At work people are talking about a thunderstorm that happened last night, Terry thought that the thunderstorm was only in his dream.
He's cleaning a statue when a kid about 8 years of age behind him asks if the statue is of Hercules, Terry replies "No, its Aristotle" he tries to come across friendly but he's fed up of people asking him questions, the kid walks away without acknowledging Terry. "Moron" Terry says under his breath. He goes to clean another priceless object, the sign reads "Peter the great. (Fabergé egg)", Terry looks up, there's no golden Fabergé egg, just a book, it's very worn down, and it's hard to read the title, Terry squints and makes out the words "DARK MAGIC", Terry walks off to go ask his co-worker John if the sign is wrong. John looks confused "the Fabergé egg should be there, not that stupid book, some blind moron must have read the sign wrong and put that book on the stand instead of the egg"
John tells Terry to take the book to the storage room while he gets the egg. Terry tries to pick up the book but it gives him an electric shock, he tries again, it gives him another electric shock "what the hell?".
John arrives with the golden egg gripped tightly in between his sweaty palms, "I told you to take the book to storage for Christs sake", Terry clenches his jaw "I can't pick it up, it gives me an electric shock", John scoffs "Aaah I'm so scared" He puts the golden egg on the floor carefully and tries to pick up the book, John picks it up "what we're you saying about an electric shock", Terrys Jaw loosens "b-but, I swear it gav-" Terry questions himself "am I going insane?" John puts the golden egg on the stand and walks off.
