Yes, but did he win? Because I think he would be terrible at being a I don't think demons are supposed to be quite so focused inwardly.

This was beautiful and wonderful, and I have nothing to add except that I loved it so.

Also, most of the people I love would have walked into that library trap and said, "Fine, turn me into a demon; but can I keep the books?"

Well, does his reasoning strike true to you? If so, I think he was able to get out.

The books may or may not be real, remember ;)

I had to read this twice, because it's a high-concept piece, but I think it's the best example to date of this topic!

High praise! Thank you!

I really liked the fairy tale feeling to this, and trying to outscheme a demon is always a perennial favorite for me. :)

:D I shudder to think, though, of all the ones who did not get to outsmart demons. We only hear about the successes, never the failures!
