I can’t take anymore, sighed Hans.
He’d been walking the fence for twenty minutes, trying to find a gap. THEY had segregated him, his family, and town, for unknown reasons.
Psst! came a voice from a tree beyond the fence.
Peering out, a young demon grinned wickedly, and said, Sell me your soul; I’ll let you all go free.
“Why?” asked Hans, incredulous.
I’m not paid enough for this. I need a soul. I’m hungry. Yours looks delicious.
Hans thought, If this is a hallucination, so be it.
By the time he breathed, “Okay,” the maw of darkness engulfed him.

Thanks, always, to Rochelle Wisoff-Fields, Fairy Blog-Mother, powerful story-weaver, and of Friday Fictioneers, and to Madison Woods (whose url I could not find) for the photo-prompt.
P.S. I wanted to write something about the Holocaust, but since Rochelle already wrote one, I thought, Head to fantasy world!
P.P.S. I’ll be travelling by car later this evening (to Toronto), and will not be able to visit any sites until tomorrow evening (we’re stopping on the way). Running around, getting things ready. I look forward to reading everyone’s stories.
