The Devil

There's a devil standing outside my door I saw the shadow of his feet pacing outside the door. Waiting. Calculating. How would he get to his prey? The clumping of his steel toed boots might as well have been gun shots firing, all aimed at my head. All of my knocking at death's door and staring death in the face had been in vain. So much for living life to the fullest. The pounding of his feet halted. Moments later the door busted off its hinges. Fire tried to consume my entire being. He stepped towards me, fire surrounding him. He looked at me his eyes the color of midnight. I  would not scream. My life was over I thought as he dragged me into the hungry flames. The words 'Game Over' flashed on the screen and I threw my controller down with a curse.

"I can never beat the last boss of this stupid video game!" I shouted rolling my eyes.
