"it was 1914 USA had just won the war and without the US military i had nowhere to sleep besides the ground, eat without stealing and drink without drinking water from a river.""as i approached the end of a dark forest i saw the devil standing there, how do i know its him you ask by his left hove he where's only 1 shoe also he wears a green coat.""i ask him are you waiting for me because if you are you're wasting your time, he replies with a yes but i'm not wasting my time, he grins, i feel a slight chill go up my back a one knowing that i'm being played."so what do you want then?" “just a friendly deal” he says. “thats not happening” trust me it is….but why would you?” “why would i what?” “trust me…..heres a deal i will give you all the riches you need but you'll have to wear this” “where what?” then i see what he means as a bear approaches, i have no other choice to kill it otherwise it will kill me so i pull out my rifle and point right at the creature, staring at its eyes for its last moment….i pull the trigger. BANG! “now hop in the bear its perfect fit for you.” he says with his grin getting bigger and bigger. “wait what’s the rest” “the rest of the deal you ask?” “huh yes the rest of the deal” “well if you were this bear skin you're pockets will always be filled of gold.” “and what do you get?” i ask. “well i wasn't finished….if you were this for 7 years without any holy words or bathing in any water and you may not take it off! if you succeed i will leave you and you're riches alone but if you don’t you're soul will be mine forever.” i think about it...i really need the money but doing these three things for seven years is possible but extremely rare to survive a deal from the devil...i accept this deal and hop in the bear skin and check my pockets, there full of gold my face fills with goye but then i remember my punishment. “wait!” i turn around to deny the deal but he's already gone. so i went off to look for a village, i remember walking for a while...seeing things on the way or though i’m not sure what they were?. i found a village tired and weak i stop at a hotel for rest, the next morning i get some food from a local bar everyone seems to like my bear clothing. i go through my first year, thinking this is going to be rather easy until i see how much filth i’m covered in so as i almost take a bath i remember the deal no bathing, no holy words and no taking off the bear skin. i see this is going to be rather hard so i go to the pub for a drink and it seems like if everyone thinks i’m an actual bear. “Hi one whiskey please” but the man doesn't seem to respond i say again “one whiskey” this time he moves...but he doesn't seem to be concentrating. he's spilling every drink he touches i think to myself i better leave so i walk out the door confused. another 2 years have past i now know that i have to options 1 let myself give in and commit suicide or carry on like this alone and afraid. i choose to carry on like this not like there was a big chance of giving the devil my soul. i start having very bad dreams seeing me in hell and how i will be killed so many ways i have seen how i could be killed. the next month or so i see a lady crying, she seems to be holding a newborn boy….i approach her, she moves away as if her legs were broken i say to her “don't be afraid here” i give her a hand full of gold. “bless you” she says. “how can i repay you” in a happy voice...a thought comes to my head. “pray for me” she agrees to pray with me, i thank her and walk off. that night my dreams seem to be happy i have a feeling that makes me fill with joy so i think to myself i know what to do. evening that day i see people in need for help and like last night i do so…..i help. another year pass and i realize there’s only 2 more days until seven years are up, my face fills with joy knowing i am out of the devils flame but on the way for a walk in a park i saw a man sitting on a crate crying i can tell he has children just by the way he looks and i give him a pocket of gold, he thanks me and he says “in return i will allow you to marry 1 of my 3 daughters” i react extremely surprize and i say yes but the way i look bothers me and i do know them. i arrive at his house and all 3 of his daughters are as beautiful as you could get but i know all of them will deny my request for marriage….the youngest daughter says i’m to filthy and the oldest one says i'm to ugly but the middle aged daughter says “i will agree to marry you just bring this ring back in two days” i nod my head and take off to the dark forest, when i arrived….the devil is waiting to me he has a massive frown on his face i say “times up” he replies “ i know you may have your freedom and your money” “Also some new clothing” i look at him and smile….i take all his clothes leaving him with nothing but the bear skin and then run off knowing i will be late just late to return the ring but i make it in time...it seems that the other 2 daughters are very interested in me now considering i shaved and bathed but i walk to the lady i’ve agreed to marry and i say “marry me” but she says “sorry i’ve already promised my marriage to another man” i pull at the ring and her face lights up with feelings that can’t be explained and i say once more “marry me” she replies “yes”.....and we lived happily ever after.
