“That’s right,” said Satan, laughing. “And look at you now. Don’t get too comfortable. Hell’s about to relocate.”
“Awesome,” said Tim, pumping his fist.
“Well this will be quite the treat,” said Pestilence, showing his cracked yellow and brown teeth.
Satan stood up and held his arms out to his side. “Put on your party pants tonight, boys and…lovely girl. We’re breaking open the fifty year old port and getting hammered.”
“I fancy a good glass of port,” said War.
“I can find that chick I met when I went shopping with you, Death,” said Famine, bobbing his gaunt face up and down on his long skinny neck.
“That’s right, my friends,” said Satan. “Let’s have some fun tonight. Tomorrow, it’ll be Hell on earth.”
