The Angel and the Devil sat on opposite shoulders spewing arguments around the head that separated them.
“I know I am the reason for her funk, and I’m quite proud of that fact.” The Devil crossed his arms and a smug smile crept over his peeling lips.
“But it’s awful watching her frustration swell to the boiling point. Can’t you ease up a little?” The Angel’s plea fell on deaf ears. The Devil was quite adept at tuning her out.
Without warning, the shoulders of the host body began to rotate. Her arms reached forward, her fingers entwined and she stretched. Her fingertips touched the keyboard and the Angel stood to watch. Something magical happened and the Angel merely observed as the words began to etch themselves onto the screen. A little squeal of glee escaped her lips as she turned to stick her tongue out at the Devil.
Now the Devil felt the frustration. He stood and was about to embed his pitchfork into the side of the head when the Angel cried out.
“Don’t do it. She’s writing about us!”
The Angel continued to smile as the Devil flipped her off. They both took a seat on their rightful shoulder and let the creativity happen.

I am still laughing.Lovely take.
🙂 Thank you.
I too have been in a funk lately. Stupid Devil!
I’m getting the feeling it’s happening all over….I’m sure mine is part of the winter blahs. At least the sun is shining today and it’s not wicked cold. Spring is coming!!
I certainly hope it is.
(I wish the Angels came equipped with arrows!!)
Ha! An excellent return to form!
Thank you! 🙂
Brilliant!
Wow….thank you!
Here you are, bringing da funk to the funk…talk about turning the tables. Well played indeed.
Oh, and thanks for the comment about the comment — I’m absolutely certain you’ll return the favour at some point when I most need it. 🙂
