Short Tales For Big Minds

Penny

I never thought I would see him again, but here we are. Two days later. I watch him walk into the dully lit room. With a worried look plastered onto his face. I can't help but to smirk at the remembrance of that faithful night.

Two days earlier.

"Hello Deirdre." He says looking straight through me. As he walks into the room.
"Hello." I say kicking my feet on top of my desk. "What brings you here to my night club?"
"I need your help." He says taking a seat in front of me.
"With?" I say snapping my fingers for one of my many guards to come.
"Well sir I need some money help."
"Very well since I'm in a good mood I will give you the money, but it comes at a price. "
"What's the price?"
"I will give you a penny per a soul, and if you work well I'll give you a dollar after let's say fifty souls. Two dollars after every let's say one hundred souls, or I will give you a penny for your soul." Say my smirk getting wider.
"A penny?" He nearly shouts.
"Yes but not just any penny." I suck in a cigaret. "It will give you what ever you most desire."
"Really?" He says, "What's the catch?"
"No catch. Just your soul." I stand up and open the top cabinet and I pull out a shiny penny. When I turn around I smile. "So?"
He looks up at me and says, "Deal." I hand him the penny and he walks out.

Present.

"So what brings you back here? I never thought I would see you again."
"You son of a-" I snap my fingers and a guard walks in by my side. The man stops dead in his tracks. "You told me it would give me what I desired."
"Yes and?"
"It turned to dust after I got a sandwich." I laugh as he says that.
"Well it got you what you desired at that moment." He frowns and slams his hand down onto my desk. "Now it's time to hold up your end of the deal." My guard nods and walks behind him. He spins around, and tries to run out the door but my guard holds him down. I grab a knife and I walk over to him. I bend down and I carve D one hundred eighty. On his left cheek just under his eye. "Take him back with the others." I say wiping the blood from the knife.
"Yes sir." The guard drags him down another floor. I look and see my door open again and see a beautiful young woman walk in.
