Contractor

"Phoebe Isidore, born into a middle-class family in Los Angeles, was one of those lonely girls who always wanted what she did not have. She allowed her desire to be beautiful, rich, and famous to consume her; she gave up her soul to Kurai Thanos, universal Contractor and mistress of this house, in exchange for fleeting beauty, evanescent fame, and transient riches. Phoebe shunned all those like who she had been before her binding agreement, failing to notice the angels of her own kind for the pulse of flashbulbs..." On the dais where I read aloud my judgment to an empty theater I find myself again, but this time there is a single spectator: Kurai Thanos, universal Contractor. She extends her hand.
This time, though, the fangs are real.
