I was astounded. "If your The Devil, then how come you look like a little girl?" She grinned at me, but something about it was strange. It was just a little too wide, and her teeth were like tiny daggers protruding from her gums. She tilted her head slightly, and her smile returned to normal.

"Oh C'mon!", She tribed. "I do what I please! I can look like whoever and whatever I want. Check this one out." All of a sudden,a burst of flame appeared in front of us, and I jumped back and ducked quickly. The flame disappeared as soon as it had formed and all of the sudden, my wife was standing in front of me. "I'm leaving you, Joseph. My new husband has everything I need. You are nothing."

Then, with a puff of smoke, the woman was standing there again, like nothing had happened. I was horrified, and ran for the door. The woman quickly blocked it and shoved me against the opposite wall with unnatural force. I collapsed onto the floor, shaking in fear. "Calm down, man. I ain't gonna hurt you."

My voice trembling, I replied. "What.....what do you want from me?" She rolled her eyes yet again and picked me up off the floor and set me not-so-gently on the bed. She pulled up a chair in it backwards, like a kid would. "I saw a doomed soul. A lost spirit, a person who was about to let the bad guys win, and I couldn't stand to watch that. I'm going to do a favor for you Joseph."

I sat up a little and gave her a perplexed look. "What kind of favor?" She got up off the chair and gestured for me to follow her. "C'mon, walk with me." I got up, and seeing no other option, started towards the door. We started walking towards the exit while she spoke to me again. "Alright, Joseph. Tonight is gonna be a big night for you.

Why is that?" I asked. She grinned that evil grin at me again and spoke a little softer. " I happen to know that your wife and her "new life partner", are in his mansion on 657 Greenwood avenue right now "discussing financial business". She put finger quotations around that phrase and gave a knowing glance. "I want you to go over there tonight, and POW! POW! the both of them. She used her hand to make a gun symbol as she made her sound effects. I was appalled

. "You want me to kill my wife? She rolled her eyes yet again and spoke exasperated. "Kill yor wife, kill her husband. Kill his annoying little shitzu for all I care. You have to kill them Joseph. Don't let them take your childen away from you. If she dies, your name is still in the will. You'll still get all the money. Then you could be a father again."

I thought about it. Was I really letting this woman talk me into killing the mother of my children?  I couldn't do that... could I? Then a new factor made it's way into my mind. "Well, now that i know hell exists I'm not going to kill my wife. That would be a sin." She looked at me mischeviously. "Thats where my favor comes in. For 1 night, and 1 night only, I will absolve you of your sins. Treat it like a get-out-of-jail-free card."

"I can't." I said. "I won't." Thats when she turned from mischevious, to angry. She started yelling at me in an angry and frightening voice.

"You're really gonna let this happen to you, Joseph? You still love her? Your stupid, inconsiderate, whore of a wife sins in Gods name." As she spoke, her voice became deeper, 1000 octaves lower than anything I've ever heard. It filled the world, filled my head. " Kill them, kill them both Joseph. Send them to hell, to me! I'll make sure they suffer until the end of time!!"

"Ok!' I yelled. "I'll do it." She smiled. "Wonderful." Her voice had convenently turned back to normal. I'll meet you in the front of their mansion in 30 minutes. I realized she had been leading me to my car this whole time. "You need a ride?" I turned to her. But she had already vanished.
