David: There Goes The Neighborhood

“Sir?” interrupted the archangel. “There’s someone at the Gate.”

“IS IT LUCIFER AGAIN? HAS HE COME TO APOLOGIZE?”

The archangel studied his sandals, cutting trails through the cloudstuff with his toe. “Um, no, sir. It’s… Abel.”

“WHAT? ADAM AND EVE’S BOY? WHAT’S HE DOING HERE?”

“Apparently, he’s dead, sir. His brother killed him, and the next thing he knew, he found himself here.”

God’s forehead furrowed. Somewhere, a mountain range erupted. “WAIT, WHAT? WAS THAT IN THE SPECS? DID I APPROVE THAT?” God sighed, creating a new species of heron.

“OKAY, LET HIM IN. BUT DON’T LET HIM TOUCH ANYTHING.”
