CHAPTER 16

IT WAS HORRIBLE. They were awful. A half-breed demon turned out to be far worse than a demon in its natural state, and much more dangerous. A regular garden-variety demon, as all of us were, had limitations when it came to our ability to interact with humans. We who were part of the fall could create circumstances that would cause humans to do terrible things to each other, but we ourselves could not actually touch any of them.

God left a gaping hole in security when He failed to anticipate that the faithful angels might at some point rebel, because He neglected to place the same prohibi-tion on them.

I suppose it never crossed God's mind that His elite force might think to be anything but helpful to mankind.

They would never have dared be any other way to this new life form God seemed to favor so much. That is surely the reason God's wrath was unleashed upon them so ferociously. They weren't condemned to a fallen state in second heaven as we were. Much worse, they were judged right there on the spot and thrown down to the dreaded Tartaroo. Let me tell you, our punishment had been but a swat on the backside compared to their complete banishment.

It seemed that Satan had won in that regard as well.

The faithful elite guard who failed to follow him in the cosmic rebellion ended up being caught in yet another of his webs of deception. Satan's revenge on the heavenly host was now satisfied.

I don't know why, but it was unsettling to me that God had not anticipated something like the Nephilim.

As a result, they carried a human gene, and it gave them legal access to afflict humans directly. No seduction, clever ruses, or half-truths were necessary. If a Nephilim wanted to devour a human, it just took one.

Satan wanted to throw a party to celebrate his triumph over heaven and Earth, so he released upon the Nephilim all of the spirits of lust he had held in captivity. They went wild. The demons in second heaven danced around, vicariously participating in the revelry and gloating as if they held some great victory in their hands. I really wanted to join in. It gets tiresome being the only one who sees the cloud behind every silver lining. I couldn't get in the mood when I knew the celebrating was premature.

How could they have forgotten what God was like?

Maybe I should have tried to warn them again.

"Better yet," I said to myself, "maybe not."

After all, I was still feeling the beating I had endured at their claws when I tried to reason with them before, only to be left hanging upside down over the abyss for my trouble. My equilibrium had not righted itself either, and I was fearful of tipping over and giving them something else to ridicule. I picked up my injured tail and slunk off to find a place to lie down.

"Fools," I was tempted to shout at the reveling demons.
