Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!

That was excellent. Not only a clever idea, but very well done. This should be required reading for participation in the RSP forums.

For even more hilarious and articulate modern Screwtape letters, check out this one by humorist, author, and speaker Eric Metaxas:
