More things that go bump in the night.
Marly watched as the drain cover opened. A man, or was it a woman emerged. The whatever it was did not seem happy. Cocking his head to one side Marly wagged his tail hoping that would endear him. Gabriel was not to be won over though. Satan’s laugh could be heard in the distance.

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Eleven years ago I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " not quite but with the help of a walking stick and as long as I do not stand or sit in one position for too long, I am still standing! Update I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust, I will of been married 50yrs plus this year . Pain and boredom are my enemies now, I have to find different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light ?? I need to update this a little here. I have worked very hard over the years since my accident, I go to the gym regularly, I have a Pilates class and a core class once a week . The guys at the gym and my Pilates teacher cajoled, teased, bullied and encouraged me to abandon my walking stick! :) My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and as strongly as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well. I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits. View all posts by willowdot21
Good one willow, have a good day..
And you too Micheal π
Ooh! Good one sis π
Poor Marley! I hope he made it away unscathed!!!
I think he must of , let’s face it Grabriel is an Archangel after all is said and done. Archangels are known for their kindness, if tinged with strictness! Even Satan couldn’t push he/she/ it over the edge…..could he?? π±ππ
One would hope! π³ππ³
πππππ
Mind you Satan was an Archangel π±π±π±π±
Yes of course you are right. π³
Lol
I don’t trust things which come out of drains.
Not even the Archangel Gabriel?
I never trust anything coming out of a drain.
I say again, not even the Archangel Gabriel ? ππ
Great job, Willow! Poor Marley and Satan’s laugh was a bit creepy. π π
I have done a number of this challenge using the Characters of heaven and hell, often Satan causing trouble for the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, St Peter, God and a not so street wise angel called Azriel …last week Satan got Azriel to steal Gabriel’s torch “to show the humans the way?? That just caused chaos! π
And rightfully so! π I look forward to reading more, too! β€
Well we shall see what the photos prompt ππ
Nice take on the prompt!:)
Now I am wondering what transpired in the sewers!
I think Satan lured Gabriel down there “To save some lost souls” Satan knows how much Archangel Gabriel likes to keep his uniform pristine white, so he arranged a sewerage spill. Poor Gabriel was not best pleased.π
Hahaha! XD
Satan knows how to irk someone!
He certainly does
Ooooh, creepy.
Yes ππ
