I remember the day I sold the last piece of my soul. It wasn’t to a demon in a red cloak. It was to a man in a gray suit who said, “Everyone does it. It’s just business.” And I believed him. Not because he was persuasive—but because I was tired . Tired of fighting. Tired of being the one who said no. Tired of caring when no one else did.
You see, the devil’s genius isn’t the whip or the flame. It’s the banality . Hell is a room with no windows and one door that opens onto an identical room.

A Taste of Hell Tone: Dark, introspective, accusatory, then hauntingly resigned.
So I took the deal. And the moment I did, I felt something leave me. Not with a scream—with a sigh . Like a tired guest finally leaving a party that went on too long.
