As I said at the onset of this series, the story was inspired by Black Sabbath’s new song: The Devil Cried.
I love the song and i felt compelled to write my version of it in a short story.

I hope some of you enjoyed it as much as i enjoyed going through Laurence’s journey.

But i wanted to post the lyrics to the song here to show those of you who aren’t Sabbath fans like me.

One fine day in Hell
The master told a story
Someone lied so well
He sent him back to Glory

There are whispers between the screams
That this deed can be done
Even sinners must dream
And I can be the one to make the Devil cry

I can win this game
If all things come together
I know this sounds quite strange
I won’t be smart, just clever

It’s the law on the other side
Just a tear lets you run
And how many have tried?
I know I’ll be the one to make the Devil cry

At last my time has come
I must not give him pleasure
I can be the one
One chance or burn forever

So I told him about my pain
And the life I’ve been through
He just smiled and the laughter came
Then I told him that I love you, and the Devil cried.
