FF – Prayers to the Dark Lord
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. The photo was contributed by Randy Mazie.
Since it’s a reboot photo from July 2013 I was going to just rewrite my story from last time but it appears I joined the FF crew in August 2013. So thinking cap on!

“Consult the Satanists’ Handbook. Midnight?”
“Check.”
“Graveyard?”
“Check.”
“Goat?”
Bleat.
“Check.”
“Ceremonial Dagger of the Night Mother?”
“Check. What’s next… chant prayer to Dark Lord, use ceremonial dagger, have goat for dinner.”
Bleeeeat.
“Hand me the dagger.”
Bleeeeeeeeeeeat!
Twenty minutes later…
“Seems weird using a ceremonial dagger to make sandwiches. More mayo?”
“Please.”
“Never had a goat over for dinner either. More sandwich, goat?”
Bleat!
“I can’t help thinking we’re doing this wrong.”
“Yeah. I always thought Satanism would involve more blood. Like a sacrifice or… oh.”
Bleeeat?
“Hey ho, it should have been more explicit, crappy instructions. Pass the salt.”
Never trust that kind of job to amateurs

Well, in response to another comment I just discovered that “goat yoga” is a real thing and in the pictures I saw the goat was standing on a person’s back, so maybe the billy gets to the do the footing!

If they get a second chance, “Run goat, run!” If Satan is recruiting them as helpers, his standards have slipped.
