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.
