Keyes Marian. The Seven Deadlies

I am an angel. Go on, have a good laugh, but, really I am. An angel. A proper, fully paid-up heavenly one with wings, halo, the whole lot. And I’m in Los Angeles on a mission. A mission from God, since you ask. Which all sounds very important but to be honest with you the reason I’m here isn’t such a great one. Some angels just have a natural aptitude for the job. I, unfortunately, am not one of them, so I’ve been sent to earth on a course. In order that I can help humans I need to understand them. So while I’m here I have to commit — but not TOO enthusiastically, of course — each of the seven deadly sins. I’ve got seven days to do it in. Envy, Sloth, Greed, Ibrox, my superior listed off. Gluttony, Anger, Envy — no I said Envy already, didn’t I? I can never remember the seven. It’s the same with the seven dwarves, I can usually do five, then I just draw a blank. You try.
