I would again like to acknowledge my best friend and wife, Cathy, for all her support and input into my book. She contributes great ideas, and encourages me to show evil for how ugly it really is.
Finally, thank you to all the people who had input into my writing: Jeff Gerke for his writing tips and book cover; The Word Weavers group in Tampa, Florida, various writers who have influenced me, including Kat Heckenbach, who told me not to let Poisonous wimp out, but be evil for a while.
Disclaimer: I do not support the idea that fallen angels can be redeemed, nor do angels of light need to be redeemed. This book is a work of fiction, and should be taken that way.

“All human flesh must burn painfully in Hell forever! Make sure that you feed them the lies and deceptions that will lead them to share our misery. He loves them, and I hate them. They should know what agony and hopelessness feel like.”
Lucifer stood on his dais, looking very much like the owner of a large company, dressed in an expensive business suit, tie, shoes and accessories. Of course, underneath the business suit, Lucifer looked as decayed as the gathered demons. His eyes burned fiery red as they swept across the audience, casting fear into all of them. The gathered demons represented the rank and file of Hell. All were twisted versions of the angels of light, whose evil hearts had made them rot into their current condition. Even the very air reeked of decay. Dark heaviness covered the entire realm.
Lucifer continued, “Anyone caught fraternizing with them or being influenced by them will be thrown into Hell immediately. I’ve heard rumors that some of you have been doing exactly this. Trust me, you will be found out, and punishment will be executed immediately; no excuses, no exceptions.”
Poisonous represented the Lust Nymphs, who corrupted men’s hearts, and made them trade true love for unrestrained lust. The tentacles on her head, as well as the razor-sharp nails on her hands and feet injected any of various poisons into her victims. The tentacles’ primary purpose, however, was to inject lust into her victims. At first glance, Poisonous appeared to be an attractive young woman. Underneath her slithering tentacles, smooth gray-green flesh with occasional red designs interspersed throughout her body like tattoos, while gray-green eyes took in the cosmos around her.
Lucifer’s words and his baleful stare made Poisonous shudder. Lucifer never said anything in jest: humor did not enter into his personality. The words spoken had the same intent and meaning as in previous iterations, though not always the same verbiage. She trembled as she remembered herself and her partner—Virtue Destroyer—dealing with Evie and Gracie Chen, and how Lady Ruache seemed to be working on their hearts. They both had even shown weakness and cried. At least she had always avoided the influence of the Light, and continued with perpetrating evil. VD, on the other hand, had become increasingly enamored with doing things motivated by good will. She had even mentioned to Evie Chen, a former angel and one of their mutual victims that she was glad Evie had found salvation. She had gushed about being happy to have had conversations with Lady Ruache, the Holy Spirit of God, and had the audacity to say that she might like to know redemption herself. Well, that was then, and now she resolutely felt it was time to change tactics. VD was on her own. She didn’t need to be influenced by such a traitorous demon.
She knew exactly what Lucifer meant in his speech, and that he would make good on his threats, but she didn’t care. “Yes; I hear you, Lucifer, ya blowhard. However, I need some excitement; some deviation from the same old tired routine. It’s time to make a change. I’m heading down to Earth to make human lives miserable.”
Having heard her ruler continue to drone on endlessly, she tuned him out. The mission never changed, so hearing it again would gain her nothing. Instead, she sat in her chasm-like cave, restlessly pacing the floor. Her tentacles reached for a drinking cup, while another of her tentacles reached for the container of powerful liquid, much stronger than alcohol. Being thirsty, she took in the whole
