A Wish to Good to Be True!
*Spoiler Alert! This story is an imaginary alternate ending to the movie Nightmare Alley.*

As I hide in the cargo compartment of this huge ship, all tired and weary, I can't help but reflect back to the many days that were once beautiful from the start, but have now turned to nothing but dust. Fortunately, I had enough penny to bribe the cargo loading worker to get in here without anyone noticing anything.

"The perks of being an assistant of a then
famous psychic of Buffalo City", I thought to myself bitterly though he never paid me for my assistance, I couldn't help but take the few bucks left at the hotel of the suite we once both shared together. I look at Bruno, Zina and major mosquito and the sight of them sleeping peacefully with no care in the world whatsoever almost makes me jealous since I'm not getting even the slightest bit of sleep even when the time on my wristwatch reads 2am.

It's hard to sleep as each time I close my eyes, all I can see is the brutal bloodshed that occurred at the hands of my lover and all I did was stand there partly frozen at the sight of two men being killed in cold-blood with one of them even begging him to
stop...
