So, now that it's October, is Crowley awake yet???
If you can call it waking. I think heâs up enough to phone Aziraphale and ask if itâs all over yet? I do not think Aziraphaleâs answer about how we arenât actually in the official second lockdown yet, or the tone of voice in which it is delivered, followed by Aziraphaleâs helpful explanations about the Rule of Six, Household Mixing, or pub opening times, did much to get Crowley out of bed. And heâd put down the phone with a sigh.
If this were the old days, Crowley probably thought, Iâd have a commendation for the masks by now. A small, uncomfortable thing that human beings can do to keep other people and themselves safer, turned into a giant politicised shouty mess. Brilliant. Probably Iâd have a plaque. But of course, they donât need demons to come up with stuff like that. Hell is empty. All the demons are here...
And then, just a small, snakey snore.
