"Sign here please,"
The tall pale man said with an unnerving smile.
'Remind me, exactly what is this petition about?'
"Oh, nothing special.. just a better Healthcare system..."
His smile got wider and his eyes glimmered.
For a fraction of a second I was sure I didn't see my reflection in his eyes,
and then, a sudden cold fell upon me.
'Oh well..'
I sighed as I took the cold white utensil in my hand,
The moment I took the pen I cut my finger on a splinter of plastic.
'Shit!' I yelled.
A drop of blood hit the paper and wrote my full name, adress and blood type.
"Very well!" the man laughed as his alabaster skin fell off his face and hands..
His eyes glowed and burnt to ash..
Morphing his pitch black suit into a long flowing cloak..
a curved blade rested atop his walking cane..
"Don't worry.." He whispered,
"I'm off to the next contract."
