My flashfic entry for HollyBlackAuthor's flashfic contest.
The prompt: "A deal with the devil"
---
There's a rapid knocking on my office door. I groan as my already throbbing headache intensifies. "Enter."
One of my interns hurries inside. "Ma'am, I know we're not supposed to disturb you, but it's Miss Wetsone..."
I rub my temples in an attempt to still the migraine. "Bring her up."
"Right away, ma'am."
He runs off and not a minute later a lithe woman in a crimson dress strides in. She sits down in front of me.
"Miss Wetsone, what can I do for you?"
"I need you to look at our contract again."
"Why? I have done what was asked of me."
"But I am not pleased."
I close my eyes for a moment to temper the headache. "You asked for fortune and fame, I delivered." I look at her still flat stomach. "And, like it or not, seven months from now is when you will deliver to me."
