The story itself. I was then about 13-14 years old. I remember there was a winter vacation. It's cold - you can't take a walk. There were no computers then.
In general, at that time I whiled away my leisure time reading books. I remember that I came across a book with either English or Irish tales. And there I read a fairy tale, where, according to the plot, one poor man decided to sell his soul to an unclean one, and there even the method was described.
For obvious reasons, I will not fully describe it, but in short, you need to draw up a contract yourself, describing your request, in exchange for which you sell your soul, respectively, sign and put this “document” under your pillow for the night.
If in the morning you find a paper signed with the second signature, then the deal has taken place. Pancake!
And this is in the book with CHILDREN'S fairy tales! Well, accordingly, curiosity is our everything! And I decided to try it! What I asked for there, I don't even remember - many years have passed. But this "document" was concocted by me rather briskly.
I did everything and went to bed. And in the morning (you know, such a state when you are going to get up, but then you wake up, then you fall back into a shallow sleep, and it seems like you are sleeping and not sleeping) I woke up, I remember about this piece of paper, I’m all going to put my hand under the pillow (here is now) and fall asleep again, and so several times.
I hear my mom getting ready for work, but I just can't wake up completely. And in another such sleepy "failure" I dream that I still stick my hand under the pillow, take out this agreement - there is no second signature, but a loud male bass is heard:
"GENDER, STATE YOUR GENDER !!!"

Mom dear! I jumped up in a cold sweat, my heart was pounding, that voice still sounded in my ears (even after so many years I remember it). In short, I ran to burn it all over the burner and, one might say, escaped with a slight fright!
Until now, I apologize to God for this stupidity! And so that it could be with me, if I had written the agreement “correctly”! In conclusion, I want to say that there is no need to go where it is not supposed to, no matter how trite it sounds.
You should not experience the dark forces, especially out of curiosity and in anticipation of "special effects".
Thanks to everyone who read my story to the end.
