Description edit see section history

Don't call me a demon. I prefer the term Fallen Angel. Everybody deserves a vacation, right? Especially if you have a pointless job like tormenting the damned. So who could blame me for blowing off my duties and taking a small, unauthorized break? Besides, I've always wanted to see what... read more

Quotes edit see section history

  • “"Why would an all-knowing One create a being and give it a nature- give it desire, give it need- and then reject that being for doing what its nature called it to do?”
    Kiriel
  • “"The Reeds of the world- why did they always feel sorry later? Why couldn't they be sorry while there was still something to do about it? All this guy had to do was keep his mouth shut- just shut up and be still!- right now. All Reed had to do was nothing.That was all. And yet he wouldn't do it."”
    Kiriel
  • “Was this what being human did to you? Warped you so that all you could think about was the tiny points at which other people's lives intersected yours? Made you forget that every one of these points has not only a history, but an infinite number of possible futures that can be spun out or stunted- or even unraveled to make more possibilities?”
    Kiriel
  • “"There was somthing comforting about it <the church>. In some ways it bore a resemblance to bathing in Shaun's tub: the feeling of floating in something thicker than air, something that pressed around me and bore me upward even though I was still on the ground."”
    Kiriel
  • “"It's the glitches and twists...that make this universe unique and compelling. Without flaws, there would be no depth, no substance."”
    Kiriel
  • “"My place in the universe may not be what others would consider desirable. But it's mine."”

  • Was this what being human did to you? Warped you so that all you could think about was the tiny points at which other people’s lives intersected yours? Made you forget that every one of these points has not only a history, but an infinite number of possible futures that can be spun out or stunted—or even unraveled to make more possibilities?

  • It’s the glitches and twists, I thought, that make this universe unique and compelling. Without flaws, there would be no depth, no substance.

  • They say you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, I reflected as I headed across the cafeteria. Although what one would want to do with flies once caught, I do not know. Murder them, most likely—that seemed to me to be what humans generally did with caught flies. I suspected there was a lesson and a warning there about humans in general.

  • Perhaps, I thought as Jason trudged down the sidewalk, the reason I never wanted to worship perfection is that perfection is dull.

  • Whatever the reason, they punish themselves. I merely oversee; I don’t actively do anything about anything.

  • An eternity of wishing to speak directly to my Creator, I thought in despair—and this is how He finally contacts me? Through AOL Instant Messenger?

  • I was just fed up, you know; fed up with being a cog in a vast machine, with doing my pointless, demeaning job. It’s not like I was the only one who could do it—anybody could do it. Tormenting the damned—it practically does itself, no lie. And it’s depressing; I can’t tell you how depressing it is.

  • Creator, I thought, I’m sorry I didn’t understand what a bang-up job You did on this place.

  • Why would an all-knowing One create a being and give it a nature—give it desire, give it need—and then reject that being for doing what its nature called it to do? Why would He insert imperfections into His creations and then punish them for not being able to overcome those imperfections?

  • Already some of the novelty of this existence was wearing off—I hadn’t even done Shaun’s homework last night—and my own actions now seemed to me to be almost pathetic. All alone and unnoticed, playing a little game of dress-up using the clothes of a dead human.
