It was surprisingly highly entertaining. I usually don't go for short stories but the concept got me hooked and because it was free I decided to give it a try. I think this author has a lot of talent.

Doesn't really live up to the early promise and the formatting is horrible to read on a Kindle

Smite Me, Oh Dark One is a very quick, hilarious read. When the God of Darkness doesn't want to be the one to destroy the world what happens? He becomes an Evil Overlord with a legion of goblin defenders of course! The story Steve has written was original and amusing and I truly hope to see more work of this nature from him.
It's free! Give it a read and enjoy.
