    There’s a mythical story (Greek or Roman) where a goddess managed to get her human lover an eternal life, but forgot to ask for eternal youth. This oversight led to the horror where he watched his beautiful young lover from afar while he lost all grace, prominence and influence while withering away into an eternal life of suffering.

    Honestly, that is what this old goat deserved. Not the peaceful death that he got.

        I don’t think anyone deserves never-ending torment and anguish… but maybe a lot of it in this case?

          Ok fine, how about 1000 years of hourly anal pineapple insertions while wearing a french maid costume?
