Summary
6. You're My Best Friend
1348 AD
Crowley was drunk.
There was nothing inherently surprising or special about that. Crowley had been drunk on many occasions in his 5,000 years on Earth, but today he was spectacularly drunk.
He had taken one step outside his door that morning, seen the bodies in the street, piles of bloated, blackened, rotting flesh, and immediately decided to forgo any demonic activity today, tomorrow, maybe for the rest of the century. Humans, he decided, had quite enough shite to be getting on with without him adding to it.
He made his way instead to the nearest tavern, performing a small miracle as he went to keep his stomach from rolling at the wave putrid scents, death, shit, fear, that overwhelmed him. He collapsed at a lonely table in a corner of the bar and ordered a large jug of wine that was almost as weak as it was sour. This really was the worst century.Series
