ANGELS
Three choicesThe hammer of the Duke
Chapter 5
Having said these things, St. Nuke fell silent, and the Angels began to talk among themselves,
2In disbelieving tones,
3Because they were not used to being given schoices,
4And they could not understand why the punks were not afraid of them,
5Which made them become angry,
6So that the leader of the Angels drew a hammer from his belt, and held it before the face of St. Nuke, saying,
7“I am the leader of the Angels, and I am called the aDuke, which would frighten you, if you thought about it at all,
8“For bI have slain many who are larger and stronger than you,
9“And I have decided to accept all three of your choices,
10“Which means that I will kill you first, in single combat,
11“And then we will march up South Street and dispose of the Shuteye Train,
12c“Whatever that is,
13“And then we shall return to finish the rest of you,
14“Because we are dAngels,
15“And you are enothing.”
