Irish Grove Entrepreneur Sued

     For Claiming soul

Lucas: Alexi Dice Dorn runs a small bookstore and cafe just off the tiny Morris College Campus. Towering book shelves divide the cramped antique interior of the store into book-lined canyons where students read and have intensely earnest discussions over latté or espresso. Among these patrons, most know that Dorn is something of an occult scholar and that he holds private discussions at in his tome-strewn office. But many wonder at the strangely troubling law suit brought against him by the parents of a Morris College sophomore recently killed in a traffic accident. According to the suit, Dorn allegedly owns the deceased student's soul.

     "I thought he was cutting Steve a break," says bookstore patron Roger Anselm. "Alexi said he'd give him for car repairs if he could put up something as collateral and Steve said he could have his soul. Steve was just kidding Alexi because of all his occult bullshit, you know. But Alexi just pulls out this old fashioned pen and this real wicked-looking knife and tells Steve he has to sign the agreement in blood. He was trying to freak out Steve. These guys were daring each other, it was pretty funny to watch, really. So, Steve cuts open his palm and signs the contract with his own blood. Had a devil of a time making an 'S' with it."

     Michael Luftengel, attorney for Steve Allman's parents, believes Dorn now holds onto the strange document out of pure malevolence.

     "My clients are devout Roman Catholics. After the accident, they found out about the agreement and were horrified that their son had conceived of such a deal. They earnestly requested Mr. Dorn to surrender the contract and even promised to pay the thousand dollar loan with interest. Mr. Dorn has consistently refused. What we're going to show in court is that Dorn is now using this document as a way to harass my clients because of their religious beliefs and is thus violating their civil rights."

     No court date for the case has been set. Alexi Dorn himself has meanwhile refused any comment on the case.
