TARTERUS - HELL

0NE.

ЪЩψж**~ I tried to copy devilish, but when Pa saw what I wrote he kinda went a darker shade of red and told me unless I knew what I was writing I should stick to modern script. I thought I wrote "Once upon a time" like all good stories start. Apparently not. It made me mull over what language to use. Anywho the stupid computer only copied some symbols. Pa had glanced over my shoulder.

'Yes Pa, did you want me to do something?' I didn't realise he was still in my room.

'Daughter if you are going to be sorry about any mistakes, you won't last as a writer.' He grinned at me as he faded from sight.

I'd been sitting on my desk chair debating about what to write about. A thought popped into my head about where we live and I wondered whether anyone would be that interested. I was sick of doing nothing other than going to school and fighting with my brother and helping to keep this place clean. Pa had bought me a computer, pink in colour and set it up in my new study. He had seen me moping about and when he asked me, I said I was bored. When I say a new study, Pa just conjured it up next to my bedroom. The computer was sent to us from a secretary who lived on Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy. And then it exploded in my stupid skull, I was writing in English. My Pa is very devious, I only remember commenting about documenting about us and where we lived. Naturally it will be a semi-factual account. As I said at the heading it is an unreliable narrative. Although my brother Redman, or Red as he prefers and I Reubena or Ruby, my preference are the only children living here, we are not alone. I will tell about others that inhabit our home as we go along. Oh, by the way my study is painted pale blue and a solid timber desk sits in front of a window that looks outside. There are two drawers each side of where I sit on a large leather chair. Across one of the walls a wide shelf is stacked with books and writing material. I do have a printer if I need to print anything, but so far, I haven't used it. I actually wanted a 3 D printer, but Pa said no. I was a bit miffed when he refused and as usual, he never told me why?

Okay here goes nothing, hope you like my story. I'll try not to bore you too much. Red snuck into my study when I had to go to my bathroom and get a drink. He sat down and typed a load of rubbish, I'll give you an example, 90909>>>>fifififif. When I came back into my room and saw what he had done I was seething. I flew down stairs into his bedroom and covered his bed with excrement I conjured up. I also scooped up the gooey black remains of one of the house demons from when I used magic and smeared it over the mess on his bed. I grinned as I flew back to my study and waited. Sure enough, I heard a mighty scream, next minute he was standing next to me with a large dead rat covered in maggots. He aimed and tossed it at me. It smelt to high heaven especially with the maggots that floated down onto my desk.

'Get out of my room, you filthy little slug, and take your smelly buddy with you.' I yelled.as I threw the maggoty rat at him just as Pa suddenly appeared. Its smacked Pa in the face. I could have died of embarrassment.

'Children, what is going on?' Pa swiped the maggots that had dropped onto him. He then waved his hands in the air and the maggots and rat disappeared.

We both stood with our heads lowered. 'Nothing,' We both said all innocent like.

'Nothing, children, are you absolutely sure?' He stood over both of us not doing anything, just waiting.

'It's her fault, Father.' Red replied quickly. He'd been jumping from one foot to the other.

'Is that true Reubena?' Pa gazed intently into my eyes.

As Red finished speaking I stuck my foot out, tripped him and he hit the floor with a mighty bang. He screamed and burst into tears whilst cradling his right arm.
