Floyd's life as a pope at an American corporation was a quiet descent into mediocrity, until he earned the ire of a druidic cult from the Soviet Union. Now even sanctifying a Pilates class can become a harrowing journey.
It is almost time for the annual pilgrimages to the job descriptions that vest citizens with arcane powers. However, casting off his mitre is not in the cards for Floyd.
Rumors say that an immensely important job description will be unveiled at the annual Pope Conference in Tampa, and sinister forces gather among the neon lights.
It is 1983, the year of fast paced electronic music and edgy corporate rituals.
This time, the red scare brings fire and brimstone.

All The Little Lights
"You are kidding me, right?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. "Do I seem like I am kidding?" "No, you don't. But I also don't feel that I will listen to you." I said, giving him my infamous innocent smile Me!!! Clean his shoes?!! Who in the hell does he think he is?!! "You will. These shoes are limited edition pieces of one of the world's most expensive brands. Being the gentleman I am, I am not making you buy me a new one. I need you to clean it. Simple." "Do I look like I care? Oh..Look..my cup of care is empty." I said, motioning to the now empty coffee cup in my hands. He looked at me, then to my hands. Slowly, he nodded his head in understanding. Next thing I know, I am drenched in water, and he is closing the water bottle in his hands. I looked at him with my mouth agape. "You're right. I can see your cup of care is empty, but, seems like it is brimming with arrogance." With that, he walked away while I stood there thinking of a thousand torturous ways to kill him. Fantastic!! Just another addition to my list of paybacks. ------------------------------------- They two are nothing but mere strangers put together by the hands of fate, and they couldn't help but have to bear the unwanted presence of each other in their life, a little longer. After all, what could possibly go wrong? Sit back and enjoy, for this is going to be one hell of a ride ;) **************** Rated mature. *contains violenceComplete

It had been a couple years since I Iast been with a man. I was pissed at my boss, and he was good looking, so I accepted his offer. Next, I emailed my boss telling him I wasn't making the deadline because I was going to get laid. And I did... lots of it. The next morning he was gone. Months later, I run into my boss--in the dark--on masquerade night at a sex club. Let's just say we had an interesting moment. After that I wanted to kill him more than I already wanted to.
