Sometimes evil happens for good

Ryan is a down on his luck good hearted square by the book type of guy. He’s an MBA but in his youth he was not so wise and got into trouble with the law and earned himself a felony and it’s hindered his financial status dramatically but he’s making it comfortably but he is not content. He stays optimistic and Ryan often says to himself “if I could just get $20,000 at one time I could start a whole new life.” I’d be able to put a nice down payment on house and start a pop-up restaurant with cannabis themed food. As Ryan is thinking and talking out loud walking to his car he noticed a man laying down on bleeding badly in the street. Ryan then runs over to the unknown man bleeding in the street.

When Ryan makes it over to the man laying in a pool of blood hardly breathing. Ryan yelled at the man telling him to “hold on help is on the way” the man then spoke. He said my time has passed here on earth and I’ve lived a selfish life and I was rich but I now only have $20,000 left to my name and I want you to have it.

The man then reached into his pocket and gave Ryan a “little black book” with an address written in the central page of the book. The man told Ryan “go to that address on the central page of the this special little black book. He then said “you find the money at a abandoned warehouse in a drywall safe that he made there.” After the mysterious man told Ryan the location of the money he shortly slipped away and died in the street before the ambulance arrived. The mysterious man was stabbed badly and left for dead he didn’t bother to tell Ryan his name and he didn’t bother to ask. When the EMTs showed up they rushed to check his vitals and then they shortly said he’s gone and there’s nothing more that we can do. Then the EMTs zipped him up in a body bag and took him away.

Ryan was shaken to his core because he was just saying “if he could just get $20,000 at one time” and then it literally fell into his lap out of the blue. Ryan is not flat broke he’s saved the money that he has made and he’s in a better position than the average person but he remains humble because there’s always more to do.

Ryan went back in the house and went to sleep because he had loss his appetite after all the drama that had taken place just moments ago. And as he slept the man that died in the street appeared to him in his dream and said to Ryan “Remember to do all that you said you would do with the $20,000 because if you don’t you’ll surely die. Do not turn your back on your good nature and then Ryan said I understand.” Ryan then awoke from his sleep feeling fully rested and excited. He got dressed got into his car and Ryan then typed the address from the little black book into his GPS and he drove to address. When he arrived he noticed how oddly desolate this large industry area was it was so quiet you could hear the claws of rodents scratching against the cement faintly.

When Ryan got to the drywall safe he broke through it with a rubber hammer and behold the $20,000 was there in two ziplock bags in all 100 dollar bills inside a vacuum sealed bag in a backpack. He took the backpack and as he was walking away to his car creepy voices said “remember” in faint tones of voice. Ryan thought what he was hearing was all in his head but he was wrong he had surely heard the voices of ghosts urging him to remember his words. But when Ryan had the money secured into his bank account he changed and decided he do nothing he said that he would do with the 20k and went a bought bunch of drugs from his cousin on a foolish get rich quick scheme. Ryan was always smart with money had circumstances been different he would have likely risen to the occasion but he was not dealing with normal circumstances. All the drugs he bought went bad suddenly and were now worthless. The drugs had absolutely no potency.

Ryan tried figure out how could that happen he thought what was happening to him was impossible. Then he heard voices screaming faintly “deceiver” and then Ryan began to be very afraid because he had a sudden flashback and remembered that the man that died in the street told him in a dream that “he would surely die if he did not do what he said he would do with the money.” There was no one or nothing that could save Ryan. Ryan tried to get out of his house but all the doors and windows were welded shut over night. And as Ryan slept a floating black mist that appeared to be a shadow flew inside his nose. The black mist poisoned Ryan’s mind overnight.

Ryan started to go insane because his house was transformed into a giant casket with no way in or out and he was hearing voices to the point that he couldn’t take it anymore. Ryan went and got his gun he stashed at the top of his closet then he put the gun into his mouth and squeezed the trigger. The next morning miraculously Ryan’s house was back to normal and no one in his neighborhood noticed anything out of the ordinary. Ryan’s fiancé used her key and when she found Ryan lying down dead in an twisted position on the floor she screamed. And then she looked up at the wall behind him and his brains were splattered on the wall formed into of words that read “Becareful What You Wish For.”
