Good Omens: The Ugly and Untrustworthy Predictions of Anathema Device, Witch

by B_E_Lindstorm

Summary:

“No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14

It has been years since Armagge-didn’t. Aziraphale and Crowley have been enjoying their retirement on the English coastal countryside. When Anathema Device begins to have visions of a figure trapped in a tomb of sand, the angel and demon duo uncover a plot that has been 2,000 years in the making.

Chapter 1: COVER

Chapter 2: 2,000 Years Ago…

1 Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth.
2 This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
5 in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child.
6 While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth.
7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened.
10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;
11 for today in the city of David there has been bought for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 "I am your true savior. I know everything about that makes you human. I know what you love. I know what you dread."
13 But suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14 "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased."
15 When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, "Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and speak of this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us."
16 So they came in a hurry and found their way to REDACTED and REDACTED, and the REDACTED as REDACTED lay in the REDACTED.
17 When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about the angel.
18 And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But the angel watched from the heavens, “Can you not see? I have deceived you. Such weak minds.”
20 The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.

Chapter 3: Predictions of Anathema Device, Witch

How frozen I became and powerless then, Ask it not, witch, for I speak it not, Because all language would be insufficient. I did not die, and I alive remained not. Think for thyself now, hast though ought of wit, What I became, being of both deprived.

I am bound to my chains on my ankles that grow heavier with every step, the infinite amount of sand will be my tomb, and my foolishness will be my legacy. if there is still a God, please help me.
