Satan sends an emissary to a horror story publisher so that he will read the scroll of suffering and be transported to Hell. Satan wants his soul because the stories he publishes turn people away from evil, but he cannot collect it until he is dead, so he puts the curse of Satan upon the publisher to kill the first person he sees (as then he will be executed for the crime), and sends him back.
