I was sitting alone
And drinking of course
When Perdition the Elder stopped by
He had that weird smile upon his face
And that fiery look he gets when
He's about to initiate a somewhat
Unusual convseration

"I'm but a plague," he began to say
"I've studied Locustism for years now.
Human. Useless vermin."

He had a point, but still
I felt I had to reply something, anything
But he cut me right off.

"A slight change of posture,
A loud muted noise from above.
Then came an ego that was to be out downfall."

He paused and stared at me for a moment
That's when he suddenly pulled a
Huge magnum from under his jacket
And forced the wretched thing into
My mouth, saying:

"I am giving you a choice.
Kill yourself or someone you love.
The cold sensation of your teeth clenched
around a gun barrel, and the
Warm salty taste of your own tears

Play dead, and I'll play along son.
