The Tin Badge and the Devil

By: Hood, Joshua L.

People just don't make deals like they used to. The devil blames secularism, but there's not much he can do about that. Instead, he has resorted to exploiting a loophole in the rules that's nearly impossible to escape. And he's not just bartering in souls anymore. In this final deal the future of what it means to be evil is at stake.

Steve has worked very hard at being an underachiever. A life-long dedication to avoiding responsibility has left him working a night shift security gig in a nowhere part of town. It's calm, solitary, quiet - everything he's ever wanted. One sodden night Steve begins noticing strange things lurking in the distant shadows, some even in plain view. Legs without a torso, twelve-foot humanoid apparitions, a kid he could have sworn died years ago. As the horrors in the night become more frequent and more threatening he realizes that he's in danger of being seriously hurt, killed, or - worst of all - having to do his job.

Fortunately, the devil arrives to in time to save Steve's life. Unfortunately, now Steve owes him a big one.
