Short story: The Price is Right. The Price is Right Chris Fortuna smacked the snooze button on his alarm clock for the third and final time. “School. Such a waste.” He flipped back the blankets, preparing to get out of bed, and froze. He saw a large, horned and hooved entity sitting on the edge of his bed staring back at him. He closed his eyes, rubbed them, and opened them again, only to find the creature was now smirking at him. Chris decided this must be some elaborate joke that his brother must be playing. OK. He could play along. “And you might be?”
The thing at the end of the bed crossed his legs, showing Chris that he was not mistaken in thinking it had hooves. A voice almost too deep for human understanding rolled out of it and rumbled, “I might be anyone, but I’m not. I’m the demon Baal, and I’m here to tell you that I’m sick and tired of waiting for you to start using your talent on your own. You obviously need a push. I’m that push.” The demon stood, and approached Christopher. “Get up.”
Chris should’ve been scared. Anyone would be. But Chris Fortuna backed down from no one. He didn’t know if this thing was a hallucination from the whiskey he stole from his father’s liquor cabinet last night, the pills he got from Jason at the party, or truly what he claimed to be, but he was determined to show it who was boss here. This was HIS room. “Look. You want to talk? Talk. But I have to get ready for school so I can spend all day with a bunch of over-paid, under intelligent losers that are going to pretend that they know more than me.” He turned his back on the monster and proceeded to put on the uniform of his exclusive prep school.
“Impressive. You don’t want to know where I came from? Why you were chosen? Fine. You want to get out of going to school and get right to the money-making? Then pay attention. Let’s get downstairs and right to the demonstration, shall we?” The demon walked out of Chris’ bedroom door, and was waiting for him at the breakfast table when Chris got there.
“Eggs again?” Chris grumbled, ignoring the creature and taking a chair next to his brother.
“No eggs, huh? How about pancakes? Look at your mother, and think “Make me pancakes”. Really mean it. Don’t make it a wish or a question. Make it a command. Go on, try.” The demon stood behind Christopher, prodding him into action.
Chris was amused. If he has to have a hangover, at least it was entertaining. He looked at his mother, who was standing at the sink with her back to him. He focused, thinking ‘Make me pancakes. Now.’ Just for an added boost, he pictured her doing it.
To his amazement, she turned around and looked at her son. “You know, I didn’t even think that you had eggs yesterday. How about I make you some pancakes instead?”
Now Chris was paying attention. Could this just be a fluke? He tried again. He looked at his brother and thought, ‘Give me your i-Pod. Stop eating, go up to your room, and bring it to me right now.' Again, he pictured his brother doing exactly that, just for good measure.
His older brother Mike put down his fork, got up from the table, and bounded up the stairs. He came back down, carrying his i-Pod. He offered it to Chris, hand outstretched. “I was thinking about getting a new one. You want this?”
That WAS a new i-Pod. Mike had just gotten it. He looked at his mother, who was sure to cry foul. She was happily cooking pancakes at the stove, humming a perky tune. Taking the i-Pod, Chris turned to face the demon that apparently only he could see. He smiled. The demon smiled back. Chris said he was running late, and had to leave. His mother continued cooking, and his brother had gone back to eating the eggs. They both offered him a wave and continued what they were doing. As he was walking towards the door, he tried one more time. He called in to his mother, “I’m taking the car.” while thinking it at her, and picturing himself driving it. Being fifteen and only having his temp license, he wasn’t old enough to drive alone. Surely, this would stop her cold.
“Keys are on the hook by the door. Have a good day, Honey.”
Without a second thought, Chris scooped them up and headed out. He wasn’t worried about getting a ticket. He was pretty sure that wasn’t ever going to be a problem.
The demon got in beside him and looked over with pride. “I see I chose wisely after all. Now that you’ve had your push, there’s no need for me to stick around, but I might just like to watch for a while. Now as for payment…”
“I assume it’s my soul. Isn’t it always the soul? Take it. Keep it. Get comfortable. I’m about to take over the world. Pretty sure I won’t need it for that.”
“Indeed you won’t. Off we go.”

Don't worry Tina, that totally counts. However, if you do feel inspired don't forget about this thread. Besides, you have 15 days left.

Whoa! This is a really neat thread! Holley pointed it out to me and I thought I would post a little story I wrote for my sim!Jessie escapades. lol. Peaches McQuinn and sim!Jessie (named JessICKar! Spawner in this incarnation and neighbourhood) decided to spend their hallowe'en dressed up and watching scary movies. (Friday the 13th to be exact, to celebrate the upcoming remake =P) They were just in the middle of a really scary part when they heard noises outside. Peaches jumped. "Holy crap! What if it's Freddy Krueger!!" Jessie cringed. "Uh...it's just a story. I mean, right?!" "I don't know! What if it's not?" Peaches asked. Jessie frowned. "Come check with me!" The two sims got up slowly and crept to the front of the house. "TRICK OR TREAT!" A chorus of children cried when they reaached the front door. Jessie giggled and rolled her eyes. "Two adults scared by some children." Peaches laughed and pointed to the kids. "And what scary children too!" She said with a wink. So yea! sim!Jessie says Happy Hallowe'en!!! Hope everyone has a good and spooky holiday
