Vanessa sat exhausted in her very expensive car, with her very expensive driver who was hired from a very expensive talent agency that her expensive dad chooses from the very expensive website with his very expensive computer. Vanessa was really tired of her life, but don’t misunderstand she like her rich life.
Anyway, she was at this moment, lamenting about her misfortune. She is the lady of the rich family, the Crittenden family. It was a very rich family who owns many expensive factories that produces expensive products that sold very expensive to rich people. That’s why her family is so rich.
But no matter how much money she has, her life just seems to be so terrible. All kinds of life problems keep creeping into her. Her own self also seems to be not that great with self-esteem problems and her inability to speak for herself. She just feels tired from all of this.
She looks out from her expensive car window, there she saw out there walking on the cheap roadside was a group of girls from her school. They just walking with a happy smiles on their faces, gossiping around and just having fun with their life, oh how much she wanted them to just sit here, walking her life and suffering all her misfortune.
She sighed as to how much she wished for that, nothing will ever happen. She turn her head around and forces herself not to look at other people walking on the cheap roadside, just having fun with their life. She looked around her expensive car that actually very empty, without any stuff that all other poor people ever imagine a rich kid car would have like beer, television, or Jacuzzi. Nothing and it is because of her strict demon mother who just couldn’t leave her life be.
She sighed yet again, her heartfelt so heavy, remembering that she must face her again when she reached her home. She just felt really frustrated but terrified with her demon mother who always wanted her life to be how she wanted to be. Vanessa just thought that if she wanted to control her life, then why not just take it?!. Then she couldn’t help it and looked outside again, wanting to see how others enjoy their cheap life. She looked out and coincidently saw a peculiar store which was a really old wooden store just standing between the tall concrete building around it, sticking out like a sore thumb.
“Danny, could you stop at that store please?.” She said to her driver with the quiet voice she used in her daily life. Danny is the name of the driver who came from the expensive agency. Fortunately, one thing in her rich life that wasn’t unfortunately is her father who always dotes on her. Danny was one of the gifts that were given to her so he is rather kind to her.
“But milady, if you were to be late at home, madam would be very angry would she?.” Kindly reminded Danny as he feared for his milady to suffer from her mother again.
“Well…” Vanessa too doesn’t want that to happen, but for some reason, at this moment of her life, she just wanted to be rebellious.
“No, just stop here, I wanted to go to that store.” Said her again with a bit more volume.
“But milady-“
“Dan, please listen to me, just stop here okay?.” Stated Vanessa with out-of-place determination.
“Okay milady.” He then stopped the very expensive car beside the cheap roadside. Danny got out of the expensive car and opened the door for his milady. Vanessa got out of the car with graceful manner that was hammered to her by her demon mother. She looked at the store sign that said ‘Charles Weyrd shop’.
“What a weird shop.” She said as she looks at the old decrepitated store that seems to come from middle age or something. The atmosphere of the place seems really bleak and dirty of the sort, it seems to be a favorite place for rat and pest hideout. A creepy aura just radiated from it.
Vanessa ignores the scary imagery the store seems to want their costumer to felt. Vanessa walked to their door. She curiously touched the wooden wall, but to her surprise, the wood that seems really old didn’t felt fragile. On the contrary, it felt like a robust wood that was made for furniture.
“Weird.” Danny just stood behind his milady, just being an obedient little dog for his master. Vanessa walked inside the store and saw rows of rack that was filled with weird stuff. She walked down those racks and found things like glass ball like that in fortune-telling, a box of ring with a really shiny ring that seems to exude malevolent aura, a mask with no feature at all, a necklace with a bewitching vibe on it, and other things with ominous aura radiating from them.
Vanessa ignore those and looked at her front where the counter of the store was placed. It was an old wooden counter with a mechanic cashier machine you saw in the 90s. Behind the counter were a creepy hunchback old man that seems to always smile with a creepy smile and dirty teeth.
“Welcome young lady to my antique shop. All kinds of desire would be answered in this store. Come in with curiosity, out with a heart full of satisfaction.” Said the old man joyfully, but weirdly his mouth never open, the voice just came out of his mouth with his mouth opening.
“Oookaay… That was weird, but anyway you said any desire would be answered here?.” Said Vanessa inquisitively.
“Oh yeah definitely. Come let me show you something that would certainly fulfill your heart's desire.” Said the old man waving toward Vanessa to move closer to his counter. Vanessa obliged with a worried look and cautious step.
The old man then put his hand below the counter to grab something there. He then pulled a thing from under the counter. What is it?
