Devil's Math
By dark_sister
He said his middle name was Victor.
I asked him when he would see me.
He said when the three moons rise.
I asked him when the world would end.
He said when the azure beetle
spreads its wings and breathes fire.
I told him I want to live through it.
"Do you think I can?", I asked.
"You will one way or another," he said.
