IOU One Soul
A short story I found in my drafts, in which an angel and a demon bicker in a casino. Just because.
Warning: religious imagery/tropes, addictions, drinking, gambling, throwing up, the mob, and weird creepy dudes who pick up drunk women in casinos.
I suppose you think this is funny.
…That’s besides the point. Listen, the girl isn’t yours. But it is amusing.
She’s not yours, either, it seems.
…I don’t get paid enough for this.
I didn’t think angels got paid.
And demons do?
When they bet on red.
She bet on black.
Don’t remind me. You’d think she’d be better at this by now.
Well… she’s not playing poker any more, at least?
She needs to quit gambling. Really.
I thought it was your job to tempt her.
You thought wrong. I can’t watch this.
I know. It’s torture. …Wow.
…Wow. I’ve never seen someone this bad at this — and I practically live in casinos.
…Why did the bouncer let her in?
