“Why don’t you wear it?”
My bestfriend, Kat, came over to console me after the loss of my mother. But really she wanted a chance to look through my mother’s jewelry. And I don’t blame her. Ever since I was little I watched my mother take such good care of her rings and necklaces. Better care than she took with me. And now it was all mine. Even her ring…
“Be careful with that. She’s going to be buried wearing it.”
“Why?”
“She claimed it was magic. Whoever wears it ends up cursed forever. Take it off…and you die…”
