I always knew my father in-law hated me, but I never thought he would use magic to get rid of me. Seven months ago, I got my girlfriend Kim pregnant. I knew her father was going to be upset, he was probably going to have me killed or something. One afternoon, we told him about how Kim was pregnant. He didn’t even get a little upset. He even congratulated both of us. It was kind of scary, that wasn’t even close to the reaction we were expecting.
It’s my first time in L.A. I was talking a walk, when I saw a black purse lying on the floor. “I should take a look at it, and have returned to the owner” I thought. I picked up the purse, and looked inside, there was no id, nothing, just a few sex toys and a bracelet. “The owner must have been some kinky girl…” I took a look at the bracelet, it looked like it really was made out of gold, and in its inner side there was an engraving. “You are the owner of this purse. Enjoy your new life.” Funny, I thought. I should leave the purse where I found it, maybe the owner will pick it up later.
Kyle was thinking about what he has done with his teacher as he walked through the school corridor, his action was reckless and he knew about it. He console himself knowing that Mrs. Holden was much happier like that and everyone at school had gained a great teacher. “I need to be more carefull with this” Kyle said looking at the remote. He was so absorbed, he didn’t saw his two best friends, Mark and Colin coming from the opposite direction, the boys also didn’t notice him as they were distracted by something on their phones. Kyle spotted them in the last moment but it was already too late and they bumped into each other. Kyle fell down from the impact and just before hitting the ground he heard the familiar noise of the remote.
I have never been a gambling person but when my roommate David suggested betting on the Oscars I was confused. He explained to me how fun it was so I agreed, thinking I was harmless fun. He voted for Leonardo DeCaprio, and I voted for Matt Damon.
I knew my daughter was up to no good. She was dating a loser. An I am pretty sure that he was getting her into drugs or stealing. But whenever I confronted her, she just denied everything and got mad. She doesn’t understand that it hasn’t been easy being a single father, and I just want to take care of her.
“My grandma gave it to me two days ago. It´s a magic rabbits foot. She said it granted wishes to the one holding it”. For some reason that didn´t make Marie even less furious. I better acted quickly.
“I wish that Marie was thinking like a guy”, I said and rubbed the foot.
“You wished wha…”
Her speech was cut off abruptly. If you were looking into her eyes you could almost see her cogwheels grinding to a halt, stop completely and then start turning the other way.
Marie´eyes glazed over for a second before she came around.
I woke up, I was in a strange bed. I walked to the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked tired, like I had sex all night. I was wearing my normal clothes, a red shirt and some jeans. Then I remembered last night a made out with a really kinky waitress. I remember her being so hot.
I was heading back late to my dormitory through the student hall, done for the evening with one of my extra-curricular activities.
Further up ahead a door opened and a blonde girl exited the room carrying her heels, red jacket and leather purse in her hands, and her hair was in a mess. It didn´t take a genius to understand why a girl like her was doing in the guys dorms.
She had to head in my direction if she wanted to exit the building.
When she came closer to me I couldn´t help it but to burst into a wide smile, look her in the eyes and comment: “You seem like you´ve had an good evening”.
She seemed like a good sport because she smiled back at me. “You betcha!”. Then she gave me this weird look. “Why don´t you try it for yourself?”, and and gave me a quick poke on the forehead with her index and middle finger, giving me an electric discharge.
“Ouch!”
It was decades ago. Back then my name ws John. I was driving home after a long work day. It was raining, I could barely see, I got distracted and drove my car out the road. I hit my head and lost consciousness. My car fell inside a lake. I was drowning. Actually, I am pretty sure that for 2 seconds I was dead. Lighting hit my car. It reanimated me. I swam out of my car. As I reached the door asking for some one to help me. I realized somethings had changed. My voice was high pitched, my body looked different, more slender, plus, my skin was even lighter.
Kyle was daydreaming during his math lessons, with the remote in his hand. He still felt good, knowing that he got rid of the bully thanks to it, maybe he could be like some kind of superhero. His dreams were interrupted by a loud shout “Wallington! Stand up!” His teacher was angry. Kyle rised from his chair immidiately, looking at the angry face of Mr. Novak. Mr. Novak was Kyle’s nightmare, he was grumpy and very demanding to his students. He was in his early 40’s but from what Kyle heard he never had a wife.
“I see Mr. Wallington you’re pretty bored by my lessons. let me hear then how you would resolve this problem” He pointed at the chalkboard. Kyle gulped, he can’t get another bad grade, his parents already told him he will be grounded for life with no computer, no phone and no allowance. “Think Kyle, Think” He was starting to panic. He looked at the remote in his hand “No i can’t” He rejected the idea. “We’re waiting” Mr. Novak was loosing his patience. “Or maybe” Kyle thought and started to type. “What! Wallington are you playing with your phone?!” Mr. Novak couldn’t belive. “You just made your situation alot worse” Kyle could see the fury in his eyes, but he didn’t have the time for it now, he was typing as fast as he could, his fingers were sweating. When he finished he pressed the button nad closed his eyes. The shouts of his teacher had subsided.
