The Lucky Pill

Awkward Encounter

It was a lonely night for me yet again. I was having my shower when I head the phone ring. I got out of the shower and rang the number back but it was a private number, "I thought I blocked all telemarketers!" I said as I put the phone down and got dressed.

I walked out of my room and into the living room were I turned the TV on, nothing on but adds, as I flicked through them one of them caught my eye. As I changed to it it said

"You on the couch scratching your belly!" Then I changed the channel, realising that I was scratching my belly when it said that I changed back to see if it was a joke. "Hey, you had to check twice didn't you? Yes I was talking to you but if you want to leave you can just change the channel again." I wasn't sure what to do so I asked.

"Are you actually talking to me or is this a joke?" I was feeling really stupid talking to my TV but it shocked me when the guy responded to my question.

"Yeah I was I mean your name is Ice blu/cloude and you live alone, haven't had sex in"

"Wow wow now I know how long. What did you want or how are doing this?"

"Well I'm not allowed to say how but I am allowed to try and sell you this lucky night pill." He said shaking a container rattling with tablets.

"What the hell are those and why would I need them?"

"It says here on the packet... Just kidding I know what it is I'm not that stupid. Well if you take one in the morning you have a very good dream that night and then supposedly if you have one once in the morning for a week your nights get luckier and the luck you have depends on what you've been lacking in life."

"Well that doesn't seem the most trust worthy how much are you asking for something that shitty?"

"Hey now! It's not bad several hundred thousand people have given good comments on it. We're asking two dollars for a lucky night and we can discuss if you want to get more from then."

"Fine how do I pay?"

"Throw two dollars at your TV."

"What? Your kidding."

"Yep just throw it at the TV, it doesn't matter how hard you throw so long as it can actually reach the TV."

"Fine this is stupid but I'm throwing it now." I threw it and it went through and he caught it. I was gobsmacked at what just happened. He checked the coin and looked at me smiling.

"Okay now just walk away from the TV and check your front door step, enjoy your lucky night." The door bell rang and I walked to the door and opened it. There was a capsule on the floor mat with a piece of paper that said 'don't ever have more than three tablets in one 24 hour period.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, reading or looking at but the next morning I woke up and took the pill and went about my day normally until that night.
