“Husk, Vaggie, Alastor. I have some great news!” Charlie slapped a hand on your exposed spine.
“I’ve found someone who can redeem sinners!” She squealed
“Just by touching them!” She points to the imps who have just entered the luxurious place. In unison all five patrons looked to the small red men.
Your employer looks up to you with eyes dazzling with hope.
“Call him over! Show them the imp!” Charlie is jumping in place like a child trying to contain her excitement.
“Clutch, tell them of your will to change.” Your halo speaks unnerving the cat and girl, Alastor simply watched on with a Cheeto colored smile.
Biker imp listened to your call and strutted between the five of you. His eyes tired, and wracked with an unseen guilt.
“I’m Clutch, and I...realize now, how much I’ve fucked up. I never knew how much I’d lost until the bone man here splashed me with something.” Tears began to well up in their eyes.
“I-I saw things I never wanted to remember. Possibility’s I’d never want to consider. I saw a life with a woman whose head I’d bashed in. I saw myself as a parent.”
The three of them seemed to be intrigued by this they’d never seen an imp sound so regretful.
Charlie watches with delight. As do you.
“And then, I saw where I’d fuck all that up too, I saw her getting a still birth. I saw myself being a deadbeat. I saw myself smothering my only son in the crib.” Clutch continues.
Your eyes suddenly widen, what?
“I felt the cold iron of a bullet tunneling throughout my skull as I emptied my brains in a motel room, over and over again all because I ran her away from me.
I didn’t want to live without her I...I don’t want to live anymore.” Clutch speaks through chocked sobs.
Charlie has both her hands clasped over her mouth to keep her gaping shock hidden. Her hope seems to have shattered.
“That’s....fucked.” Husk spoke the mind of most present.
Charlie turns to you with begging eyes. Shit, you had no idea what to do. How can you salvage this?
