a story of revenge by K.K. (me)
Plot- a very wealthy man loses the ability to move his legs in a car accident. He goes to the hospital and asks for anything they can do. They say there is one experimental procedure, but it is too risky. After pleading and begging, he accepts his NO from the hospital and leaves, very depressed. As he is going by an alley, a figure steps out of the shadows. She offers him a guaranteed complete mobility for a hefty fee. He promptly agrees. But there is one condition, every year he has to pay the mysterious figure 200,000 dollars. He agrees, thinking that it was a small price for having the use his legs back. He pays his initial fee up front. Then the lady comes out of the shadows, and her face is so wrecked, it is unforgettable. She tells him to close his eyes and he complies. And all you see her do is tap his leg with her cane. She tells him the deed is done and walks away before he can yell at her. He is angry as hell, thinking that he just got conned. A few days later he wakes up because his toe itches. At first he is frustrated until he realizes that he can feel his toe. Then he stands up. He is overjoyed and he soon forgets about his deal with the mystery woman. This experience gets his brain flowing, and his company becomes the top seller. His wealth increases greatly. A year passes and he runs into the woman on the street. She is looking very bad. She asks him for her payment of $200,000, she is really sick and she can’t pay the hospital bills. But the man is still angry at her for conning him and he tells her to go away. She argues that he can walk and he needs to hold up his part of the deal. He yells at her and walks away. As he is walking away, she hits him in the leg with her cane. A few months later he is reading his newspaper and the obituaries catch his eye. He reads “Jane Doe” and above is the woman who had conned him. He shrugs it off and says better her than me. Later that day he is driving to the office and his toe starts to itch, he doesn’t think much of it. At the office he starts having trouble walking, but he manages to get to the car. He starts to drive and gets on the highway. He is really worried so he is hurrying to get home. All of a sudden, his legs freeze up and he can’t stop pressing down on the accelerator. His speed is rising quickly and he is freaking out by now. All of a sudden the jane doe (the ghost) appears right in front of the car. He swerves and hits the barrier and his car spins out of control and he crashes head on with an oncoming semi. Then he wakes up in a hospital. The doctor sees his eyebrow twitch and decides the patient might be awake. He explains that the patient is completely paralyzed and he is lucky to be alive. “ lucky for you, you’ve enough money to cover your hospital bills.” Then the doctor leaves. And the ghost shows up again. And says something like: “you feel that itch, don’t you? Well no one can scratch it for you. That is the itch of your guilty conscience and it is eternal. Then the ghost fades away.
