The Deal

Ben Brown is a 19 year old college student.
He has a girlfriend, Chrissy, who's been with him 4 years.
He has a job, no car, and lives with his parents.


Ben feels like his life has become mundane.
Until today...

On the way to school Ben's bike is hit by a limousine.

That is when Ben meets Gabe, a smooth talking deal maker.
Gabe tells Ben that he can make "all your wildest fantasies come true".

Ben reluctantly accepts.

Gabe keeps his end of the bargain, Ben becomes rich, powerful, and famous.
Ben has to keep up his end of the bargain, and give up his soul.

Ben adamantly refuses.

Bad things begin to happen, every time Ben refuses Gabe's request.
Not long after the whole ordeal, Ben winds up in prison on death row.
Gabe appears one last time, asking for his payment.
Ben tells him off, and goes to the electric chair...

There is a twist, I'm not going to give it away.
But if you pay close enough attention, you should be able to figure it out...
