Short Story Sunday: Politics as Usual (a beautiful summer day)

Skyer adjusted his tie and never even thought about the triple digit heat outside. Afterall, he was used to the heat. That was one of the advantages of being a Demon.

The face he’d put on today was good looking, but not too good looking. He was going for comfortable and trust inducing. The political season was ramping up and Skyler had some ears to whisper into, and some egos to stroke and manipulate. 

You want to stay in office until you’re 95? Talk to Skyler. Do you want to do nothing and keep raising in the political world? Talk to Skyler. Do you want to legally hurt people? Talk to Skyler. Do you want to be the center of attention? Talk to Skyler. Do you want your income to go up 1,000% with anyone finding out? Talk to Skyler. Do you want to secretly wear that tinfoil hat and still win an election? Talk to Skyler.

Keys. Phone. Wallet. A granola bar just in case. Water bottle. And the last thing he did before he left the house was check the mirror and change his eyes from solid blood red with nice yellow pupals, to a lovely glacier blue. 

Oh it was going to be a beautiful summer day.
