Don't miss Mick Ryan's "The Widow's Promise" about the lonely widow who promises her soul to the devil if he can satisfy her; he makes it to ninety-nine times, and she is still begging for more ("I can see just how your husband died") and he gives up and goes limping back to hell. She tries to summon him to try one more time and he does not respond, saying "Of all the pain and torment I've witnessed here in hell, I never knew what pain was 'til I rang her front door bell."
