A curse

A suspicious man had an implacable enemy in his entire life. He was an indeed fierce competitor to him no matter when he was studying in school or advancing his career in the business world now. This anxious man put all his effort into defeating his enemy but his effort was in vain. He once swore to himself that he would find a way to destroy this natural enemy.

This was a night with a blue moon hanging in the sky. The blue moon existed only once in six years. It was said that the evil spirit would become the strongest empowered by the blue planet. The man found a wizard who knew black magic. When he stepped into the room, inexplicable coldness went through his spine and ran to the tip of his hair. The gloomy room with only a red candle lit up on a small table was deadly quiet. Soon the wizard dressed in black emerged from the shadow of the room. The suspicious man uttered his request.

‘I know real black magic, the most powerful and evil one among all. But I don’t recommend it to you unless you…’ The wizard frowned.

‘I have made up my mind. I’m willing to sacrifice everything for it! I will never regret.’ He said with a strong determination. Hatred filled his eyes.

The wizard unwillingly took out a doll made of straw. ‘What’s the name of your enemy?’ The wizard whispered the question with hesitation.

‘Thomas Wilson Walter!’ The man replied with great excitement in his voice.

A small piece of paper written ‘Thomas Wilson Walter’ was put inside the straw doll. The wizard then pinned several needles in its ‘arms’, ‘legs’ and ‘body’.

The man went home feeling relieved and satisfied. At the moment he sat on the sofa, he felt pain all over his limbs and his body. It was like millions of needles hitting onto him.

‘My enemy must have cast the same curse on me. How wicked he is!’ The man groaned. The pain was becoming fiercer. Never had his hatred for his enemy become more intense. He took the straw doll out and penetrated the doll with more needles. The doll’s head and his body were all covered with needles. But the more needles he drove into the doll, the more painful he was. His head was burning with pain and he could not see clearly. He fell onto the floor.

‘Stop it! Stop it! You devilish man!’ He yelled and screamed but the pain did not end. He crawled on the floor. He bit his lip with his teeth. He took the last breath. He was dead.  

The police arrived and checked the identity of the dead man. It was found that he was a businessman who lived alone and his name was Thomas Wilson Walter. The police also found some medical reports in his drawer. They stated that Mr. Walter was confirmed suffering from mental disorder. He had dual personality.
