Synopsis: A Demon offers a simple man sweeping up in a bar a wish. Knowing that the usual price for this type of offer is his soul or life, he starts to turn the Demon down. But the Demon assured him that neither of those things would be the price. So he agrees and asks for the love of a beautiful woman. When he brings this woman back to the bar, the Demon showed up and demanded his price...the life of the woman or he can go back to his simple life. He chooses to go back and the woman is left wondering why the simple man sweeping up in the bar has a strange smile while working.
