Lunch

I would like to introduce you to the lunch demon. This is the lunch demon:



The following things are true about the lunch demon.

1) The lunch demon has a soul that is heavier than the souls of regular people. It is weighty. Weighty.

2) The lunch demon refers to himself in the second person. "You would maybe like to go out and get a pizza? Yes, you would. Will Bob come with?"

3) Remorse is something that the lunch demon feels as a kind of all-over itch. When the lunch demon does something that makes him feel remorse, the lunch demon feels this unpleasant, all-over itch and it can't scratch it. So it goes for a swim.

4) That thing you just said? To yourself? That thing? The lunch demon heard that.

5) You will, when you die, find the lunch demon waiting for you at the gates of Hell. And you will feel an all-over itch.
