Be careful what you wish for...

Mary was the average Jane. A dull life, average looks, she was a secretary in a law firm.
She couldn’t say she lacked something in her life, she could afford her rent, even get some luxuries now and then. Her boyfriend loved her like she was Aphrodite descended from the waters.
Still, when Mary sighed, you could clearly see right in her mind a dream. The dream of a glamorous life, spectacular and always renewing.

Mary came back home later. Her car had a blown tire, she had to call a taxi, her coat was drenched in water. And when she reached the door, she found that there was no need for searching the keys in the cheap imitation of a Gucci purse she carried with her.

“Oh, great”, she thought “I’ve even forgot to lock the door. Or maybe some thief entered. Like there were something to stole”

She carefully walked into the house, picking up while in the corridor the baseball left there by her sporty boyfriend.

“Please, come here. We meant no harm”, said a silky voice, coming from the kitchen. “Go on Mary…”.
