Good Satan by Lopperkem

    Good Satan Before time had weight, before the world had sin, and before the name Satan was ever cursed by human lips, there was only Luciel —the Morning Star. He was not the villain of Heaven. He was its light. Luciel walked among the first sparks of creation. When God shaped the stars, it was Luciel who cradled them into constellations. He was the first to sing over the void, the first to kneel before God's throne in awe, not fear. The other angels admired him. Some even envied him, though no one said it aloud.

The time is around 11:42 PM.  The weather is not friendly, with heavy rain, strong winds, and reduced visibility due to thick storm clouds. A commercial airliner, Flight 121 from Peru, is carrying a group of infected people.  The plane struggles to navigate through the intense storm that has engulfed Lagos. The heavy rain pounds against the plane's fuselage, causing turbulence.  The plane's instruments begin to malfunction, and the pilot struggles to maintain control.  With visibility severely reduced, the pilots are forced to make an emergency landing at Murtala Muhammad International Airport. Next day morning, 8:34 AM. James: Dad, come and pick me up on time. I can't wait to see Grandma and Uncle Kem. Jate: Okay. (Jate drove off) His phone rang, and it was Kem, his brother. Kem: Hey, man, where are you? Jate: I'm close, just give me some time. While on the road to the bridge, he turned ...
