Doris and the Demon

Doris is a "most unattractive girl," as her mother often pointed out. Her father says she is "a plain Jane," with a shake of the head and the sort of look that suggests he thinks it's a lot worse than that.
Perhaps, if it was only her pimples and doubtful hygiene, Doris might have become a classical violinist, or a renowned artist, or a best-selling author, where such things are to be expected. Unfortunately Doris shows none of the qualities required for genius.
So, when an angel says he can help, Doris is tempted...

A delightful, funny, short story from the author of Sting Like a Butterfly.
