In Flowers
I think it was the mountains, and clean air,
I watched her gaze, She watched my stare.
In a strange land no friend for a frown,
It was truly fate when paths crossed in that town.
She said "Ciao", I could barely speak,
I was struck, my knees were weak.
As time passed She took many different forms,
The most recent got married after telling me She was torn.
When you see her you will know what I mean,
She's beautiful, She's smart, She's a dream.
So for now ill keep wondering and wandering the night,
Looking for her smile, that Love at first sight.
Lucy.
Before God stood the four generals; There was Gabriel who was strong, powerful and loyal. Michael, the bravest of the bunch also honest and smart. Rafael is highly intelligent and has a deep care and love for all of Gods creations. Then there is Lucy, she is Heavens fiery disciplinarian.
God explains to the Generals that humans on Earth are straying from the original plan. The plan of Love, Peace, and Joy. A world created for humans, protected by humans.
God gives the four Generals new assignments. Gabriel is to be the messenger between Heaven and Earth. Rafael is sent to protect and heal the people. Michael is to stay with God in Heaven as the top adviser, Consigliere if you will. Lucy is dispatched to oversee the newly formed Underworld. A place where all of the undesirables will be sent from here on out.
Lucy is the perfect fit for her new role. She is also glad to be away from Michael as the two are constantly at odds over everything. There is some history between them but both are tight lipped about it, however everyone knows she feels scorned.
Lucy receives new souls on a daily basis. She welcomes them in and sits with each one to get their side of the story. After all she has to make sure she is not wrong in the matter, she must always be right.
The souls are first led to a holding area, a dimly lit, damp room of rock. The smell of wet mold and iron on the walls is almost overwhelming. Lucy likes to serve them whatever worldly desire they last crave, whilst explaining to them what form of discipline they will be receiving for eternity.
This makes the souls feel at ease. She then opens a large black marble door which shows them their eternal damnation. As she stands behind the dark soul she whispers in the sweetest, most amazing, soothing voice, "Enjoy Hell". In that split second the mood changes from one of extreme bliss to eternal torment and shattering fear, as she proceeds to kick the ever deserving soul into its rightful pit of fire and endless torture.
Occasionally Lucy laughs to herself, and never feels bad. If there is ever any doubt in her mind she rubs her lucky Goat Horns. She received them as a gift from God before taking her beloved post on the throne of the underworld. She wears them around her neck, on a necklace, more for intimidation than anything else.
There were people on Earth that didn't believe in a Heaven or almighty God. those souls were her favourite to receive. The good ones of course would be greeted in heaven for an eternity of happiness and an amazing afterlife. The bad ones however, well that was right in her wheelhouse. The looks on their faces were priceless. She would snap selfies with them and add the caption "SURPRISE!" as she posted them online. Michael didn't find it funny at all, but God would smirk.
There were also people on Earth that worshipped her. Lucy could never understand this. Why would anyone want an eternity in hell? Although she would never admit it, everyone knew she liked the attention. When these souls got to her they were in awe of her immense beauty. Her long dark hair, dark eyes and her soft skin, which has a slight red tint to it, as she is always around a burning fire. Lucy would immediately send these souls back to earth as something vile and horrible, only to repeat the process over and over when they continue to die. That was their hell never getting to be in actual hell. She got a kick out of it even if it was a nuisance.
As time inevitably moves forward, Lucy continues to grow fond of her role. She is a perfectionist and takes pride in her job. She still communicates with God, mostly through social media, she finds its the perfect medium for her. She knows with every soul she collects and recruits she gains another star on her shoulder. She becomes more powerful everyday in Gods army, she is after all Gods Underboss.
