At my eighteenth-birthday party, my cousin gave me a scratch-off lottery ticket with half the coating already scratched off as a coming-of-age gift.
But when he realized I'd won twenty yuan, he suddenly offered to buy the ticket from me for two hundred thousand yuan.
I thought it was strange and refused.
My cousin went berserk, cursing me and wishing me dead before pushing me off a high-rise in front of all the guests.
Dozens of people there, including my own parents, silently approved. They all called me a disgrace who deserved to die.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back half an hour earlier.
My cousin tossed out that same scratch-off ticket with a mocking grin and said the exact same words.
