Deals with the devil always end up bad, no matter how hard you try to set up a nice fair bargain. I learned this the hard way, and now, now I'm a monster. Everything I loved so dearly has slipped through my hands. Nothing is how it was supposed to be. I was supposed to have HER. I was supposed to be happy with her. Now she's gone... And all I have is this stupid piano. I'm compelled to play it for the rest of my goddamned life on this earth.
I was a well off man. I had some money, a nice car. I also had charm, oh the number of women I'd seduced. I could have any woman in the world, but I had my eyes set on her, Alice. She was such a beautiful woman. Her rich brown locks, flowing down in curls, and those amber eyes. I can't describe her beauty with mere words. Though I was not her type of man. I swung from girl to girl while she preferred to stay in a steady relationship. I loved a life of luxury while she was content in staying in a small urban apartment. I loved club music while she loved the sound of pianos. She didn't know of my existence, and that only drew me to her. She was something I couldn't have so I wanted her badly.
I decided the best way to et her attention was to learn the piano. I know most people would've just tried talking to her or something, but that didn't seem right to me. I wanted her to admire me, idolize me. So I tried...but completely failed. Apparently I didn't have the hands of a pianist, I had no musical talent at all. I decided to talk to my friends about this. I course they laughed at me, telling me I was stupid for trying, but I really wanted her and the only way I could ever get her was if I knew how to play the damn piano. Hen my friend said something that made me think.
"Don't you know, all those people with 'talent' sell their souls to the devil?" I know he was only joking, but what if? What if there was a chance I could sell my soul for this musical talent? She'd have to like me, right?
I started to research as much as possible on summoning a great demon. Of course there were loons telling me not to, bad this will happen and yadah yadah. I decided to hold the ritual at midnight, since no one would interrupt me. After the numerous incantations, nothing happened... well, nothing seemed to at first glance. There was something there. I couldn't see it, but I knew it was there. So I asked to make a deal with it. I'd have a musical talent, and it would have my soul in exchange, all I had to do, was sign a contract. Simple enough, but that thing was huge, kind of like the terms and conditions. I simply didn't read it and signed at the bottom.
