Messing with the Dark SideWe all like to tell stories about the *spooky* things that happen when people mess around with Ouija boards, hexes and spells.
A friend had wierd banging noises in his house for months and was deeply, deeply worried that it was the result of getting drunk and attempting to summon the devil.*
What's scared the crud out of you after you've played with the dark side?
* it turned out to be a tramp living in his attic (no, really). Also, -5 points for rubbish Star Wars jokes

Selling my soul....After uni and a long bout of unemployment (never study an arts subject during a recession) I got a two month temporary job with a major utility company in London. After the two months was up my contract wasn't renewed (for a mixture of reasons - the job was easy as anything but I was still in an unemployment induced depression spiral and my personal hygiene wasn't exactly above reproach. And I hated everyone there, especially this fat old witch called Eve I reported to).
A month after working there I went into my building society to check my account balance. Bit pointless as I knew there was about 3p in there.
I thought to myself "I would sell my soul for those idiots to have paid me for an extra month".
They had!!
While this was quite an eerie coincidence it was hardly an unexpected one considering the general incompetence of the company I worked for. I was a bit discomfited to think I had potentially sold my soul so cheaply though.
Fortunately I later remembered that bit in Name of the Rose where Sean Connery says "Contracts with the devil aren't legally binding"
I spent most of the money on beer and curry, the rest of it I wasted.
