STORY #78

The Waiting Room

Mark sat, staring at the nondescript beige walls. He’d been sitting for an eternity, waiting--for what, he couldn’t remember , but somehow felt it was important, so he lingered, bored beyond endurance. Finally, he sprang up and pounded on the stainless steel door--which oddly, seemed warm to the touch.

A man in a black tux answered. “Yes?” He asked, in a snarky tone. “I am not waiting any more!” Mark shouted. “Go to Hell,” the man grumbled, opening the door wide--Mark stepped through, and suddenly found himself staring into the eyes of a great beast--Satan himself.
