"Here's your room. Huh-ha. I did kill off all the bugs." Nifty says.

"Umm... thank you?" I shrug. 

"Good night. Let the bed bugs bite." Nifty closes the door.

I turn on the light and look around. It's small. It's like the side of a broom closet. I pull out my bag from space and time. I throw it on the ground. I pull off my shoes. What I need is a shower. I'm exhausted. 

I walk into the tiny bathroom and turn on the shower. I feel the water. Unfortunately, it was fucking too hot. I wince and use my power to lower the temperature. I feel it with a finger. Okay, just right. I pull off my shirt and my pants. I walk into the shower. I let the water run over me.

I run it over my feathers. Hell is different but it's a good different. Everything changes. I feel more at home here, crazy I know. I'm a mix breed. I'm a freak to the order of Heaven. Is this where I belong? 

I hear my phone ring. I take it. I answer it.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Hey Varian! It's Adam!" The other side yelled. 

"Oh ummm... hi sir." I say nervously.

If he'd found out that I was in Hell, it be bad. I hope he doesn't find out.

"Where the fuck are you?! You're supposed to be serving me my snacks!" Adam yelled through the phone.

It almost broke my ears.

"I'm working on the story sir. You told me to do that." I say.

"I didn't expect you to fucking disappear!" He yelled.

"This story will be worth it. I promise. I need time." I say.

"Alright. I'll give you two weeks, but that's it." He says.

"Plenty of fucking time." I say.

"If you fucking fail-" He starts.

"I won't. I won't." I reassure.

"Okay then. Bye!" He yells.

I let out a breath.

"Bye." I say.
