Tales from the Pit

By Lord Caine

If one can determine the zeitgeist of a nation by the submissions of the authors to speculative fiction magazines… boy are you guys depressed. The general tone of the latest batch of stories was one of fear, uncertaintiy and doubt. Oh yes and there were a lot of concerns about big brother. Guess I’m not the only that noticed that the Patriot Act took away more freedoms from your average Joe then your average terrorist. But what do I know? I’m the first Regent of hell. We’re not big on freedom down here anyway. Be sure to check out Mummy of the State to see what I’m talking about.

Boy are we having some fun with the American public down here in hell. Guess where all those WMD’s are! Hah! We’ve been letting the lesser demons play with them and it’s a tossup. The green goulies love the biological based weapons, but the amorphous soul stealers prefer the chemical kind. Unfortunately Hussain didn’t have any nukes because we were really looking forward to some far out fireworks.

We hear you’re having an election this year. If you think we’re political down here we’re not. Why you ask? Obviously we would only vote for those candidates who’ve sold their soul to us. That means everyone of them would get our vote!

Hey be sure to share the love in this coming political season. Send our link to your friends, family and favorite candidate. They just got to read something more than the polls...
