I just read them in order, last one so far was The Little Gods. And .. I don't know, it didn't click for me.
But I'm really confused about the last line. If it's a quote, I don't know it. I don't speak that language. Google Translate makes this even _more_ confusing.
Given the prominent position (final line of the story) I assume this is important and I feel like everyone is laughing but I don't get the punchline.
- unwind 10y agoYeah, that was confusing. Spoiler in ROT13: "inr!, chgb qrhf svb: jbr vf zr!, V guvax V nz orpbzvat n tbq (Irfcnfvna, fnvq jura sngnyyl vyy)".

- mojoe 10y agoIt's not just you -- there was an issue there. Spanish got conflated with Latin, it should be "puto deus fio", "I fear I am becoming a god"
- magic_beans 10y agoThat's Latin. The emperor Vespasian's reported last words: "damn! I fear I am turning into a god!"
