The God Killers

“Katie?”
“I’m so sorry, Han! I’m so sorry! It wasn’t me. He had control over me,” she explained as she rushed to Han but stopped short of embracing him. She placed her arms lightly on him to keep from hurting his broken arms. “I am so sorry about that,” she said.
“I can’t fucking believe this,” Han said as he sank to his knees.
“You can believe it, little brother. I’m real.”
“And so are we,” Father Hurley said as he and Cipher stepped out of the cathedral together.
“Cipher! You did it!” Natalie shouted as she ran over to him and embraced him. “You killed God!”
“It appears that Nietzsche is finally right,” Father Hurley observed. “God...is dead.”
“And you’re not dead, Cipher,” Satan observed, surprised.
“What? You’re alive?” Natalie said, astonished as she touched Cipher’s clothing. “Your body wasn’t destroyed in the wormhole?”
“No. Only my soul passed through. Father Hurley guided me back,” Cipher said with a smile.
“I missed you, you old bastard,” Han said. “I’d hug you but my sister broke my arms.”
“So I’ll hug you instead!” Natalie said with glee as she wrapped her arms around Father Hurley.
“I’ve been dead for less than an hour. How could you miss me so much?”
“So, uh...what do we do now?” Cipher asked Satan. “We’re still wanted.”
“I think the authorities are going to be far too distracted to focus much attention on you—at least for a while. I suggest that you just go and live your lives. If the authorities ever try to take you in, resist them...and if you ever need my help, I won’t be far away.”
Cipher embraced Satan. “We owe all of this to you.”
“No. You owe everything in your lives to yourselves,” Satan corrected. “You were right to place your belief where it belonged.”

Thank you so much for reading, you awesome reader, you!
AND PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP...
If you desire some more quality fiction from indie-writers like me, it would help a whole heck of a lot if you could leave a review on Amazon! For indie-writers, reviews are our best shot at succeeding and they directly impact the sales performance of our novels (which dictates whether we can afford to keep writing full time!) Even a super short review counts and it makes it possible for me to carve out a career despite the low prices of my editions. Helping an indie writer that you enjoy also helps the indie community as a whole and shows Amazon that they should continue to support us and not abandon us in favor of the more expensive (and profitable) publisher books...so basically, you're helping stick it to the man! And it's always fun to be part of a revolution! Admit it :)
BETA READING!!!
If you'd like to be one of my beta readers for any of my future novels and receive free copies in advance of anyone else (other than my other beta readers, of course) in return for giving me your feedback, then just email here:
posthumanmedia@gmail.com
You'll get the books for free in a raw form, after they've gone through the editorial process with my editor (and me too) but before they go up on Amazon, which means there's a very real chance that I'll actually modify the books based on your feedback! So you get to be part of not only reading, but also creating the books! How cool is that?
