Satan was bored.
Entrapping ape creatures with trinkets is a silly job, trivial for even a third rate daemon. Still, he'd worked hard on the way up and eventually became the senior exec.
When mass media had come on the scene Satan enthusiastically made it his own, but his success was his undoing. Television and the internet had automated the reaping of souls leaving him with nothing to do. An eternity of that would be hell.
With that, Satan conceded defeat. He'd won but he'd also lost. Yahweh nodded, cleared the board and asked if he'd like to play again.

Surely, he was aware the game war rigged from the get go, wasn't he?

Nice work, Eric!
I've only just started reading the forums a few days ago, but this is my favourite so far.

Wow, I loved the ending. Thinking of the struggle of good v. evil as a board game tickles my fancy.

The game has been rigged since the get-go.

The evidence is all around, but proof really takes all of the fun out of it.
My favorite piece of evidence was the simple and elegant self-naming. Tell them "I Am" sent you.
A simple existential assertion that makes contrived diabolical plans seem clumsy and second-rate by comparison.
