Satan's Wife

Satan’s Wife/You’ve been Naughty

By Caroline E. Groves

She arrives without warning. You want to run, but your feet and legs won’t move. She stares 
at you with red eyes that seem to pierce into your soul, snaggly teeth being revealed when she 
gives you the wicked grin. Pointy ears pop out of her head, orange and red drool come spilling out 
her mouth. It’s the Kiss of Death. More fangs come out and scales of deep dark read appear on 
her skin. You finally able to run as fast as you can. Leaves and tree branches scrape you as you 
reach a briar patch. There is no other option than to run through it. Thorns poke at your skin and 
blood oozes out, seeming to be a pure black color. When you leave the briar patch, she is still 
behind you. You keep running, but you trip on a log and fall into a deep blue colored pool of water. 
The liquid makes your cuts sting as you swim and swim until you are almost out of breath. You 
can’t move anymore despite your efforts and finally... she catches you, feeding off your ink black 
blood until you run out of prayers. You close your eyes and when you open them you come face to 
face with the Kings and Queens of hell.
