My entry:
Synchronicity describes that afternoon best. Thinking back though, the invisible miasma of stench, which smelled a lot like rotten eggs, should have been a clue.
There were only a few people in the convenient store when I entered. I made a beeline for the cold drinks. A woman patiently waited for two boys to choose a candy bar. Not far from her, a man filled a cup with coffee.
I'm going to make it, I thought as I grabbed a water. I nabbed a container of aspirin next and went to pay.
"Tylenol is better for a headache," a velvety voice said from behind me.
I turned to give the unwelcome commenter an impish grin, but froze instead, realizing then there was an overwhelming lacuna in my plan.
"How did you find me?"
He ositated as if bored. "I've told you, it's my job to know where you are." He added Tylenol to my purchase and handed the cashier a ten. "Really Katerina, I'm not the one you should be afraid of."
"Says the servant of hell. I don't want anything from you."
"You will." His gaze traveled to the exit where Gabriel waited, his angelic features twisted in fury.
