Her mother had a circuitous way of telling her the truth. One night the devil himself had come to her. His skin was as red as her grandfather’s skin had been black. Small horns peeped up from his bald head and her mother had found the thickness of his arms and his chest pleasing. Showing no fear before his dark majesty, she had called him beautiful.
