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:
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.

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.”Next week will be the last peek at Death, at least for awhile.

I could "see" your excerpt playing in my mind's eye like a movie. Sounds like my kind of movie, too! Loved it, Cate. Thanks for sharing!
Very evocative, Cate
Damien sounds like a very fun character!
Oh my like the others I 'saw' this clip, and love your final line, "Damien let his split tongue loll past his chin in his best Kiss impression."
Very descriptive - had me cringing!
You had me at 'Best Kiss impression." Fun six! :)
Scary and descriptive! Great six!
Love it! I can see why you had such fun creating Damien.
Oh, great character, great description. "You first." Love that!
Ditto--could see your excerpt very clearly in my mind. Excellent imagery as usual. :) LOVE the last line and the picture. When I was little, my aunt had a Kiss picture on her wall. Used to scare the crap out of me. So the reference to it made me laugh.
Awesome. Lovin' this story, can't wait to read the whole thing.
I got a great mental image of the shuddering priest. Damien looks amazingly like Gene Simmons. *lol*As usual, you don't disappoint.
Oh, nice. I can see it.
Urgh, this thing is creepy! Totally rocked like a movie though, Cate - great job :)
LOl Damien does sound like a fun character!
Vivid and throat-grabbing. Great job!
Love the last line. Damien sure has fun here and I can see why you want to do a spin-off
scary! well done!
"KISS" impression xD
Very scary. I voted in the pool. I hate spiders. They are so creepy.
Ha! Love your demon! :) Kiss impersonation, lol! Great six!!!
I was so not expecting to see *that* this afternoon. It really set the scene for me. I cringed at the thought. lol Great six!
Poor priest. "Damien...being a very bad boy only makes things worse." lol!!! The naughty never learn, I guess.
I'm really loving this story. I can see Damien with his own story. I'm curious how he and 'Death' interract together, both strong characters. Can't wait to read more!
I could see it. Scary image. Great six!
Ooh, bad boy demon! Awesome!
Tsk, how ungrateful! :-P
You should have saved this one for Halloween! Eeek! Don't want to meet him on a dark Parisian night. Great six!
Sorry I'm late to the party--I kept coming by and the comment link wouldn't load until now! Technology!:(
Now that is a creepy, vivid snippet :-) Nice job!
I agree with the other commenters, this was very visual, but still, ugh... the tongue thing creeps me out :)
so, is the priest going to try to stake him with that wooden cross?
This is both creepy and amusing at the same time.
