[4] An Air Humidifier

After eighty-five years of pointedly avoiding the affairs between Heaven and Hell, the last thing Atticus expected was to find himself standing alone and face-to-face with Lucifer.

Of all the angels and demons across all four realms, why did it have to be Atticus? What made him even the slightest bit worthy of being in this particular place? At this particular time?? With this particular deity??? Why?!? Why couldn't it have been someone a whole lot braver? Like Bentley? Or ANYONE else other than him? He was already trembling in fear and the former bellhop had hardly even said anything yet.

However, no matter how terrified he was, the angel couldn't run away. Not only because he had no idea how he would physically be able to escape if he tried, but also because he was already involved in the whole mess. He couldn't just take off. And he definitely couldn't leave Bentley —wherever she was— so the only choice was to stick around and face off with Lucifer himself.
