We all know that sometimes the Devil will make a deal in exchange for a soul, but what happens when he comes to collect? Imagine a person who has sold his/her soul to the Devil. How does he come for them? Does he take them directly to Hell? How does he get them wherever they're going and what happens when they get there? Write a story exploring what happens after a deal with the Devil comes to an end. Base it on traditional folklore, or make up your own totally new ideas!

Reaper

I am Sam. I am Reaper.

My parents sold my soul

Now the Devil's my keeper.

I work for him without vacation

Catching escapees all 

                         over

                                 the

                                       nation.

I'm just your average American kid.

I can't forgive what my parents did.

21st birthday began the fun

He was messing with me

Like a prize that he'd won.

I went to mom and dad that night

What they said me gave me a fright.

Now I work for Him 

                          until 

                                   day

                                          light.

I'm just your average American kid.

I can't forget what my parents did.

The job is so hard

Happiness marred

I want to have a nice bright future

Instead I have to watch him torture

Hell fugitives who give me shit.

They need to go back 

                           I 

                                 must 

                                          admit.

I just don't think

I can take the stink

Of another soul burning in Hell

Usually not something one

                           lives 

                                    to 

                                           tell.

For the rest of my life

Pain and strife.

I am Sam. I am Reaper.

Wait till my parents ask a favor

Please don't send us back to Lucifer

What would you do

If it were you

                       in 

                              my 

                                     shoes?

Inspired by the TV series, Reaper. Only lasted two seasons but I loved it.
