Today I
finalized CJ coming over for the weekend and when. So huzzah. We may
or may not cause a political revolution in a subterranean society of
mole people again. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
The Demon
That Missed Christmas
The evil
holiday demon Torrath awoke from his slumber with an evil laugh and a
proclamation: “I will ruin Christmas!” The laugh echoed through
his dank cave lair and the torches across the walls turned from red
to blue as his awakened evil filled the room.
“Um, Sir, I
have some bad news.” His minion Carltor said. The minion watched
over his master while he slept and was the one who used the torches.
His humbled furniture creaked from his master's mere conscious
thoughts.
“What kind of
bad news?” The demon asked.
“You know how
you told me to never wake you up? Well you overslept and you missed a
Christmas. It's September now.”
The demon
roared. “Overslept? I can't oversleep! I never oversleep! It's a
requirement for me to live to wreck a holiday! If I don't do it soon
I could die! What...what holidays are happening now?”
“Um, there's
Unification Day in Bulgaria. It commemorates the unification of
Eastern Rumelia and Bulgaria.”
The demon
groaned. “Alright my usual evils are Christmas based and are
designed to battle Santa Claus. I don't know what powers guard
Unification Day in Bulgaria. I need to make something symbolic of the
holiday in order to get the evil energy that fuels my holiday demon
power to live. Hmm...I could lay a curse that will make the
Bulgarians more likely to get angry at each other on Unification Day
than they normally would on Unification day. I'll make the curse
small so whatever spiritual power watches over that holiday doesn't
notice me. It'll make me live till this year's Christmas.”
“Good plan
Sir. I'll ready your curse book. You're very clever.”
“Of course I
am. I'm a demon that has survived fighting the goodness and joy power
of Santa Claus. I have to be clever.”
