Brimstone and Marmalade: A Tor.Com Original
Mathilde doesn't want a demon, she wants a pony.
You know what, kid? I get it. I relished the chance to go riding, and always wanted a horse of my own.
But I, much like you, learned to love that little demon(no mean feat, for a 32 page story), and know that a pony just will not do any more.
Ponies can't talk, ponies don't have voices like the truck that picks up the garbage in the morning, only smaller. Ponies can't call you minion, or threaten to destroy you enemies, or make you laugh quite like Ix’thor could after a hard day at school.
I've come to the realisation after reading this story that ponies kinda suck, and demons are definitely the way to go.
See you at the demon store, kid.
