"What the fuck!!"

"THAT WAS AN INSANE STORY!!!"

I jumped from my chair after listening  Tom's story of how he is an impure devil such as me. I had no idea that this world was this much wicked and tragic.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Yeah, why?"

  "Man, you're strong, stronger than everyone I have met. How do you feel, don't you feel sad, about whatever you had to go through, that your own dad tried to kill you?"

"Um, well what do I say, anything I would say will be awkward!"

"I guess I don't hate my father for what he did. I do not blame him for everything I had to go through, because I have just heard the stories. Imagine the pain he had to be with for the last twenty years. He had no one by his side to tell him it's okay." 

Tom was so calm and personified, he was sincere. He was not like the other devils he was responsible. Maybe because the way he had to walk through since he was a kid made him strong.
