What is your appearance? An extremely small, very ugly demon most might mistake for an imp.
What was your death? I'm not sure I've died yet. If I have, I don't remember.
What was your crime? I kind of remember being made wrong; I'm an insult to the far, far greater demonic power that created me because I'm not what an imp should be; not evil, and an insult just because I exist. I also kind of remember being or having been a human, and an anti-nihilist, but that seems like a dream to me and I have no idea how that could be a crime.
What is your sentence/punishment? I think I have to hide from my creator, who is coming to 'correct' their mistake and remove the blemish to their honor my existence is. But I'm not sure of that, and I'm really confused and scared.
