What Happens To Most Demons, Part Iii

...“This is the way it’s always been,
Paul himself was once a demon,
now the guy’s a literal saint,
the door’s open to everyone.”

With that the strange man doffed his hat,
got up and returned to his life,
leaving Dez confronted by choice,
to do evil, or to do right.

Would he take the chance given to him,
or serve the dark master below?
…Dez died as a father of five,
which tells us all we need to know.
