Twenty-Eight And a Half Wishes
“I slid the container on the top shelf and noticed a six-pack of beer, two of the bottles gone. I bent over, hanging on the door as I peeked in and tried to figure out how they got there.

Because I knew something like that was bound to happen; Momma said n...othing good ever came from a bottle of beer.At the thought of Momma, my rebellion broke loose and burst out, filling me with thoughts of evilness.

It took me nearly a full minute to figure out how to get the metal cap off and once I did, I held it in front of me. This was it. The moment I embraced evil.
