Short description

Why are we here? I had a chance meeting with a strange old man the other day that claimed to know. His answer makes a frightening amount of sense.

Extended description

I looked at the paper with a sigh. Some nimrod quit his job because the number 666 was on his W2. He was quoted as saying “no amount of money is worth my soul.” I put the paper down on the diner counter as I mumbled to myself.

He laughed out loud as I looked at him, the laugh a sound somewhere between all-knowing and all evil. I almost got up to move down the counter and he froze me with a twinkle in his eyes. I was stuck looking over the edge into a bottomless pit of knowledge.
