Cutting The Devil Out Of Them: An Occupational Hazard>Act 15


Disclaimer: Appearances often are deceiving. In union there is strength. Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything We often despise what is most useful to us. Fiction can be that way sometimes. Any similarities to persons living or dead is purely conincidental & should not be taken or misconstrued as such. Anyone who thinks otherwise, probably believes that God spelled backward is Dog and that Devil spelled backward is Lived.

Recapping the last installment of Devil's Island, we learned of the strange religious fanatic named Priestess Paulette, one of Devil’s Island’s roving spiritual marms, who along with Matterhorn Melissa and Brimstone Bettina who organized a secret, yet holy religious cult on Devil’s Island that targeted the weak-hearted & feeble-minded.

But all that holds forth and court for that matter hold true; even though these religious ladies appear sweet and loving on the surface, they are sneaky & fiendish underneath it all and will stop at nothing to reign supreme to their salvation, just as long as the price is right for the righteous rewards that await them once they have confessed sins to the Holy Father.

It is not known exactly when the cult began, but what is known was this; it was in some form of existence when Old Black Devil arrived on Devil’s Island and eventually reigned supreme for the next several months on Devil’s Island.

Strangely, in the beginning it was only known to attract women, but then the women grew long stalks of ennui and began to encounter and eventually lure men into their cult. Of the many men who were enticed to join ranks with them was none other than Roger Dogma.

As previously stated in the annals of the Devil’s Island saga, we have learned thus far that Roger Dogma is a gentle & loving soul, but it wasn’t always that way. Before Roger Dogma joined up, he was a swinger, a true partier, even more so than Va-Va-Voom & Loud-Mouthed Lucy combined! Roger Dogma stayed up all hours of the night, smoked bowls of brownies and hit and even scored on anything that moved.

In other words, Roger Dogma was a mover and shaker, the kind of man that attracted women in a heartbeat! Was it because of his short spiky hair, sharply curved & toned pecs and torso that attracted them? Perhaps it was those beautiful baby blues he flashed at each passing female that wandered into his den that made him so popular.

Or maybe it was his touch. Whatever the reason, Roger Dogma had it all going so well for him, that is up until he met his match…

Sometime ago when the prison was in the doldrums, Old Black Devil wanted to bring the spirit of the Holy Father back into prisoner’s lives. At first it took a while to organize, but then lo and behold, Old Black Devil found the right elements and viola! She created a religious group that would soon take precedent over all things Devil’s Island.

Old Black Devil recruited three women; Priestess Paulette, Matterhorn Melissa and Brimstone Bettina. Hindsight had proved wisely and was researched thoroughly by Old Black Devil herself. It proved successful; in other words if anybody could motivate the population into becoming believers, it would be these three women.

Priestess Paula came into Devil’s Island by mistake actually. She was on her way to a three-day conference on how to cast out demons from waywardly people’s souls when she stumbled upon Devil’s Island and offered her services. Old Black Devil eagerly agreed.

Matterhorn Melissa was brought into Devil’s Island on the basis of mistaken identity, a case she is still trying to get back into the court system and prove to the world that she wasn’t the one who stole three Easter eggs on a Palm Sunday 40 years ago.

Brimstone Bettina’s crime against humanity was simply for passing out religious tracts inside a house of ill-repute, a crime she still heavily commits on Devil’s Island when no one is minding the store.

Former Devil’s Island inmates Botox Frankenstein and Dinosaur Jr. were two of just the many inmates who received tracts from Brimstone Bettina on an almost daily basis, while listening to the sometimes hot and heavy ranting and raving, by all three women and Old Black Devil combined.

Though it is not widely known, Old Black Devil was a seeker of the divine truth, and time after time sought knowledge of the evil Western ways in order to teach herself the true calling of the Holy Father.

The group started with three individuals, but soon it swelled to at least 20 members solid. The numbers rose steadily with Old Black Devil’s support, mostly through combined actions of snake-charming ways involving veiled threats and promises that were repeatedly broken in two, other than seeking divinity from the Holy Father.

The Holy Father was considered the true divinity of all those that sought comfort in their lives, a prickly yet soothing novelty in the shape of a human being that sported unfamiliar traits. The Holy Father had answers that both the group and Old Black Devil sought out from time to time for comfort and wisdom of their own means.

Roger Dogma was at best the true male influence and role model for the group; he campaigned and rallied heavily on behalf of the group for the other prisoners. He recruited tirelessly for them, averaging five members per month he saved or counseled; he was a blessed man for certain.

Roger Dogma was in fact, a true gift of a man that had dropped from the sky one day and just enjoyed helping his fellow man or woman, for that matter. He never sought reward or reason. He just enjoyed giving and giving and giving without the receipt of reward. That indeed was his reward, those that he helped along to better their lives.

But then situations began to change. There was talk of heathen rights occurring with punishment for those who disagreed with the group’s philosophy. And accusations within the network, but who got the blame for all of it? Well, it was none other than Roger Dogma the rightful heir apparent to the religious throne on Devil’s Island.

Old Black Devil never intended for Roger Dogma to get so far so fast and tried every trick in the book to make him see otherwise. Roger Dogma didn’t budge. He stood his ground for human and religious rights. Old Black Devil didn’t like that and accused him of an incident that was never proved. Still, the damage was done. The group’s image was tarnished forever and members of the holy cult left in droves.

Eventually the group disbanded and Roger Dogma was sent into solitary confinement where he still sits presently, even though Old Black Devil was executed many moons ago. Roger Dogma has never made any attempts to get out simply because he prefers the peacefulness & the quietness of the area.

As for the three spiritual marms, Priestess Paulette, Matterhorn Melissa and Brimstone Bettina, they can be seen on a regular basis, preaching and passing out tracts to anybody who will give them the time of day and listen to the divine truth that comes to all once they meet and greet the Holy Father in and around Devil's Island.
