    “So, what’s the catch?” the devil asked.“No catch,” Martha insisted as she poured him a cup of coffee. Black with far too much sugar, exactly as he’d requested. “I just thought a fella like you’d be interested in making a deal.”She settled into the old kitchen chair opposite the devil. He looked much younger than she’d expected. Otherwise, she’d pictured him perfectly. Dark, slicked-back hair. A neatly trimmed beard. Sharp eyes that stared at her like a hungry predator.“I don’t tend to get called up by little old ladies,” the devil said before taking a deep gulp of scorching hot coffee. “How’d...rewone door

    “Have you ever been to the snow?”“No, but I think that snow is overrated anyway.” “That’s sad that you have never been to the snow.” “That’s not as sad as us sharing a seat on top of a fire hydrant.” “Now that is true but that is not the only sad thing.”.“You’re right. The saddest thing is the thing that we are ignoring.” “Yeah, that’s true and my butt is getting numb from this fire hydrant. I don’t see how I used to sit on them as a kid. When my dad took me and my sister trick or treating and we would get tired he would always tell us to sit on a fire hydrant to rest. Now, my butt is numb fro...rewone door
