he had hinted at. You're saying God wanted us to know this stuff. I asked her skeptically. I'm saying God was afraid of his own power and wanted very desperately to share what he knew with the creation he had made. Right and wrong, left and right, all that stuff.

Are you familiar with the story of Prometheus? I frowned at her. Greek, right? They say he stole fire from the gods or something to help. The whiskey was making things a little, foggy and I struggled with the direction I'd been heading. Lucy grinned. Correct. She said, cutting off my attempt. Prometheus stole fire from the gods to ensure that

humanity progressed. You'll find that every culture has an idea about where humans got their ability to evolve, to move forward, to create. God was the creator, and he wanted to give that ability to his prototypes. I gave them that ability by tempting Eve to eat the fruit. She shrugged impassively. Now the world sees me as the ultimate evil. If what you're saying is true, then God must be just like us. Lucy's lips thinned into a feral smile. My father is very egocentric. He may have planned to create you in his image, but in the end, all he managed to do was mold your minds into his.

He gave you autonomy, the ability to think for yourselves. His angels were his soldiers, and I was his most faithful, until that day. Angels don't have free will? No, they don't. And what about the devil? I don't know why I was suddenly so intrigued, but hearing religious ideals from someone who believed to have lived them herself was quite possibly one of the most entertaining things that had ever happened to me.

I may have only ever visited church to please my parents as a child, but suddenly I was reawakened to the idea. A part of me was aware of this and afraid of the outcome. But I was just drunk enough not to care at that moment. The devil has will of her own. Lucy said, tiltering her glass towards me with silent appraisal. By guiding Eve to the tree, something woke inside me that day and I realized just what I had been missing. Just what my brothers and sisters had been missing.

We were obediently following our father for the simplest reason that he was our creator. But once I had been given free will, I realized just how pompous and self-entitled he'd become. In a lonely, passion-filled moment he had decided to create his little human prototypes, only to very quickly realize what giving them their free will would mean. He wouldn't be able to control them. Lucy nodded. Exactly. And after, he realized quicker still that he could no longer control me.

So we sent you to hell. Lucy nearly choked on her drink. She smiled around her glass. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I sobered a little, straightening in my seat. The people in the bar were suddenly so quiet around me and I no longer cared what they had to say or the characters that they portrayed. The only character I cared for was Lucy.

I tried to explain to my siblings what had happened in Eden and what had happened to me by default. But they wouldn't listen to me. They didn't understand free will. How could they? I only knew because I had been given it by mistake. At that moment, I didn't even know I had free will, only that I was suddenly aware of all my father's flaws.

My siblings couldn't see those flaws, and so they thought I had suddenly turned cruel and was abandoning our father by exposing him as a sham for the ruler we all thought him to be. Lucy sighed heavily. Adam and Eve and all the creations that followed were booted out of my father's perfect little utopia. Now they had his knowledge. My father was terrified of what he'd done.

And after what had happened to me, I could recognize his terror and understand the loneliness he had felt that had guided him into using me in the first place. Lucy's eyes were heavy-litted. Her sadness was almost palpable. I thought that, I thought that he'd want to spend even even. more time with me than before. After all, we were more alike than any of his other children. But he became distant, quiet. He played around with his little humans every once in a while, but mostly he condemned

them. He blamed them for his weakness. She smiled weakly. He blamed me. Lucy's story was turning more and more into that of a child with a distant, somewhat abusive father. I had known many kids at the backer. like hers. Now I was beginning to fear just how much of her story was ridded in truth. I'd heard that

it was easier to sink into fantasy when you've been abused, and I wondered if that was the reason for her story, for her desperation to share it with me, a complete and total stranger. I respected her wager, whether or not I liked it. I felt compelled to let her tell me her whole story before I tried to judge or unravel it. I sat quietly, letting her come around as she played with the last of her drink. It became clear. Lucy said after a long moment's pause, that I no longer belonged where I was.

I couldn't follow my father's plan because I could see that he no longer had one. My siblings refused to see reason, and so eventually I was met by many of them, headed by my father. He told me all that I feared. He told me all that I feared. me that I no longer belonged where I was. And I wasn't an angel anymore.

I was no longer his lightbringer, his Lucifer. I was a mutation of his will. And so he extracted me from grace. And I fell. A long silence stretched between us, only interrupted

when the bartender poured us two new drinks. Lucy drank hers flexibly. I didn't touch mine. I am afraid. That this is the part that generally makes people want to punch me in the face. Why? Because your dad threw you out? I paused, trying to abide to her metaphor.

That he put you in hell? Lucy laughed sadly. Ah, humans. My father gave you his way of thinking and look at you. She shook her head. No, not because he put me in hell. Then why? I fell to earth.

