The Curse

The Curse

He’s so lucky, he guessed randomly at every answer and got a perfect score on his SATs. Scored a dream job when a random man fell on him while choking on a Skittle, thus accidentally heimliching the almost-ex-CFO of PepsiCo. Once, a rich woman’s escaped corgi literally jumped into his arms. Soon after, they became lovers (he and the woman, not he and the dog). She died a year later, leaving him all her wealth, despite him being a passive lover (luckily, she was into that). He fears his luck may soon run out, but we both know it won’t.
