We Know the Devil

[dorchadas]

Had an interesting encounter yesterday that's worth preserving.

I was waiting at the Bryn Mawr L stop for the train so I could go down to the Anime Chicago Mixer when a man in a black suit, with black shirt and black tie, and wearing red hat walked by me. As he passed me, he paused and looked off toward the sunset, as the sun was just slipping behind the buildings along Bryn Mawr. He looked at me and said, "The sun’s passing away quickly." Then he smiled and chuckled to himself and, without waiting for a response, walked away.

Bryn Mawr and the L run perpendicular to each other, which means I was technically at a crossroads. So what I'm saying is that I'm pretty sure I met the devil.

Classic Satan.

Who knew the devil could be such a sharp dresser?

Well, they do say he's a man of wealth and taste.

this is the coolest thing i've read all week.
maybe you'll see him again.

On the one hand that would really cap it off, but on the other hand, I feel like asking to meet the devil more than once is really asking for trouble...

I want to leave a comment, but man, what do you even say about that?

One hell of an experience, man.
