So after a long pause which I regret, I am back with a new story. This story is all about the mundane superstitions in the west as well as in India. So the idea of the story is this.
Chapterwise story listing -> The Superstition
The Truth and Dare game was simple. There was an empty glass bottle which was rotated in between the circle made by all the players. When the bottle stopped the person in front of the bottle’s cap was asked “Truth or Dare”. He or She had to choose one.
If he or she chose truth than he or she was asked a question for which he or she had to give the correct answer.
If the person had chosen dare then he or she was given a task which he or she had to fulfill or they would lose.
So in this round Dazz was on the victim side of the bottle and Courtney on the asking side. She asked, “Truth or Dare.”
To impress Rachel, he said, “Dare.”
Rachel was thinking that Courtney would ask him to kiss her but she didn’t. She asked worse. “Your dare is you’ll have to go and catch a wild animal from the jungle and don’t come back without one.”
It was a bad idea as it was still night time.Although Dazz had never hunted before, he accepted the challenge and said, “Okay, I’ll be back.”
Dazz stood up and vanished in the darkness. Rachel got worried. The sun came up and still there was no sign of Dazz. Something was wrong. Rachel woke Courtney and others up and requested them to help her find Dazz as he was missing. She made the others follow her towards the direction Dazz went. After some time they found a weak bridge. On their side of the bridge a note was there.
It read,
If I have still not returned than you’ll find this note.
I’m on the other side of the bridge and I might need helpDazz Randolph

The Boss was sitting right in front of me. For the first time in my life, his face was not in the shadow. He looked hideous. He stood up and offered me a seat. I chose to stand. I could not afford a wrong choice now. He said, “So Eden. As you are the only one who has successfully chosen right for two consecutive games. This could be your third one. You just have to choose right.”
“Okay, so what’s the choice about? Give me the options.” I said nervously.
The boss went towards the window. He called me there. He said, “Look outside the window.”
I was really good at this, observation was my cup of tea. Looking out the window, I saw what he was trying to make me see. I observed every small thing. It was dark and I could see other buildings. He pulled me back in but I wasn’t finished. Now he asked, “What was Priyanka Chopra, the Indian actress holding in the advertisement on one of the buildings?”
I didn’t know the answer. Loss of this round was imminent and then I’ll be condemned to serve The Boss forever. I went through my photographic memory. It was no use. I didn’t quite finish seeing out of the window. This was a trick. I said, “There was no advertisement board outside.” The Boss frowned. He said, “Congratulations, Eden Hex! You did it again.”
The Second Chance
I was so relieved and happy. Now the boss said, “As promised you have two wishes. Ask anything.” I asked the unexpected, “I want everything the way it was. I wish I hadn’t met anything related to the paradox and never want to come back to the paradox ever again and the second wish is I want to remember all of this.” The wish was granted…
I woke up in my old hideous life with my over loving mother and my irritating sister. My life wasn’t what I wanted it to be but I was happy and that’s all that matters. The moral I got out of my Paradox encounter was that you would get what was promised to you when your time is right and you are not supposed to go for shortcuts.
