“ESCAPE CLAUSE”
by Rod Serling
1962
ISBN: 978-0962344732
A hypochondriac makes a deal with the devil. Now he has eternal youth and cannot be harmed by any means; what could go wrong?
Mean-spirited, abusive hypochondriac Walter Bedeker sells
his soul to the devil (appearing as a rotund rogue who calls himself "Ted
Cadwallader" here, as he likes the way the name rolls off his tongue) in
exchange for immortality, adding enough conditions to keep him out of
Cadwallader's clutches forever. To Bedeker's surprise, Cadwallader readily
agrees to his demands, only stipulating an escape clause which allows Bedeker
to choose the time of his death if he tires of being immortal.
