                Short Story, Flash Fiction, Dark Fantasy

 He sat there ridiculing me. Cursing me by his shallow standards. I had never met a more 

empty man. Then the man in my life that was called father. I never knew him as a father. He spent his 

entire life hiding from his own. Running like a demon. laying in his own misery. He was destined to be 

the tormented. Him, and my mother. Yet now he has chosen to see me as the outcast in his nightmarish 

destiny. They all are capable of only one thing, and that is hate. But I will defeat them. I will defeat the 

demons that created me. I will walk the line of the forgotten warrior, and I will rise above there selfish 

way of living, and when they ask me why I did this. I will respond with because I chose to. My name is

Charlie Crown, and this is who I am.

I stood in front of them. Standing outside of there house. with a dark grin on my face. Telling them for 

the last time goodbye. As they walked back into there house cursing my name every other word I 

jumped on my motorcycle, and road off into the void of nothingness that was life itself as there house 

with them went up in flames. I had been through enough of there evil bullshit, and as I saw my destiny 

moving forward. I knew that they got what was coming to them, and that I would not regret one 

moment of them not being in my life. I was free finally I was free.

I spent the next six years building my business into a finely tuned money making machine. I was doing 

well. Until one night I got a visit from an angel. He told me that I was damned, and that I had no choice

in the matter. That was when I took my pistol put it in my mouth, and pulled the trigger. It was after I 

did this that the devil met me at the gates of hell, and told me he was not going to let me in. Instead he 

would use me as a weapon of destruction. In ways that couldn’t be imagined by the human mind. Then 

he sent me back as a demon. To create chaos in the worst way possible. But instead of doing his dirty 

work I did the opposite, and used the power that he gave me to tare his kingdom of darkness to the 

ground.

As I watched the devils world burn into non existence The Arc Angel Micheal visited me, and released 

me of my damnation. It was then I was given angel wings, and recruited to fight against the kingdom of

hell for the rest of eternity. I had been the opposite of my family in my lifetime, and now in my after 

life I have played the opposite side of an agent of chaos. Only to finally join my rightful place in 

eternity. As an anointed protector of humanity forever. I had truly became the demon in order to defeat 

my inner demons, and join the army of the light for god himself. My destiny was finally fulfilled. I was

finally happy, and at peace forever.
