Damien bites the hand that gives him sanctuary

Thanks so much to all who visit! And thanks especially for your comments.

Here's another six from Death Is A Bitch, circulating on sub round #1. The daemon Damien was such a hoot to write, I'm considering giving him a spinoff story. In this scene, he's in Paris, tormenting a priest who's granted him sanctuary from the posse of angels hunting him:

Damien revealed his true self to the priest, who grew more horrified as the daemon’s skin charred, the stench of rotted flesh filling the small room. Damien’s nostrils flared above a malicious smile, eyes blazing like a fiery kaleidoscope.
The priest hastily made the sign of the cross, grabbed a wooden one from the wall and held it in front of him like a shield. “Back to Hell where you belong, unclean spirit.”
“You first.” Damien let his split tongue loll past his chin in his best Kiss impression.

Next week will be the last peek at Death, at least for awhile.
Be sure to check out the fantastic Six Sentence Sunday participants! And I have a new poll at top right - what's your greatest fear? 

Have a wonderful week!
