The dictaphone

Angie went home, unable to know if she still wanted to live or not. Well, no : she knew she didn't want to anymore. Except for one thing : revenge. If she had to live, it would be for this. Her heart was full of despair and hate, and she eventually reached her house and her bedroom wondering if she should call someone as she knew she was going crazy. But once she was crying on her bed, hearing again all the taunts and humiliations from earlier, she caught sight of the dictaphone, waiting for her in a corner of her room.

Sniffing, she walked to it, picked it up, and unsure of her own sanity, pressed the record button to know if her crazy hopes were right. If they were not, she'd have to consider a tall building as the only option remaining for her to escape this world of pain. She expected herself to record something impressive to test the dictaphone, but the only thing that came out of her mouth was : "I'm not crying !" like she wanted so much to stop the pain it was the first thing that came to her. She felt ridiculous, and it make her even angrier against the rest of the world.

To her surprise, the dictaphone emitted a sparkling sound, and the slightly slouching Angy felt her body being move by some invisible force, as she found herself standing straight, her eyes cleared by themselves just like her nose, and Angie found herself like she hadn't even cried at all, and the handkerchiefs on the bed vanished in thin air to her surprise, like she had never cried at all. Angie realized that she had just the most incredibly powerful artifact she could dream on to make the most ridiculous wish ever. But the most important thing was...

... it worked.

Angie felt the anger in her growing as she had now the power to release her. She could change anything. She only lived for revenge, and she has more that she could dream of to do it. She laughed madly, all sanity leaving her, as she felt her fingers shaking above the record button, as ready as she was to shout the most insane things that would make her revenge incredible, impossible... better than anything.
