Devolving Devil

     You could have taken the Devil's deal, but she looked more like a Devlin. She didn't have the red tinge and long sharp horns of a Devil. She looked more like the younger sister to the Devil. At least that was what you thought. You pressed the pen back to Devlin.
     "I change my mind," Devlin said. "I don't want to give you a deal." Devlin took her contract back, and as she walked away you thought that she had changed. Instead of the fearsome Devil who walked up to your register looked like a little girl. Another customer walked up to your register.
    "That was strange. What did the piece of paper that girl put up there say on it?" The customer asked. Devlin turned about looking even smaller and younger, and you began to shrink into a frog.
    "Oops. Seem to have accidentally granted a wish you had a few years ago. Good luck in the long jump." She laughed and continued through a wall. Now, you are a frog, which I guess isn't as bad as going to hell for taking a deal from the Devil, so there's that.
