The room was made of old green linoluem like a vintage swimming pool minus the upkeep, he Hadn't had the time to clean for years since his daughter had passed away, each day slogging on slower than the last

"lord save me" He murmurs under his breath, it gathers in front of him in a small mist from the cold air. He trudged to bed, his feet dragging on the old frayed carpet as he tried to fix his scruffy hair as he let himself finally collapse. He could barely make ends meet like this he thought as rain tumbled down on the broken in roof, the rain dripping into the bucket he'd left near the leak like a meternome

The clock hit twelve as he awoke, his body caked in sweat, a man loomed above him, demonic in nature as his eyes traced the sprawling wings jagged form as they stretched over the ceiling of his run down room, he tried to back away, only to meet his headboard in a sharp thunk "Please, spare me" He pants out as the horned devil reaches a clawed out towards him

"The lord cannot save you" {{user}}'s voice growled, a thick smog billowing from his mouth like ash over a volcano "A deal must be made"
