Author: keppiehed
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: language, suicide
Word Count: 1993
Prompt: ledge
A/N: Written for week #4 at brigits_flame. Well, I didn't want to write this, but the Devil wouldn't leave me alone. I think I am the only one amused by him, but I can't help but write him anyway, even if he and I are

Oh, it's so great to hear from you! I've missed your poetry at the Flame! I hope you are doing well.

Thanks so much for stopping by to read this. This entry isn't quite as funny as the other ones in the series, but I can't seem to leave that old Devil be; I'm just having a good time with him! I'm really glad to know that you enjoyed it; I was worried that I was the only one who would like it! :D

[keppiehed]

Oooh, I've never heard of a February half-nano, but I wish you the best of luck. I'd love to read what you come up with!

[sadme4b]

I rather like your Devil . . . and Smee . . .

[keppiehed]

OMG, I have been so terrible for not replying to any comments. I am so sorry. Quick version so you take pity and don't hate me: I totaled my car and everyone has a terrible stomach flu. So I haven't forgotten you, it's just been so bad here!

Thank you so much for reading and always having a positive comment. And I hope things are looking up for you. I promise to get back into things as soon as life slows down a little and we will talk soon.

[sadme4b]

OMG! Are you all right? From the accident, I mean.
And with everybody sick, you have your hands full!
*hugs*

[keppiehed]

Yes, I just hit a deer. And my mom came to get the kids while I was waiting and a deer ran into her and broke her door! And the very same night a deer ran into my pal while she was waiting at a stop sign. Can you believe THAT?!

Smee and Satan are such a wonderful couple...err I mean pairing. And you do such a wonderful job with them, comedy but at the same time quite lifelike. Or should that be deathlike? Or afterdeathlike? However it fits, ever so glad to see them again.

[keppiehed]

Well, thank you. I have never thought of myself as having much of a sense of humor, or being very good at comedy, so I am pleased to know that it was okay!

"And I've never understood the sixth level, to be honest with you. It's just kind of weird there. I mean, what's going on in that place? Gives me the creeps, really.”

ROFL Love your Devil. And Smee. :)

[keppiehed]

*laughs* Thank you! They have been growing on me over the last few stories. I keep saying "This is the last one, it really is!" but they won't seem to leave me alone. I'm glad to know you liked it. And it's good to hear from you!

[bluegerl]

Oh my - my friend the Devil again. He is as good as the best tonic! The logicality and illogicality of it! Googlemaps, brisket... and his eyebrow falling off. Oh what a lovely very fallible Lucifer he is.

Smee 'looks' just exactly like Jeeves (Stephen Fry!). (actually there is a hint of the Wodehouse here... just delicious!)

You got my vote again this week! From you, this is SOOOO good to hear!

[one_time_pad]

I hope I'm not the only one who keeps picturing the Devil with a white mess jacket with brass buttons.

[keppiehed]

You are not, sir. :D That is exactly what I had in my mind, too! *laughs*

[keppiehed]

*laughs* It always tickles me pink when I can make you smile. I am always so worried that what sounds clever in my head is going to fall flat on the page! Writing something funny is so much harder than writing something serious! I have never had much sense of humor, so I am always sure people will think it is stupid. Thank you so much for always encouraging me!
