Rest

My darling angel,

I am exhausted.  Everything that we've been through the last few days has gotten me completely worn out.  I'm sure the same can be said for you, though you tend to bounce back a bit better than I do.  You don't need as much time to recover from such exertions.

This is really just a long winded way to getting around to telling you that I need a nap.  I've tried to just keep going like everything is fine but the more I do that, the more tired I get.  The lack of rest before having to deal with Heaven and Hell didn't help me at all.  I just need to sleep for a bit.

I promised you a long time ago that I wouldn't take another century long nap.  While I can't say that I keep all of the promises I make, being a demon and all, I will say that the promises I make to you are sacrosanct.  I would risk a thousand punishments in Hell before I would break any promise that I made to you.

If you have not heard from me in approximately five years, please come wake me up.  I shouldn't need to sleep any longer than that.  I'm not even sure it will be that long, but I like to have a sort of alarm clock.

In this day and age it seems a bit strange to actually write a letter but I know how much you enjoy getting them.  And it also delays your knowledge of my nap and makes you less likely to try to talk me out of it.  I will call you as soon as I wake up, unless you have to wake me up of course, and then we can have lunch at the Ritz.

Eternally Yours,
Anthony J Crowley
