I'm trying to remember the name of this short story. AFAIR the guy wants someone killed so he hires a hitman to kill the person, but the hitman says he will get a discount if he choses some more people to kill. The buy then finds some more people but the hitman says again that if he finds more X ...

Read this short story 10-20 years ago, don't know where. Premise is that this fighter pilot dies, and the Devil offers to dogfight him for his soul (I think his soul was going to be consigned to purgatory otherwise). Fighter pilot agrees and does some cleverness involved in choosing the planes (e...

I’m thinking of getting an Abraxan from the Grassland, but first, I need to know how to breed them. Can you help me a bit? (No, I am not)
