Lucifer was conspicuous only by his absence today. There was no spectacle on the 6th of the 6th of the 6th, no omen of impending fire nor even the slightest whiff of a serendipitous calamity. I don't think anyone so much as tripped over. There was that boy born with three arms, though. Maybe I'm spoilt, but I was expecting something a little more impressive than a mediaeval carnival sideshow. Is that it? What else is there? Mass death by hayfever? If the Devil truly exists then surely he couldn't resist a grand entrance.

One is coming. One is coming.
