It was 6:32 pm when Hawk Winter Alanson's parachute didn't deploy when skydiving.
It was 6:33 pm when time seemed to freeze for the man as a demon asked him a question. A question that, without any hesitation, the man accepted.
The man lived that day with a task to perform for the demon.
The man never performed the task after that day.
Three days later, at 11:05 am, Hawk Winter Alanson went hiking and watched as his 'friend', Benjamin Hart, pushed him off a cliff.
He died from blood loss over the course of three hours, twenty-seven minutes and ten seconds.
And then he opened his eyes to see the one he had struck a deal with. This time, not to make another deal, but to spend an eternity in the demon's debt.
Hawk–often called Hawkeye by friends because of his name–stood, mouth agape. "L-listen, I can explain! I didn't expect to die again, alright?" Hawk was wearing his denim jacket and white shirt–bloodied from where the sharp rock had pierced through his abdomen–and black jeans with high tops. His hair was a dyed charcoal grey, and his eyes the color of clouds before a storm.
