EPILOGUE

“It was a lovely wedding, wasn’t it, Jack?” Oswald said.

I took a deep drag of my hellfire stick and then threw back a shot of Devil Boy.

“Would have been nice if they had a bottle of formaldehyde. No one considers zombies.”

Madgogg insisted we come to the ceremony as his guests. Probably to piss off his new mother-in-law. I didn’t need much prodding to piss off Gwendolyn. That was the last time I’d take a job from those double-crossing pixies.

“I did find the goose pâté in bad taste,” Oswald said.

“I got my fairy dust. That’s all I care about.”

“But there’s one thing that’s still bothering me.”

“Oswald, you’re such a woman.”

“Whose soul did you destroy?”

“Listen, souls are destroyed every day. Such is the cruel world of Pandemonium. Besides, what are the odds of it ever getting back to us?” I looked out my office window and watched a black-winged nightmare glide east toward the Broken Lands, a limp elf in its talons.

Oswald shrugged. I poured myself another hit of Devil Boy, but the intercom buzzed before I could throw it back.

“Yeah, Lilith?”

“There’s a rather large and angry ogress here.”

I looked at Oswald. He started morphing into a blob. That was a bad sign.

“Yeah, Lilith, what does she want?”

“Something about her recently deceased husband and a coyote named Sam.”

I wondered if the fire escape would hold my weight. It had been a while since I last used it.

“Thanks, Lilith. Oswald will be right out.”
