Sitting in Market Square in downtown Portsmouth on a slow Sunday afternoon, this young guy get into my cab. Tells me he needs to go to Somersworth. We work out a price then we are on our way. Every thing was pretty standard till he proclaimed to me, " I'm going to rid the world of all evil."
After a full double take, I just looked at him with my jaw dropped and and yelped "what!"
"You may not know this but my name is Micheal and I'm the devils brother." He explained with out any hesitation.
"Really?" I asked. Then I start thinking to myself, why do these wackos seem to find me.
Micheal then proceeded to explain to me, " When God decides to take the world back to not to fear fire. It will be the cold that I need to stay away from."
"OK that makes sence to me," I answer. My thought is to keep this dude calm so he doesn't kill me.
"I know what the devil looks like, I know his name, and I know where he lives," He explains. " Because I've meet him and Ive been to his house."
"Well whats his name,what does he look like and where does he live I asked." By this time dude has my full attention and I'm just wondering what the heck he will say next.
He goes on and says " the devil is this black dude and his name is Desmond. But you cant trust him because he can change himself into a white wolf."
I thought well that's interesting. Then I asked, "well where does he live?"
"He lives in Waterville Maine" he proclaims.
"Why there?" I ask. "Why not New York or Los Angeles"
"Because that's to obvious." he tells me.
Then he whispered to me, "Wanna know something else that will blow your mind. God lives in Waterville Maine too."
By this time I'm getting a little tired of his tales so I ask him " does your family know about this."
He then tells me "That his parents think that he is crazy and should get some help."
I didn't respond because I'm trying to keep him calm. Then he asked me " do you think I'm crazy?"
"No." I said
By this time we are in Somersworth and I'm ready to get his ass out of my cab. Then he says to me, "you're a true angel. When god returns he will reward you."
He payed the fare and gave me a very generous tip. Though this kid seemed to be way out in left field, I really wasn't afraid of him. He seemed to me that he was having some mental issues and I hope he listens to his parents and take care of himself.
I hope he leaves Desmond alone, myself... He did say he had to kill him right???
