Who's in charge? I'm in charge!

If hell was bent,
then it could be broken.

Moses! Where did you put my oxy torch?

I gave it to Thor.
I didn't need it
to part the sea.

Oh! So Thor's playing with it, is he now!
Hell hath no fury!

Moses! Have you seen my matches?

Yes! The devil borrowed them.

Wanna a light? says the devil.

So! You're the chosen one?
Igniten me!

Not today! I'm having a barbeque.

Thank you for reading Jacob and for your review.

[Tony Jordan]

witty and so evocative
I could see the whole thing play out
Love that Lucifer (whose name means light bringer) has the matches
The barbecue - is that the Aussies version of the Rapture ?

[andrew mitchell]

hahahaha yes the barbecue a sacred icon on which one plays music the sizzling of the sausage the burning of the stake (steak) all sacrifices for degustation as is aussie rules football another sacred gem while eating, drinking beer! Thanks Tony lol
