A Ditch Lane Diaries Short Story

Preface

I wrote Angel Watcher the first of October 2019. I wanted to try my hand at post-apocalyptic writing. It is a Ditch Lane Diaries short story from the angel’s point of view. I never dreamed of a real-life global pandemic. The Ditch Lane Diaries is a series based on a six-thousand-year angelic conflict that uses certain humans in the fight over good and evil. Angel Watcher is a fantasy, and a bestseller with Feisty Heroines Romance Collection of Shorts (Limited 2020 summer edition).

I trust you will enjoy it.

Prologue

Kaduntz, an angel watcher, lived in a time before humanity. A time when all supernatural beings in the Universe dwelled in harmony.

A strange feeling made the hair on her neck rise. Fear. She glanced at her brother, Tabris. Quickly, go to Erinelle. She’ll protect you.

He stared wide-eyed. I won’t leave you.

The ground shook underneath Kaduntz’s feet again. She watched in helpless horror as The Angel Armed Forces, known as the AAF, led by the Archangel Michael, marched through the Worship Angel quadrant. The streets of gold splintered and cracked under their weight.

She watched from the edge of her lawn. Her hands turned into fists.

Out of nowhere, a soldier grabbed Kaduntz’s hair with such force that it brought tears to her eyes. No one had ever treated her in such a manner, and she couldn’t put the emotion into words. She clawed and kicked. What have I done? What have we done? she shouted.

Your leader incited a rebellion in the throne room. The warrior angel snarled, He threatened The Creator. He who no longer has a name in Fifth Heaven is cast out along with every angel under his command.

It’s not fair! Kaduntz struggled to get out of his grasp. I’ve done nothing. My family has done nothing but praise the Trinity. She knew
