Carl: A Neverending Saga... Part 6

by
Micky McKeon

   Carl is waiting in a long line in a mall, for the "Mason Oliver Book Signing Extravaganza, with a special guest signing by Mason Oliver!" Finally, it is Carl's turn, and he takes his place next to Mason.
    Mason asks, "Autograph, picture, or both?"
    "Oh, Mr. Oliver, I am certainly your biggest fan! I need both!"
    Mason signs his book, then stands up next to Carl. The photographer, a lovely blonde in a blood red dress, positions the two side by side. She then says, "You know, some believe that every time you get your picture taken, a little bit of your soul is taken as well."
    "I think I'll chance it!" says Carl, flirting with the girl who is way out of his league. She takes the picture, and Carl starts frantically grasping around his chest, as if part of his soul was just snatched.
    "Hey!" he shouts!
    "I warned you!" says the attractive blonde.
    "Yeah, well at least I still have half my soul left."
    The flash quickly goes off, forcing Carl to close his eyes in surprise. Carl looks up at the photographer.
    "I'll get you, Satan."
