People have always know about the shop, the rumours have floated over the centuries.
I can always spot the ones looking for it; they have that look, that little glint of desperation.
And then there are the hesitant ones, the undecided. They hover around, eyes frantically trying to catch a glimpse of what's inside. It's not my job to invite them, the desire must come from them, if they walk away there are always more.
I welcome those who step forward ignoring the signs on the door. The wares I offer are worth the price of their souls.
I'd love read what you think about this post...

I hear the market for souls is very healthy these days
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil, the market is flooded with soul traders out to make a profit ;-)
DeleteThe sinister side of this is nicely escalated through the piece. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra I am glad you liked it.
DeleteSinister - though I've never understood why anyone would want other people's souls.
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz, that's a question for people with a soul interest ;-)
DeleteMust be good if its worth a soul or two :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Iain. It's perfect till it's time to pay.
DeleteThe only entity I know who seeks human souls is Old Scratch, better known as the Devil. And HE is a scary guy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, Old Scratch does have many franchises. This might be one of them :-)
DeleteWhat a great read! Sounds like a Stephen King story ... in a hundred words or less :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for those words of high praise Dora.
DeleteVery creepy and I'm sure something like has existed in one form or another for forever. Very well-written story.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa I am glad you liked it.
DeleteSeems like there are quite a few souls we should send his way
ReplyDeleteThanks Dale, I hear there is this one guy who is always on twitter....
DeleteDear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteAn ominous and sinister shop, that one. Well told.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle I am glad you liked it.
DeleteSinister from start to finish. Well-told Subroto!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading.
DeleteFrom what I'm told, I could not trade for much in that store. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill, you are one of the lucky ones then.
DeletePerhaps they ignored the signs because they are soul profiteers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula. It is a soul trading concern ;-)
DeleteEnter at your peril. An intriguing tale.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine!
Thanks Keith.
DeleteSounds like "Down Island" is way, way down there, where it's very hot :-)
ReplyDeleteAustralia? Or did you have another place in mind ;-)
DeleteFrom intriguing to sinister. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteDr Faustus was once a customer there I guess.
ReplyDeleteDr Faustus was definitely a customer, thanks for your comments Björn.
