thumbing through the back pages
fiction
edward w pritchard
Backward drives the Devil, fast very fast, as he intimately leans towards you and conversationally reviews the scenes and props of your back pages driving you back in time across your vanished life.
What a salesman that Devil is; he knows it all and he spins your story positively with flair and panache as he swings you a brief tale of your forgotten days of yore.
Down and through crowded alleys of your back pages the Devil skillfully backs the powerful vehicle back across your forgiven life. With a running commentary Brother Lucifer chats and chatters as he offers you a cold beer and regales you with your mundane story. The Devil never runs down a child on a bike driving too fast backwards and he never scratches his speeding car as he and you careens along.
Backward races the Devil thumbing through the back pages of your forgotten life.
