IN DUE TIME
Ugly gray gravel was kicked up into his face once again,"I'll get you for that, kid." Gabe snared in a deadly soft voice . He slowly stomp his way over to the laughing young boy, a cruel sneer on his hideous face. He pulled his shirt sleeves up to reveal flabby not-so muscled arms that he was so clearly proud of. He formed two fists, thumbs tucked into his curled fingers and wrists bent at a 90 degree angle like a lunatic. He started circling his arms in a sort of waving motion. "You wanna a piece of this huh, kid?" He said jumping up and down; creeping forward a pace that would make a snail chuckle.
"Gabriel Ugilano, please step towards judging booth." Gabe stopped dead in his two inch long tracks.
"What the hell?" He curse as a grinning skeleton clad in marine garb stepped up behind him and motioned towards a large tent. Gabe stared at him as he walked toward it; his mouth open slightly, head turning more toward the ghoul with each step he took. His eyes scanned the area as he entered.
Bleachers were set facing toward a sort of table; like the ones that you would see in a courthouse. They were full of people, cheering, screaming, crying, laughing. At the 'courthouse' table a tall thin man in a..toga? Was sitting on one side of a large throne, which looked to be made out of ribs. On the other side sat a large, smiling man, patting his stomach as though he'd just finished a meal...from the looks of him maybe an ox. On the throne itself sat a teenager with raven black hair, hazel brown-golden eyes, and pale skin. Truthfully, the kid seemed as if he'd never seen the sun before. This was just to weird for Gabe's tiny mind to comprehend.
"So, let the judging being!" The kid said boldly, but looked quite bored. The judges started to debate among themselves.
"We should..." Started the large man, his voice fading to a whisper.
"No, no, that's too merciful." The thin man snickered, a menacing smile gracing his lips.
"Shut up, Minos." The heavier man retorted sharply.
"I will have you..." Minos said rising.
"And again, Shut the hell up, Minos." The big man said, attempting to push himself out his seat as well.
"Hen..."
"Minos, Henry, please, I have made a decision." The teenager interrupted. Growling could be heard as the two returned to their chairs, and the teenager sat up straight. "We have decided, you will be placed in the Fields of Torture. Your punishment..."
"Alright Mister, who appointed you as King of the Universe!" Gabe snapped. The boy laughed softly, and everyone stared at him in awe.
"Did he just laugh?" They whispered.
"No way!"One shouted.
Finally, the boy replied,"I'm not king of the universe, only the Underworld, but thank you." He smiled in a good-natured manner, and continued his 'judgment'.
"Gabe will be appointed in the Fields of Punishment to go through school, which he dropped out of in 3rd grade. I believe I speak for all of us when I say, good luck, and now, I, Hades, have announced my judgment." A wooden hammer rammed down against the table of the men sitting behind him, and he was lead to a door on the other side of the room.
The last thing Gabe said before he left went something like this,
"Huh...No, wait, wait, you are not Hades. He woulda' have sent me to Tartar sauce!" Hades raised his eyebrow,
"In due time."
