I stand there looking at him blankly. “What do you mean? I can kill her, finally!” I say to my friend Anna, who stands behind me.“They will be after us big time, what are you talking about!” Anna exclaims. I turn back to the man who swears I won’t be caught. “I want a magic staff!” I finally shout to the man, “can’t catch me if it’s not real!” “Are you sure?” Anna and the man say. “Of course I’m sure, I am desperate after all. Anyways what shall I call you sir?” “My name is Matrix and I will find you when it’s ready.” I nod and Anna and I walk back towards the party where we pretend everything is normal.

The next day I woke up and walked to work like normal. The day after that was normal too. I decided to stop thinking about the staff and how much I could hurt him, but it wasn’t just me that changed, I noticed everybody soon forgot all about the party. “Hey Nalla, when is your next party? It’s been years since we got together and talked!” Amber exclaimed as I walked into the bar. Amber had a beer in her hand but soon threw it away. I told her not now and walked straight up to the bartender. “How goes it Nalla?” Jeff asks. “You, me, car, now!” I say through gritted teeth. “What’s up?” He asks. “Your dealer hasn’t come through!” I say as calmly as possible. “He will don’t worry Nalla. Now did you only ask me to the car for that?” He says and quirks his eyebrow. “Yes,” and I get out afraid that I might care to much.

The next day I get stopped by my boyfriend, “what’s wrong, you haven’t talked to me in a long time. Am I not good enough?” He adds jokingly. I tell him I haven’t felt good and kiss him before making up something to escape.

Over the next week I wait patiently. I soon realize it’s not coming, until the next day. When I wake up I can tell it’s not a normal day. I walk out to take out the trash and then it’s there. Sitting by the enormous can. I pick it up. Damn it! What do I do now?
