[ WP ] The devil once promised he would grant you any wish , free of charge , on the day Hell froze over . Today he 's back , and covered in snow .

Well here I was, sitting on my recliner and watching TV. It was a pretty warm day out in 2010, but I had too much stuff on my DVR that I needed to power through on this lazy day. I was halfway through one of my favorite shows when I heard a knock at the door. I had no idea who it could be. I got up, trudged silently to the door, and looked out the peephole. 
 
 Oh. Just Satan. 
 
 I opened the door and, as stated, Satan was standing on my doormat, impatiently tapping his foot. He was covered on his head and shoulders with a somewhat thick layer of snow. 
 
 `` Oh, did it finally happen?'' I asked with an admittedly gloating snicker. 
 
 `` Yes,'' He replied begrudgingly. 
 
 `` Good, good,'' I nodded in anticipation. `` So... my wish?'' 
 
 He threw down his pitchfork in agitation and the snow fell lightly to the floor, shaken off from the pitch black horns protruding from his face. He shook his head. 
 
 `` Are you sure you want this? I mean, I'm all about evil, but this is just a really petty dick move. You could've had anything, and you wanted this?'' He looked over my shoulder and through the door, eyeing my TV. `` I could give you a huge TV. Maybe even some cheese puffs that never run out! You could watch your shows all day and never have to get up. Just do n't make me do this. He worked so hard on that script and came up with the most perfect, loop closing, phenomenal ending. I prefer to torment souls after they're dead. These people lived through 6 seasons for this!'' 
 
 I remained firm with my wish. Too long I had been a good person. Too long I had followed the rules. Now it was my turn to be a mischievous douchebag. 
 
 `` No,'' I said boldly, `` Change the ending of Lost. Confuse them all. Make the peasants argue for years to come. There will never be a substantial conclusion. Nobody will get closure.'' 
 
 And so he did. After a few weeks, the finale came on; and I watched all of the characters walk into the bright light. 
 
 `` What the hell just happ-'' I stopped myself, and a slight grin curled on my face.
