Beating the Devil
Sharon’s note: Stories are such a part of the human identity that sometimes, all you need is a line or a hint, and you know exactly what the person is talking about. These days these parts of stories are called tropes, and they get trashed for being predictable. Yes, if they are used badly, they …
