"...... Is anybody here? God? .... Grandma! ... Are you here? Can you hear me?
Grandma, do you remember when I was little and we were playing and singing at your house? Seems like so long ago ... almost as it never happened. "
- Ouch! Goddammit!
There I was daydreaming again. Third time this week. This time it caught me while I was pouring myself a cup of tea so hot water was spilling all over my hands and furniture.
- Fuck!
Ring! Ring!
- Hello!
- Hello, sweetie! So happy to hear you! Long time no see!
- Oh! Hi, Satan! What´s up?
- You know, I´ve been dreaming about you two times this week. I guess that must mean I miss you, right?
- What were you dreaming about?
- On Tuesday I dreamed that I was coming to your house, you opened the door for me and you were an old woman, but Milo was a baby. It was so weird. Then I entered your house, but it was like I was entering the void. I turned around to figure out what was going on and when I turned my head back at you you were a kid and I was asking you " Where is Milo?" and you said " Milo who?" and you were shrinking and shrinking and ...
- Ok, I got the idea. And the other one?
- Oh, we were just having sex.
- Oh, I don´t know which one is better.
- The second one, of course. Sex is better than most things.
- I don´t know about that.
- Yes, you do. Listen, how about a coffee?
- Sure. Pick me up in 30?
- Righto!
...............................................................................30 minutes later ..............................................................
Ding-Dong!
I opened the door and there he was with his large smile!
- Love! I´m so happy to see you!
- Me too, sweetness!
- Where shall we go?
- How about a walk in the Enchanted Forest? We buy some snacks and drinks and we hang out there with the trees and animals.
- Great! Let´s go!
We stopped by the grocery store and got ourselves a big bag of M&M´s and two coffees to go.
- Oh Wow! This coffee is truly horrible. Who makes this shit?!
Said Satan indignantly. Satan really appreciates a good coffee, you know. We used to take walks together in Italy just for the sake of a good coffee. This incident really spoiled a lot of Satan´s good mood for the day.
- You know what? I am not even going to drink this.
Said he while throwing it in the garbage bin.Then continued.
- And you shouldn´t either. The fact that people compromise and drink this rubbish makes them keep selling it.
- Ok, Satan.
Said I while sipping my coffee.
- Do you like it?
- Not particularly.
- Then why are you drinking it?
- C´mon, dude, we just bought some coffee to go and some stupid M&M´s. Those are not going to be the best gourmet chocolate either. Cheap colored little thrills. Relax!
- I never relax.
- Too bad.
Slowly we entered the Enchanted Forest through the Portal of Happiness.
- So, said Satan, are you going to tell me why you didn´t say anything all this time?
- Dear, I didn´t really have anything TO say. Everything was so confusing and this Universe has this habit to contradict me each time I affirm something that I got almost afraid of saying anything at all. I managed to abstain from all vices which is nice. I created others though, but those ones at least are rewarding. I can´t relax either, you know? Sometimes this can be quite a bummer. Only in my dreams I am relaxed. That´s why I am daydreaming more and more lately. I am slightly on the edge I guess.
- What are you dreaming about?
- Been dreaming a lot about my grandparents lately and since I am abstaining from any kind of sexual activity I´ve dreaming about my exes a lot. Particularly one.
- A good or a bad ex?
- Bad, of course.
- That sucks!
- I know!
- Why are you abstaining from sex?
- Because I declared war to all demons (except you). Especially to Romance demons. They are the worst and most difficult to conquer. All the others were easy peasy, but these ones .... God, help me!
- Yeah, I can´t help you with that, is true. Hey! These peanut M&M´s are really yummy! I forgot how good they are.
- Yeah, right? Each one is a little piece of happiness.
- Indeed!
- So, anyway, what have you been doing?
- Well, same same as always. Taking the blame for everything. I´m getting pissed off. I am holding on the best that I can, but if they don´t give me a break I´ll give them something to complain about. That´s the problem when you are so powerful, responsibility constrains you to take everybody´s shit because one impulsive move ... even the tiniest, would mean a disaster. So there I am, taking all the punches, all the screams, blames, curses, everybody´s shit energy just because they can´t take it themselves. Such a terrible job.
- You sound a bit on the edge as well.
- A bit? It´s only my pinky finger holding me to the edge, my dear. A nail, a thought.
- M&M?
- Yes, thanks!
- Are you cold?
- A bit.
- Here, my coat is huge. We can share it.
We sat down and snuggled into each other.
- That´s so cozy. (Said Satan) Yum yum.
- Look up. It is the last full moon of this year, love. And the longest.Shall we stay here and see it?
- Yes.
- Until the end?
- Yes.
- M&M?
- Yes.
I love full moons. Always did. As I was looking at it with that huge smile on my face, I felt the cold wind cutting my face several times and then darkness, a float and a moment of silence.
- God?! Grandma?! Are you here?
- The End-
