the devil is your friend.



I have been thinking about how the Devil would ask you for your soul. How would the Devil trick you? Would the Devil take on a guise of a loved one? What if your best friend was your dog? Would your dog ask you for your soul? Telling you it was a good idea?

There is a dog that lives across the alley from us. I saw him sneak out of his yard one day to bark at a cat, and now I have been waiting to see him again so that I can take his picture. He ran out through a crack in the fence and I said, "Hey!" and he gave me the strangest look, like I shouldn't approach him, and then he went back into his yard.

  1. that's an interesting angle. I've been looking at from the side of the person who sold his soul--what's his life like, etc. Does he even know what he did?

  2. It's all in the trickery. I think the best trick is when you have no idea you're being duped at all – when you are almost willingly giving soul away.
