She saw his face in the crowds every day. -- Oliver Rockwell was a 19th century man with a very odd, very annoying task-to guide 21st century Poppy Flores through her journey in time.

**Cover done by @victoria_arose ** !ONC Ambassador's pick! Angels are good and demons are bad. Right? Perhaps Terra just read too much into stereotypes, though. For as long as she could remember, her guardian angel, Marvik, was anything but holy and innocent. If it weren't for the demon on her other shoulder, however, Terra would have to agree with those stereotypes. Marvik and Sazorac did their honest best in leading Terra through life, but they didn't always advise in an ideal way. All she wanted was to make it through college and find a decent job. Through every step of the way, with her two relentless supernatural overseers, progressing forward each day was as treacherous as the last. ------------------------------ Based on the Open Novella Contest prompt #47: An angel obsessed with chaos and a law-abiding demon debate over who's good and who's evil. As you might expect, that debate gets out of control.

He smiled, and my heart started thumping wildly again. "Curiosity killed the cat, you know." He said, his voice soft as velvet. "But the cat also has nine lives... so why not use them?"
