__The Devil and Andrew A.__

The year is 1908, Andrew is walking in front of Wrigley field trying to get tickets to game seven of the World Series. The Cubs are playing the Chicago White Sox and Andrew is a die-hard Cubs fan. Sadly, Andrew knows that the game is sold out, he can't find a ticket to go to the game. He thinks that if he gets a ticket from a scalper after the game has already started he might be able to afford the game. Until then he tries to find a way in.

Andrew goes around the back of the stadium and sees a door with red glowing under the crack of the door. He is pulled to the door. He grabs the door handle and pulls away quickly because the handle is extremely hot. He tries again, the handle wasn't hot and the door opens.

The room he entered was red from the glowing exit sign above the door. A loud humming rumbles through the little room. In the left corner there is a heater, it is blowing towards the wall. As he walks closer to it he sees the wall is stained by water as if there was burst pipe. Suddenly a yell comes from behind Andrew, “Hey, what are you doing here?”

Andrew replies “Oh, ah, I leaned up against this door and I fell in.”

Andrew turns around and faces the man, he is the janitor. The janitor says back “Oh don’t worry about it, I was just about to fix that darn door anyways. I thought that you were a fan and got lost inside the park but if you’re not I guess you need to go .” Andrew ponders for a moment and says “Oh, did I say that door, I meant the door you came from.”

“I didn’t know that door was broken too, ok well go back to your seat” says the janitor.

Andrew turns around and begins to walk away. The janitor grabs Andrew and throws him against the wall. “you don’t have tickets do you, your trying to get in for free, aren’t you?”

Andrew says uneasily “you know what, why don’t I just go and we’ll forget this ever happened.”

The janitor loosens his grip and backs away. “If you want to go in I will let you, but you have to do something for me.” Andrew slowly turns around and faces the janitor, but now he has a red tuxedo and his hair is slicked back.

“What do I have to do to see this game?” asks Andrew.

“All you need to do is sign this routine form, it just makes our little deal real” says the janitor.

Silly Andrew just doesn’t read the fine print. He doesn’t know it but he signed that the Cubs would win the World Series, but what he doesn’t know is that it will be the last time they do this. To this day the Cubs have come soo close, but they never won. Cub fans are very aware of curses but this is one no one is aware of. I would like to call this the Argol curse.
