Wicked Pleasure

 

He was in a great mood because two hours ago,
he cheated a stranger out of some money. He still
remembered what the stranger said before leaving:
"I curse you! You'll regret this!"

He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how
furious the stranger had been when he left. After having
a good laugh, he went back to chopping wood. That was
when he began to feel that something wasn't quite right.

He felt the axe getting heavier while his body grew colder.

And there he was, still basking in the wicked pleasure of it all,
unaware that the curse had already begun to work its magic.
