Here’s your weekly dose of 100-word story. This time using this prompt: a character who isn’t human.

Title: Angels

How do you tell a good angel from a bad angel? It’s very simple, really; the key word is emotion. Angels are not humans, they are not men and women with wings. They are an entirely different class of creatures, devoid of body and (more importantly) feelings. Angels don’t care about your feelings, only to carry out God’s will; or in the case of the bad ones, to oppose it.

A bad angel will simulate emotions, not because they understand but to manipulate you. Good ones, seeking only to help, will have no use of them, so be not afraid.
