Deal With The Devil

I wont attempt to confirm or deny the existence of demons or devils, because that is not what this story is about. This story is merely about hatching deals with one.

 Because when has the media ever reported something incorrectly? 

I once asked a demon if I may have control over him. He declined. I asked what I may trade for control over him and he replied 100 souls. I made a list and I began on a quest where I asked for people souls.

I did not disguise the deal as something special, I simply asked people that crossed my path if they would be willing to give me their soul, and I would have them sign. I received various responses.

Some people pressed their lips tightly shut and hurried away. Some people asked me what I would give them in return for their soul. I answered that I wouldn't give them anything in return, they could simply give me their soul or not, the choice was theirs. Some refused, claiming to require some sort of sexual or monetary favor in return, and some did not care and signed my list. A few people were perhaps not listening or had very little to look forward to in life and signed my list without question.

At the end of my efforts, I had acquired the signatures of 98 people agreeing to give me their souls. The dream died when I was politely asked not to solicit the souls of strangers.

Security persons escorted me off the property. I informed them that they too could share the opportunity of signing their souls over to me, and regrettably they refused to surrender their souls at this time or at any point in the future.

I still have the list in my possession, and I anticipate some day I will finish that list and hand over the 100 consenting soul donators, at which point I will likely request something trivial in return from this demon.

My only limit is my own imagination! I eagerly anticipate a day when I can open a conversation with the following line, "A young hipster, a demon, a homosexual and I were attending the County Fair. The humans attended due to their own free will, but the demon attended because he belongs to me now. Then, the most peculiar event occurred... "

Perhaps the dream is not dead after all... Soul donations are currently being accepted.
