Handsome

Facing him was a young man wearing a navy blue pinstripe suit, a bowler hat and he was drinking a cup of tea. Ray thought how similar the man was to "Ralph Fiennes" who had starred in "The Avengers", the video he had watched the other night with his mother.

The man smiled, the light from the sun briefly glinted off his white teeth, and Ray found this disturbing because it was dark outside.

"How are you Raymond my friend?" said the man.

"I beg your pardon?" said Ray.

The man continued "Come now Ray relax, I am here to make you an offer you cannot possibly refuse".

Ray began to feel uneasy, indeed he thought that waking up would be a good idea. "Who are you?" Ray asked.

"I am your benefactor", said the man. "Call me your Fairy Godmother if you wish".

Ray stared at the man, "Please tell me who you are?"

"Very well", said the man, " My name is Baalzephon and I am Captain of the guard and the Sentinels of Hell.

"Oh", said Ray, "And what exactly does that mean?"

"You do not want to know, but let me make this as simple as I can, I work for the Master".

"The Master?" said Ray.

"Yes the Master, you know him as Satan, Dark Angel, The Devil, Beelzebub," Baalzephon started laughing, "Shall I go on Ray?" he said.

"No I think that you have said enough and frankly I want to leave now and wake up in my bed," said Ray.

"Would you like a cup of tea?" said Baalzephon, "You look a little pale".

"No I do not want a cup of tea, I hate tea. I want to leave here", said Ray

Baalzephon spoke again, "That is not going to happen until we have completed our little conversation, you see Ray I am going to offer you everything that you have always dreamed of".

"What do you mean?" said Ray.

"I will make you especially good looking, ensure that you have money and want for nothing. You and your mother will live like Royalty", Baalzephon smiled.

Ray's unease left him. "Really", he said. " So this is a dream and you are offering me something that will rid me of all my problems in life?"

"Yes", said Baalzephon.

"Well it's ok by me if it's ok by you". Ray was getting cocky and beginning to enjoy this situation.

"Ah but Ray, what will you do for me?" said Baalzephon.

"What do you want?" replied Ray.

"That's easy, I want your Uncle Thomas's heart sitting on a silver platter in front of me, bloody and still beating", said Baalzephon.

"But Uncle Thomas is a cruel and heartless man, is that not what you generally prefer here in hell?" said Ray.

"Yes Raymond, there is no pulling the wool over your eyes, your uncle is a good disciple of evil, but he has broken a tryst with us and as such I must have his soul and you must give it to me as just reward what I can give you". "Do you accept?"
