I like most of this story. Just not crazy about extra-terrestrial, sorry. This could all be written in straight, actual human form. Just one spag. when you breath(e)

Thank you for the wonderful review and generous stars. Angels and demons are all over the scriptures, in the old and new testament. Satan appears early on in Genesis, in the Garden of Eden as the tempter, and to test Job.
The Pharisees disparage Jesus by saying he casts out demons by the authority of "the ruler of demons, Beelzebub." (Mt 9:34; Mk 3:22, Lk 11:15).
Jesus refers to "the ruler of this world" as someone who has nothing to do with him or God. (Jn 12:31; 14:30; 16:11)
Jesus prophesies that "the powers of heaven will be shaken" when he returns again. (Mt 24:29; Mk 13:25; Lk 21:26)
Paul tells us that the church?s struggle is against the rulers and evil forces of darkness "in the heavenly places" (Eph 3:10; 6:12).
They are real, and we are told in Ephesians 6 to suit up with the helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, sword of the spirit, belt of truth, and gospel shoes, and to be in prayer with alert minds.
I'm not depicting extra-terresterials here, but forces of good and evil the Bible has spoke of in detail. I have a little fun with the demons because I know of their certain end. It's coming.
Sending you my best today as always and blessings in Christ,

Comment from Carol Clark2
Another great chapter! The dialogue is well written and moves the story forward nicely. It sounds like there's a major battle shaping up for Aspen Grove. I'm glad you had Candace keep a record of all she's been through. It should be great evidence. Nicely done. Blessings. Carol

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Sally,
I wonder what happened to Candace's other children if only one (Daniel) saw "the light of day"? Were they sacrificed?
I'm surprised that old Beelzebub is sending DeeCayed and Nix back to Aspen Grove... look out, Tommy! They are coming after you! And, if Willa is in close proximity, she better look out, as well. Patience has come to the rescue before. Hopefully, she will again.
It seems like Fee's cab driver has left the hospital, and I'd assume he's heading back to give the news to his boss. What tipped him off? When Fee discovers what Candace has done, he's going to be mad as blazes. He'll be out to find her and Daniel. Let's hope that Willa and Tommy can find a safe place for them, somewhere that Fee can't imagine they'd be. But my fear is that Fee has a spy at the hospital, possibly a certain nurse.
It surprises me that Tommy would be more concerned with Chase Levins than Candace & her baby and Willa. They are now alone while he goes to collect Mr. Levins. Meanwhile, Fee is out for revenge!
I wonder if Beelzebub is good at multi-tasking. Would he have time to be so bothered with Aspen Grove? He has so many other fish to fry. I mean, look what's going on all over the world! The 2022 Emergency Watchlist includes these areas... Ukraine, Sudan, Syria, Somalia, Myanmar, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Yemen, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan.
There's hunger... "The threat of starvation now faces 45 million people in 43 nations around the globe."
Conflicts... "There are now more active conflicts than at any time since 1945."
Climate change ... "Extreme weather is becoming common as the world warms."
Child Abuse... "In the face of multiple types of disasters girls and boys face huge challenges that are deeply damaging to their dreams and hopes for a better life."
Covid-19 ... "The spread of the Omicron variant has laid bare the inequalities in access to vaccines around the world."
"North Korea is launching missiles every week like they are some kind of BB gun."
"The KKK is emboldened and on the rise."
The list goes on and on. Satan is a busy boy. He's got his hands in all of the things mentioned above, and much much more. Does he have time for Aspen Grove? Just wondering, are there satanic princes seated at his table that might handle things that pop up... like in Aspen Grove?
There are archangels ... for example, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. Lucifer, I understand, was also an archangel before he rebelled against God. So who are Beelzebub's princes? Do you know? I have never bothered to find out the hierarchical order of Heaven or Hell. Have you? Just wondering~ it may be safer to be stupid.
"I have bore Gaston's children and have lived in this nightmare to stay alive." ... (I suggest,
I bore Gaston's children and lived this nightmare to stay alive.)
Nicely penned, as usual!
Hugs,
Kimbob

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and insightful comments. The six star rating is most appreciated to because I know how special they are and how hard they are to come by. We only get 6 a week. I have made your recommend improvements too. Thank you!
Since this is a book and not history of the world part one, two and three, it focuses on the things related to Tommy and the gang in Aspen Grove. I know the hordes of hell have much to do, and I know there?s a lot going on in the world right now because the Lord is getting ready return.
The Bible has prophesied that it would be this way.
Wars and rumors of wars.
Weather phenomenon.
Astronomical phenomenon.
Unrest.
Blood in the sky
blood on the earth, as we see upticks in violence, abuses, lawlessness and a break down in moral code.
In the sky, billowing smoke which means fires burning (California) and volcanic eruptions spewing ash.
Plagues, Covid-19, the return of the likeness of Sodom and Gomorrah. Transgenderism. Men wanting to have a womb.
It?s never ending and won?t end until Jesus Christ splits the sky at Armageddon with the glorified Church (us) beside Him. Be ready, my brother. I sincerely believe it is not going to be much longer until the rapture.
The Hierarchy of hell as I understand it in the Scriptures.
Satan is the top dog.
Underneath him is Beelzebub, who is the ruler of the demons. His counterpart is Apollyon, the Lord of the Abyss.
The abyss holds fallen angels who married and procreated with humans and produced giants. You can read about that in Genesis. These fallen angels are being held there until the final judgment for their actions of marrying into mankind.
Abaddon is the Lord of the Locusts. He has a specific job in the Book of Revelation.
The Bible doesn?t mention any others by name specifically but all will go into the lake of fire as well as the AntiChrist and the False Prophet who are spoken of throughout the scriptures and in revelation. They will be cast into the lake of fire was burns forever and ever. I assume all the rest of the fallen angels and every evil and unbelieving person will go with them.
Thank you, again.
Blessings,
Sal XOs

If it wasn't so terrible Beelzebub would be a hoot, with those miscreant demons terrified of him, particularly Decayed, heh heh. Who can cope with the devil? Poor Candace hands all the evidence against the Fitzgerald Elling, and professor Gaston, beautifully written dear Sally, blessings Roy

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I don't like the idea of Willa and Tommy being separated. It doesn't sound like a good idea to me, especially with the demons looking for Tommy. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Willa handed me a biohazard evidence bag with the syringe inside, and I tucked it inside my trench coat. (I have a feeling this information will be important in the future.)
