| Shane stands in the circle,
surrounded by the devil worshippers. He readies himself
for a fight. One of the worshippers takes a step towards
Shane. Shane tenses up in anticipation for an attack. The
worshipper speaks. Worshipper: Who are you? To Shane's surprise the man is speaking in plain english. Without letting his guard down Shane answers. Shane: I'm not telling you my name, I know you'll just use it to cast some sort of demonic curse on me. Worshipper: Then explaine why you are here. Shane: I think a better question is what are you guys doing here? I saw you chanting and making weird gestures. Worshipper: What? You mean that ritual we were performing? We were saying grace before we ate dinner. Shane: Huh? Worshipper: Devil worshippers eat to you know. It's not like our whole life involves sacrifices and bloody intestinal organs. Shane: Well I guess that explains that glazed ham and potatoes, but it doesn't explaine the flaming welcome sign. The worshippers look at each other perplexed. Worshipper: Flaming sign? Shane: Yes, above the archway to this hall. Worshipper: Oh, that sign. It's activated by a motion sensor. As soon as you trip it the sign lights. It's really quite cool. Shane: Hmm, that makes sense. Then what about the chilling feeling I got when I entered this place? I know it's because of all the evil practices that take place here. Worshipper: What are you talking about? Haven't you noticed that this damn church is drafty. Why do you think we wear these robes? Shane: You seem to have an answer for everything. I suppose your going to tell me that this place has nothing to do with the devil, that your just misguided Christians. Worshipper: Oh, no, no, no. We do worship the devil. Just not to the extreme of most Devil Churches. We just do it for attention. As far as I know we've never done anything that even, remotely, qualifies as ritualistic practise. Shane: So I guess I wasted my time then. I though I would find some interesting imformation I could use against a man named Diablo. Worshipper: Sorry to let you down. I wish we could have been more satanistic. Shane: I guess I'll be going then. Worshipper: Actually, that ham is really big and we made too many potatoes, so if you want to stay for dinner..... Shane: Sure! An hour and a half later Shane emerges from the Devil Church. He's walked to the door by his new Satanistic friends. As he leaces the church he waves good bye to them. As Shane stands on the sidewalk waiting for a cab he closes his little adventure. Shane: Well I learned absolutely nothing about Diablo's name. On the up side I got a free dinner and made some new friends. So this escapade wasn't a total loss. A cab pulls up to the curb. Shane reaches reaches for the door handle as the scene goes black. |