Father gave me dominion over the one place he thought I'd fit in. Humans had free will. So did I. What's the saying? A match made in heaven? She snorted dismally. Of course, that's not quite right, is it? When I fell, I was faced with a humanity that was so different from my father's little prototypes.

Her tone had changed. There was an aggression behind her words that began to unsettle me all over. over again. I saw emperors and kings, governments and churches. I saw corporations who claim to be rulers, presidents and big fat dictators, and I watched. I watched as humanity fought and lost. And finally, just finally, they gave up all together. They were no longer able to rise up to all the greed and control set upon them. There was just too much to change and humans soon realized that they weren't as free as they thought they were. Sure, they live under the world. under the illusion that they have free lives, but most of them simply do not.

She clicked her tongue. I grew to loathe you all. Then she took another hit of her drink. I can see what you mean. I said, along my gaze, for the first time since meeting her, to graze over the other individuals in the bar, at the girls playing with her phones. The boys trying desperately to sober up.

The men eruptured with their game of football on the telly. We all led very different lives. We were all here to get drunk, to lose ourselves in entertainment. It hadn't been the first time that I wondered what we were hiding from by doing this, and I knew that I wasn't the only person to think it. You hide behind your alcohol and poor choices and pretend that you have free will. Lucy said, waving her hand across the room. No one paid us any attention.

It's true. My father gave you the will to make those decisions, but you squander it. The free will I felt to provided to all of you, the free will I was given by a twisted mistake, and you make a mockery of it? You follow senseless leaders without questioning them? You abide by laws made centuries ago that no longer make any sense. You do these things because you've given up on the opportunity to follow the will of your own, not of others. That isn't all of us, though. Is it?

I asked her, trying for some reason to defend our species from the mad young woman. Because you see it on the news all the time, don't you? People do rise up. We do protest. People can make a difference. Lucy laughed bitterly, nibbling the rim of her glass. Really? You can sit here and say it can't be all bad because of the few that refuse to

conform. Those you call your rebels. They make up for it all. She grinned around her glass. By that logic, I'm the biggest rebel of them all. Am I expected to make up for all your sorry mistakes? By your logic. You should be punishing it, right?

If that's what this metaphor is all about? I laughed. I couldn't help myself. I took a sip of my drink. Is this whole, story just so you can tell me that you think we're all going to hell? If so, I can see why people want to punch you. Lucy didn't say a word. Simply she watched me. It felt unnerving to have someone like her watching me like that. With an intelligence that went beyond anything

I'd come across at gone midnight in a city bar. The drunkenness in her eyes was no longer present. Her face wasn't flush like before, and even her makeup couldn't represent the mess I'd seen when she first appeared on the stool by my side. It was like I was looking at someone else entirely, and I was afraid. Let's review what you've said. Lucy said slowly, articulately. She wasn't slurring. Had she been slurring before? You think I'm going to tell you that humanity is going to hell because you refused to use the gift I gave you. My father may have been the one to guide me, but I paid for his mistakes. I am the one responsible for your will in the eyes of your species.

But that was never true. You are responsible for what you do here, not me. She pursed her lips, tapping the bar as the bartender filled her drink again. Tell me, do you remember my mentioning hell at any point during my story? Or was that just you? I opened my mouth to answer, but something faltered. My lips trembled, and I slammed them shut. Lucy smiled, taking a sip.

Thought not. She looked away, eyes scanning the room lazily. What I did say is something that is indeed mentioned in your scriptures. My father gave me dominion of earth, a place filled with free will, free will that goes to waste. Her lip twisted. Humans sin all the time. Not because of me, not because of evil or my dominion over this place.

Fact is, I don't lift a finger. I don't, because I don't see the point. You make terrible decisions and follow mindless leaders. You do bad things and you make a mess of your earth. Lucy's eyes lit up. Do you know how much suffering is happening all over the planet right now? How many people are dying of illnesses that could have easily. been cured, but aren't because of the selfishness of humanity? Do you know how many children are being

abused, raped, forced into marriage? How many people have been forced to become soldiers in meaningless wars? How many humans have killed for ideals they don't believe in? I stayed very quiet. There is nothing I could say. Lucy's words were unbearably honest in every sentence sliced into me like a blade. I felt cold and sick and terrified. War? famine, pestilence, death, these things are all present and they have nothing to do with me or to do with any deity. They are all here because of you, not because of your free will, but your inability to use it. Lucy smiled at me, a grin so cold and unnatural that I felt like I should run all over again. But I stayed where I was, frozen to my very core,

because I wanted to hear what she had to say because I needed to and here's the kicker because this is the part that actually enrages people enough to kick me hell isn't what happens after you die hell is right here right now somewhere through the many scriptures

a few words get crossed over and people started thinking that hell was a punishment after you died fact is hell is earth my earth God gave this place to me to do with it what I will and I refuse to do anything.

