"So, that's all I have to do?" Gregor Framkin asked nervously.

The demon on the other side of the desk smiled at him, showing too many teeth. "Your John Hancock, right here. In blood, please."

Framkin breathed deeply, hesitated a moment, then signed. A door opened to his left, and a quartet of puppets walked into the room. Eyeing him and sneering, the boy puppet said, "Hello, dickwad. My name's Polo. You and me are gonna be real close." Framkin gasped in agony when Polo jammed his hand into his back and grabbed his spine.

"Let's go. It's Smile Time!"
