The Devil's Wish
by Peter Petkovsek
Hey Jeremy
Hello. Who’s this?
You’re a plastic surgeon right?
I need your help, OFF the books
Right … Who are you?
See the guy in a yellow coat walking down the street?
HOLY SHIT
He just turned into a goat!!
That’s not all …
And the goat is spouting fire!
And some more …
It just said Jeremy and looked at me!!
Know who I am now?
Jesus Christ!!!
What?? No, I’m way prettier
I’m the Devil you idiot
Are you some sort of illusionist?
UGH! Ok you tell me what to do so that you’ll stop doubting
But make it quick, I need your professional skill!
Um ok … My boss was an asshole today
If you’re the Devil, can you make him pay for that
Easy! Should I boil him to death while being cut by rusty knives?
WHOA hold on
I don’t want him to be horribly tortured, just something small
How about painful hemorrhoids?
Haha ok that sounds better
Done!
How will I know it’s happening?
Answer the phone :)
What? Oh wait, I have a call
Wow! That was my boss!
What a surprise
He asked me to cover for him tomorrow
And why would that be
His hemorrhoids are acting up …
There you go :)
Holy moly … so you’re the Devil?
Finally!! It ain’t easy these days
So I need you to perform an operation
Wait why is your chat name Beelzie666?
Le SIGH … It’s short and cute for Beelzebub …
Ya know, Lord of the Flies and all that
So that’s your actual name?
No, I have many. Lucifer, Satan, Prince of Darkness, Joe …
Joe?
Well only my close friends call me that really
ANYWAY, I’d like to propose a little pact
Oh shit. Am I in trouble??
Am I about to die or something??
What? Ooh I get it, because the Devil contacted you
Man it’s hard to talk to humans these days
I’m not about to get raptured?? I’m not even religious!
Ya, tell that to demon as he’s dunking you in a pit of lava
WHAT? Wait I’m a good guy! I’ve done nothing wrong!!
You certainly cheated on your girlfriend!
ONE time and it didn’t mean anything!!!
HA! I’m just messing with you man
You’re not dying or going to hell, don’t worry
Not yet anyway
Jesus, you scared me!
Yeah he does that to me as well
So … What DO you want?
FINALLY!! Well, it’s a bit embarrassing
I mean, what is it that I can do for the Devil?
You’re a really good plastic surgeon, right?
Yes, I’m sure you know that anyway
Correct. So I was wondering if you could …
Make me look a bit better
What do you mean? Can’t you just do that yourself?
Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way
But can’t the Devil take any shape?
I can POSSESS other bodies, but that’s really uncomfortable
It’s not really YOU ya know
You can’t change yourself?
No, I’m stuck with my physical form
Sounds very powerless for the Devil …
So what do you want? Bigger boobs?
Watch it Jeremy, I AM still the Devil
Sorry LOL
I’ve grown tired of the horns … and the cloven feet are a bit awkward these days
Wow you actually look like that?
You’ve seen me!
Wait the goat that yelled my name that was YOU?
You can see what I mean
I just want to fit in, ya know
It’s tough on a guy to always get shunned and scared of …
Wow this is not what I imagined the Devil to be like
You’re kind of a … pussy
Says Mr Itmeantnothingmyass Cheater!!
WTF I thought you liked it when people sin
See that’s what everyone thinks. It’s just a job!!
I suppose … haven’t thought of it that way
Do you think garbage men LIKE it when people throw garbage away?
Um, probably not?
Or toilet cleaners LIKE it when someone takes a big fat dump??
Ok ok calm down
It gets frustrating
I can tell
Wow. Just wow. Basically, you’d like to have a human shape?
You guessed it, doc
And you want me to do it?
You’re the best, and this has to be off the record, or I could get in trouble upstairs
You mean God?
Yep. You get a wish of course
This is crazy! Can I wish to be super famous??
Yeah that’s easy
Awesome! How about Saturday?
It’s a deal! Thanks Jeremy
(a week later)
This new look is amazing! You’re the best, Jeremy
HEY! I just got fired today!! Someone tipped them off about the unapproved surgery!!
I’m all over the newspapers
They’re saying I’m not right in the head because I mentioned the Devil
I granted your wish! You’re famous!!
I didn’t mean famous for being a crazy malpractice doctor!?!
Haha yeah well, you did make a pact with the Devil
And you wished for something super selfish
What did you think would happen?
Aargh go to hell!!
Already there – but I’ll see you soon anyway ;)
