Hellspawn

Juggling a job, a social life, and parental duties is a struggle for every single parent, especially if that parent is the ruler of Hell. Lucifer needs help since his devilspawn has been known to extinguish the eternal fires with his tears, mind control giants into dancing and breaking the seam between the rings, and most importantly, infuriating his benevolent grandfather.

Here are some excerpts from this work!

Introduction

A winged imp hurriedly travels down each ring of Hell from the surface to deep at the bottom with a note from The Big Guy in its hand. Each layer is stuffed with countless souls, most of whom look like regular people in varying degrees of disheveledness, and the imp has to weave and shove its way through all the souls. Lucifer, taking a break from cooing and playing with his child, spins around to show his son Damien attached to his chest, and is giggling. Lucifer reads the note that says, ‘Upstairs now.’ in fancy calligraphy.

Unintended Audience

Eerily quiet and calm, Damien begins to fall asleep in the rocking arms of his babysitter. She tiptoes around the debris of his bedroom, her movements careful to avoid the pools of lava that have appeared on the ground. Just as she's lowered him into the crib and has begun singing a lullaby, the screaming of all of the souls in the pit wakes Damien. He lets out a supersonic cry that explodes the babysitter's head right as Lucifer opens up the nursery door.
