“You went somewhere just now, where did you go?”
“Ah; nowhere anyone but me can live.”
“Your own personal hell then?” “Yes and no.”
“Are you the sinner there, or do you give
Out punishment?” “Both. I am my own devil.”
“And aren’t we all. I’m only tempted by
What tickles me on some self-centered level.”
“Same here. Show me the lost, the sad, and I
Will murder God to help them. That’s my hell.”
“The mortal sin of generosity.”
“That’s where I went just now. I almost fell
Into the trap of being That Dark Me.”
“It’s my trap too.” “So if we’re both its whores,
I’ll show you my hell, if you show me yours.”
