Gabriel was more relaxed than he had been in aeons. He had not lost his patience for at least three days. He was a new Archangel.
Saint Peter had mentioned this to saint Paul who inturn had mentioned it to the big man himself.
Michael and Azriel were happily going about their work of watching the errant humans. Azriel was relieved not to have had Satan whispering in his ear all the time.
“Where is Satan” saint Peter asked the big man. The big man smiled and winked. ….
Down on earth in the middle of nowhere in particular there was strange new vibes at a stone ring. The word new is not often associated with stone rings.
What was going on saint Paul asked of the big man. The big man touched his nose and smiled. They both looked at Gabriel who was relaxed, calm and happily oiling his sword.
It is all simply explained. Four days ago Gabriel had gone into total melt down. Saint Peter had found him running naked through Heaven’s gates. He had asked the demented archangel what was wrong. One word was the shrieked reply. “SATAN”
Saint Peter had reported this latest event to the big man who had immediately visited Satan and frog marched him out of Hell.
They had arrived at the stone ring. The big man smiled and apologised to the old stones for any inconvenience he might be causing them. He explained that this new devil shaped stone would be joining them for a year.
The oldest stone asked what will happen to Hell while he is away. The big man assured them that Hell could wait, it’s timeless.
So peace reined in heaven, while a crotchety Satan did his best to cause trouble with the old stones, who totally ignored him.

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.

Another great installment β€οΈ
Thank you Sis π
This stone is certainly making its presence felt across the prompt this week π
Yes indeed it is π
This Stone makes sense! π
Thank you, but how do you mean , the stone makes sense π
The old stones have been there for centuries, observing all. The stones ignore Satan despite his shenanigans, trying to get their attention. The stones ignore Satan. That makes sense! π
Yes that was my feelings as well , thank you for clarifying π
xo
ππ
Good for the old stones!
Yes they can play deaf if they choose ππ€
I just hope no one stumbles across the old stones and decides to move them! Great imagination.
Satan is such a pain that if he got out too soon all Hell would be let loose !
Thank you Sue π
I think I *can* see that stone working itself into giving a middle finger! Loved this take.
Yes he is well pissed! π€π
A swell creative story Willow. Oh, that wicked Satan.
He is an absolute nightmare! π

Reblogged this on anita dawes and jaye marie.
Thank you so much for the reblog π
I like it. What a good use for a stone.
I am not sure the other stones in that circle would agree π€
Totally clever take. Well written as well.
Thank you Violet from you , the storyteller, β€ I take that is music to my ears . I often write about Satan’s torment of Gabriel . This little story is the first time The Big Man gave Satan some pay back! β€
Thank you Sue π
