Misery Themes: Addiction | Consumption | Oblivion

It is said that Misery loves company, and I do! That’s the very reason I befriended a poor peasant. I made him sell everything he had, little by little, so that we could go out and get drunk.

Now he’s got nothing left to sell. Is he miserable? Not enough, to my liking!

But I know where a big sack of gold has been stashed. We’ll dig it up and then we can keep getting wasted.

I tell you, there’s nothing I like better than draining good spirits!
