Scully decided to try it, to see if her partner would suddenly reappear as quickly as he vanished. Scully hurried to her closet - she knew that in a suit that had just been dry-cleaned, a pin that fitted the appropriate description tacked a tag onto the cloth. The tag fluttered to the floor as she grasped the pin and extracted it from the cloth. She held the pin in her and looked at her couch, barely believing she was doing this. "Devil, I pin thee," she said aloud, pushing the pin into the arm. No sooner had she done it, there was a knock at her door. It was Mulder. THE END!!!! Another reminder for feedback: valmoria@eisa.net.au More Author's Notes: This superstition really works, guys -- the words can either be "Devil, I pin thee" or "I pin thee my Devil" -- for the purposes of this story I chose the shorter one. But it really works! After losing a $150 graphical calculator, I tried it as a joke, and then happened to knock some papers behind a shelf . . . guess what I found while I was retrieving them?
