Author's Note: These drabbles were orginally written for a drabble challenge over at the silasadore Livejournal community. There were 15 one-word prompts listed, and I'm planning on writing a drabble for each of them, so if you enjoy these, be sure to check for updates.
Also, I feel it necessary to note that, contrary to my usual obsessively strict adherence to drabble conventions, the vast majority of these works are more than 100 words. But they are still short, so I'm going to call them all drabbles anyway.
Finally, it would behoove you, the reader, to review these little stories. The more ego-stroking I receive, the more I write. And the more I write, the more you get to read. See, reviews make everyone happy!

Instead he sank down upon the pew behind him, head in hands. He should have seen this coming.
Every angel the Lord sent him turned out to be a devil in disguise.
