Apocalyptus Interruptus 3 — Scott Reeves

Is there redemption for the Devil?



Apocalyptus Interruptus, a serialized novel told in bite-sized episodic chunks, is a black comedy about a world that's teetering on the brink of the Apocalypse when Satan decides to call the whole thing off so that he can repent and seek God's forgiveness.



He's paired with an atheist who acts as his bodyguard as he tours the world, performing miracles to enrich the lives of needy people. Meanwhile, Christians and Satanists, determined that the End shall come right on schedule despite a repentant Satan, work together to get the course of prophetic events back on track.



NOTE: This is a 3,200-word short story, NOT a novel.
