Myla
Noo ne noo. Noo ne noo. Nothing to see here.
I sashay along a cracked sidewalk. The sky threatens rain, which is typical for Purgatory. All around me, empty storefronts look out over the deserted street. My destination for today is a little place around the corner. My mouth waters as I consider the yum that awaits me.
La Ghoule Bakery, aka the only spot in Purgatory that sells freshly-made frosted snickerdoodles.
And today, I shall get those snickerdoodles in my tummy.
I’m not supposed to be anywhere near this bakery—long story--so I’m wearing a disguise. Pausing before one of the many darkened windows, I check out my reflection. My red hair is hidden under a long blonde wig and floppy hat. My brown eyes are concealed by massive sunglasses. Even my tail is in costume. Namely, I’ve attached a pair of googly eyes to my tail’s arrowhead-shaped end.
The rest of my outfit is gray sweats with a matching T-shirt and raggedy sneakers, which is the standard outfit required for all quasi demons. All in all, I look great.
My tail shivers, a movement that makes its googly eyes roll around. My tail happens to have a mind of its own. Shivering is a dead giveaway.
“You’re worried.”
My tail bobs up and down. Yes.
“Hey, I get why you’re riding the anxious train to worry town. The chick who runs La Ghoule
Bakery happens to have a live-in boyfriend that isn’t totally cool.” I make my eek face as I say the words, totally cool.
In reply, my tail tilts its arrowhead-shaped end up ninety degrees and slides back and forth in a pretty good imitation of a certain aquatic predator.
“Yes, the baker’s boyfriend is Sharkie.”
I fight evil souls in Purgatory’s arena. Sharkie is both a ghoul and the emcee for these death matches. We have a healthy hate-hate relationship.
“But as you can see, we’re both disguised.”
My tail loops the arrowhead end around my ear. You’re nuts.
“It’s not the greatest disguise, but it’s good enough for Sharkie. Probably.” My stomach growls.
“Hey, a growing girl has needs.”
