"Human"

Alcohol Is The Devils Drink.

For those days when you think you can keep going, when stopping isn't an option and you have nothing else to do... Make your own path.

I woke up this morning thinking about how Julian was alive. I was happy, but if he was than there is still a possibility that he is too... I always remembered the way he hated alcohol, he drank it but always shouted "Don't over drink, you'll go nuts"

-Daniel-

I was a drunk. A waste of space. I was so angered with myself because of what I had done. That poor man... He didn't deserve it. I looked at the bartender, she automatically knew to pass a beer. As I grab it to take one last gulp Derik walks in. "I spend all this time getting you to stop drinking and you get drunk..." He says. I have nothing Derik! I have an old apartment, a girlfriend that doesn't love me anymore and my humanity... Pft, let's not even get started on that. "I didn't know demons could get so depressed" he says as he smiles. Of course not! Because the last 90 years you've been alive, all you've done is smoke crack and snort cocaine off hookers breast! "I know what I use to be, but I've changed. Something you'll have to do sooner or later." He says. "Just don't get yourself killed..." I can't, remember? I've tried already! "Yeah yeah, I'll see you tomorrow you moody mother fucker" he says this as he walks out with a smile.

As it becomes night me and the bartender are the last two in the bar. I look at her and smile. She looks at me than comes over. "So, why is it that you're always here?" I don't know, maybe because the alcohol helps? "As much as I love regular customers, it's sad to watch them slowly die." She said. Well, I promise I won't. I winked at her as I walk out of the bar. Thanks for the advice.

-Julian-

Wow, this car came out good as new. I take a step back to admire my work on the car. I saw Eric walk out of the house, " do you wanna go for a drink" he says. Yeah, sure why not.

We pulled to the bar. It seemed so empty. We walked inside and to our surprise we had a female bartender. It wasn't something that we saw very often. "Two beers" says Eric. She quickly slides two down the table and says "Don't over drink, you'll go crazy." I quickly look at her. It's nuts... Don't over drink, you'll go nuts. She looks at me "How do you know the phrase?" An old friend told me this. "Craver? That's how he introduced himself?" She said. Did he give you a first name? "Dylan? No it was Danny, he told me his name was Danny" Do you know where he is! "Next door in the motel, he should be there until next week"

We quickly rush home and grab Elly. "Where are we going???" We're going to see an old friend.

-Daniel-

I slowly kiss her and hold her against a wall. As the night continues we make love. The next morning I wake up with a note next to me. "Sorry I couldn't stay, had to go work." I smile and proceed to find my pants. All of a sudden I hear a loud knock. I'm coming Derik! I open the door wide open and in front of me was Elly, Julian and Eric. My eyes widen. "Daniel... You're alive..." I quickly grab my pants and put them on. What. "How long ago did you wake up?" Two years.... "You never died!" No... Not physically...

After the accident I died for 6 minutes. The doctors were able to resuscitate me. But before they did a man named Derik showed me something. I wasn't in my body. I was just wondering around with him. He said he could put me back in but I would have to let my body live without a soul for a while. The body can survive without a soul. This commonly happens after the death and resuscitation of a person. They may of already collected their souls but if the body can keep going than it will. He made me go through some trials. It felt like an eternity. Time was different down there. After what seemed like many decades I woke up in my body. It had only been 6 months. He later told me that the place I had been was not hell. It was purgatory. An innocent soul was not allowed into hell therefore he formed me into this in purgatory.

"What exactly did he make you into Daniel?" Many refer to me as an experiment down in hell. But I'm just a Demon from Purgatory. "You're a demon? But what about Julian?" Purgatory is the place where souls wait... Julian waited for his permission to enter where he had to go. I tried to help him out but his presence burned me. I guess it doesn't anymore....

-Julian-

So, I'm not a Demon? "No, you're something a bit more powerful, they are referred as Kings, Legends, Heroes. My kind is referred to as Beasts, Monsters, Villains." Said Daniel

-Daniel-
I make my way to a small glass of whisky and take a large gulp... I guess alcohol really is the devils drink.
