I bound myself to the Bragging Comes True System.
Whenever someone brags in front of me, what they brag about comes true for me.
At our class reunion, the class monitor said, “I make five million a year.”
The next second, I got a message from my company saying I’d been promoted and given a raise.
A fake friend said, “My family never has to worry about money. To me, it’s just a number.”
Then I got a message from my parents saying our house was being demolished and we’d receive compensation.
My cheating ex-boyfriend bragged too: “That Maserati downstairs is mine.”
I looked down and rummaged through my bag.
Sure enough, my electric scooter key had turned into a Maserati key.
