“You know that chap. Lenny. He’s got a telephone.
Like those ones your mam and pap had. Only older. Real old.
An’ it’s special. Connects ‘upstairs’. You know.
Angel HQ.
He’s got their ear.
He could use it to start the Apocalypse. Then end it. Reverse that ‘Climate Change’ whatsit.
Feed the starving. Home the homeless. Help the helpless. Just like that vampire with a soul. Buffy’s ex.
‘Angel’. That’s the one.
And what does he do?
Uses it to order pizza from that place down the street.
Some people don’t deserve a Hotline to Heaven.
Just sayin’.
Mine’s a pint.”

Brilliant take on the prompt and some nice popular culture references too (I loved Angel). Wonder what I’d do with an Angel hotline…

Very neat and imaginative. I particularly like “Home the homeless. Help the helpless.” Sounds just like the conversation one has in the pub after a few pints. Speaking of which, the last line’s pretty funny too!

I have a feeling he earns his pints via stories! I’m glad you liked it 🙂

He can call Heaven, but can he take a picture with it? Surf the internet?

I’m afraid it’s only good for ordering pizzas and influencing world events. Which means no self-respecting nuder-40 would be interested.