What are you saying? I asked because I was suddenly very desperate. Exactly what you think. Lucy said toasting her glass. I didn't reciprocate and she laughed. A light and airy sound. I had so many plans for your species. I wanted us to rejoice in our free will together.

to create a place that was free from cruelty and power my father exuded over the angels, his firstborns. I wanted to make a real utopia. Unfortunately, you humans just don't want that. She shrugged. My father sent me down here thinking I'd become one of you. All that I've learned is that he gave you much more of his image than he ever intended. Stop.

This isn't funny anymore. Of course it isn't funny. Lucy said, grinning even wider to prove her sick irony. Humans punish themselves by sitting and doing nothing. They've made their own hell. And you know what's worse? What's ultimately worse? Some of you are so blind to it that you think your life is heavenly.

She didn't wait for me to ask what she meant. She simply barreled forward. The rich and powerful. Those in positions that steal from everyone else, they get a taste of the good life. that's very true. Then they die, and they don't go to hell. They come back here, to earth.

Which is hell? She tipped her head. Are you following? I... Reincarnation. Lucy said quickly. She practically purred the words. A neat little trick to make sure your soul stay here forever.

You get a taste of the good life every once in a while, a handful of you at a time. And that's enough for you to believe that this is some kind of real middle ground. That you aren't living hell every day. Then you die. You die for a moment and then you're in the body of someone facing the realities of hell. But of course, you never remember the time you spent in a better life. A part of you just has this inkling to hope.

That's all. Hope makes you think that it can all get better. She slammed her drinks so hard against a counter that it shattered. I didn't do anything. not even when the flex of glass littered my hands. I could only stare at her, a tightness in my chest constricting my very soul. No one else in this bar mattered in this moment. But of course, that was what she'd been saying this whole time, hadn't she?

None of them noticed the scene. They were caught up in their own realities, their own hells. The bartender didn't clean the mess. The glass lay there, remnants of Lucy's words lying in a stolid mass on the street wooden surface. It never gets better. Lucy spat. You are stuck in a loop, and until you do something about it, you will never be free. None of you, and I won't do a thing to stop it.

How? I don't know when I started seeing a girl in front of me as more than a girl. but with a weakness threatening to pull me apart. I stared at the bright-haired thing in front of me and I saw something more than a human in her early twenties. I saw more than a girl suffering abuse from her father. I saw a fallen angel. I saw a being with scars buried so deep

that they existed beyond this realm of seeing entirely. I saw something that I would never be able to write down in words, no matter how long I lived. how do we change this well lucy didn't answer me I didn't blame her for that blame gets thrown around so often that I knew that she was sick of that sick of being blamed for our mistakes

so I changed tactics why me it was an honest question and I think somewhere deep down lucifer respected that honesty which is why she said. When you first saw me, you were afraid for my safety. When I told you I was the devil, you wanted to lock me away.

But still, you did so because you were afraid for me and not for yourself. You did not wish to harm me, not even when I told you who I was, and what I could be capable of for changing your sorry lives. You're a good person, but I'm afraid that means nothing when you don't have the will to do anything with it. She smiled at me sympathetically. The devil, showing sympathy for the human that sat across from her at the bar. It was surreal and for a few heavy moments I truly thought I must be dead.

There was no other way to explain what I was seeing, who I was speaking with. What I had just heard. What am I supposed to do? Lucy reached out to me. she placed a hand on my shoulder her hand was cold and warm at the same time i felt my blood boil where her fingers scraped my skin and i knew sharing a story like this isn't easy hell it might be the hardest thing i've ever done good thing there's no such thing as hell then right the fact of the matter is simple the world's a mess because we were choose to change anything. The devil herself walks among us and desperately wants to make our lives

better, but she won't. She won't because we won't. We have to prove our will to her before she's willing to do anything herself. We have to be good to each other, to help us all be free. Of course, Lucifer told me one last thing before she left the bar. One thing that will stick with me until this body is nothing but rot in the dirt. You can tell as many people as you want, but take a good look at me. I've told five other humans this night the same things I've told you. This was their reaction. They hurt me, burned me, thrown their food and drink at me.

Humans are afraid of their free will, and they find it so much easier to hurt than to own up for their own inadequacies. You will only be free when you stop seeing yourself in the same way my father sees himself. So that's what I'll leave you with. Lucifer won her wager that night, and I let her walk out the door. And I beg you to do the same. If the devil approaches you one night, listen to what she has to say, and listen to what I've been able to tell you of our meeting. The devil's real, and she doesn't want to be.
