The Cairn (Part three)

Teddy sighs.

“Save him then, Prince. On your head be it.”

The Devil laughs as Teddy falls. Teddy’s face breaks into a smile, but the Devil’s claws mar the unexpected happiness gracing his features. His eyes roll back as he hits the grass.

The Devil laughs.

Kevin screams.

The Cairn sits at the top of of a hill

This really was a great tale and so easily told. You have that ease of style. I really like the ending. And the old adage: "Better the devil you know" doesn't fit this case .. as he was a nasty one. ;)

Glad you liked the ending. I left it
so's that I could come back to it one
day, should I feel so inclined. Once
they're finished building of course. :)
