My
head started pounding and my heart began to race. The doorbell rang
and I hesitantly stood up, watching the front door. I began hearing
white noise inside my head; the doorbell rang again. Stumbling
forward, I fumbled with the doorknob, forgetting how to work the
simplest of simple machines. The white noise grew louder and my
desperation along with it. The door opened there was silence. She
stood before me.
"The bane of existence, I try my best to best
to be polite, so I should say that it's nice to see you again, but
that would be a lie," she said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Glorififcus," I acknowledged her.
"Just call me
Glory."
At 5'11, with curvaceous hips and a chest to put many
to shame, she was a formidable opponent. Her stiletto heels
accentuated her long legs jutting out of her overcoat, tailored to
cling to her sides, showing off her narrow waist. Her brown hair was
cut and styled short, almost boyish, which framed her eyes; they were
brown with a heat in their gaze, ever scrutinizing.
"So what
brings the Cosmic Whore to my doorstep? I remarked. Her eyes
narrowed.
"I've come to deliver a prophecy." She replied
boastfully.
"Oh," I sighed, leaning against the doorframe,
waiting for her to continue. We exchanged a few funny looks over a
moment of silence.
"Well, aren't you interested?" Glory
demanded.
"No, not really." Her face contracted this hateful
look. "That's not a good look for you, you know. It's a wonder
your face hasn't gotten stuck like that over the millenniums." I
said, smirking.
