"The proposal of selling the soul"
(sorry for bad translation)
"This story happened to my friend Eugene, 14 years ago, he was still strong and strong, growth under two meters, healthy, young man 36 years. Capable, hands of gold, but there was one problem – drinking, was separated from his wife and lived in a Dorm room the rest of his inheritance from his grandmother. It turned out that he told me about this case, which happened to him just the night before. Eugene was sober, in the morning I had to go to work, and there was no money to pay for a long time.
That's what he said. Eugene loved to read books and usually spent the evening reading books, so it was that night, the time was about one o'clock in the morning, when suddenly, at his door knocked. I must say that shortly before this incident, I went to visit him and gave him a New Testament in a yellow cover. Jack became interested and began to read the New Testament just at this time, when it was knocked. He stood up, walked to the door, and said, "Who?"He politely replied from behind the door: "Eugene N. live here? Can I come in?»
Yevgeny opened the door and sees, is worth high skinny black-haired a man. The most amazing thing is how he was dressed. He was dressed in a black coat, black trousers, a black cloak was thrown over him, he was dressed in black patent leather shoes, he had a tall black top hat on his head, and he had a long cane in his hands.
And all this man was, as if from the last century - look imperious, cold, voice steel. Eugene invited him to enter, he wondered what kind of late uninvited guest, and even in such old-fashioned clothes to him suddenly appeared at such a late time. The man was in a corner of the room and sat in a chair, and raising his head he looked Yevgeny in the eye. He smelled like a wave of some incomprehensible heavy fear.
He smiled, putting one leg over the other, taking the cane in hand, dressed in white gloves, which was very unclear and I the yard it was warm enough, was the month of September is in full swing.
The man said, "I have a proposition for you. I am ready right now to deliver to your room two boxes of vodka, a good snack and give you as much money as you want." Jack was taken aback and asked: "are You serious?» -- «Yeah.» The man in black replied, " This is more than serious! You have no idea what I can do! Want right now to your room will bring new expensive furniture, a good TV, in General, everything you want." Eugene replied: - "why would it suddenly, I can be given such an honor? I don't even have money for a bottle, so what do I owe you, all you offer me is to pay?»
And then the night guest smiling told the following: Evgeny Nikolaevich, you have very expensive goods for which I am ready - to pay any price, without bargaining. Want, you will have a smart comfortable apartment in the center, with expensive furniture, a good car and a lot of money? And I'll give it all to you for nothing."
Eugene asked: - "What can be so valuable for me-for you and at the same time - a trifle for me? I don't understand you." The man in black continued: "Yes, it's really for you – a mere trifle, do not have for you any value -- SELL me your soul!»
Only now until Jenny has peaked, who came to him in visitors. Eugene became scared and then he himself, unexpectedly for himself, abruptly stretched out his hands and grabbed the New Testament from the sofa on which he was sitting and strongly pressed it to his chest. – "Go away!"- said sharply and rudely Yevgeny.
And then the man in black -- took his gloves off with his hands, and Eugene saw from under the glove -- it seemed not an ordinary human hands, and bony feet, with long, curved claws and green scaly skin. Eugene was scared!
The man in black got up and went to the door, he stopped at the door and shook his long claw and said: "You are still a good -- think about my proposal. You live so there is not much, and though you live in the pleasure! Ah why you – your soul, what you from this understood? Better sell while I still have to buy and it's so -- and for nothing can take away." Turned and left.
Eugene rushed to the door and closed the key and then felt that all covered with cold sweat. That's what stories are in our time."
