Don't Read in the Dark

I am Sam

I am Sam.

I have reached the gates of Hell. I entered without fear. I met the Lord of All Evil and we made a deal. I was sent back to Earth, with a task.

I have to kill 665 people before I die. If I do, I will depend eternity as The Demon King in Hell, with my own Legion to command. Of course, I am very delighted by that perspective...

There is one condition though: I cannot kill random people.

There is a trigger: If they hear a simple incantation, involving my name then they are eligible to be my target.

I manged to make my job easier. I put the spell into a book, a famous one, so that many people will probably hear it.

I am smart

Very smart indeed.

So, after you hear the deadly sentence, I know you.

And when you are least expecting, you'll see my shadow out of the corner of your eye.

And when you turn your head to see what that is...it will be too late...

I'll be waiting for you to hear my name again.

Sam I am.
