Ezra Phantoms was a kid who got the short end of the stick when it came to luck in life. Not only was he unlucky, he was also a pretty odd kid. His oddness combined with his unlucky nature made his life very difficult for him to tolerate at times. He was aware of how unlucky he was but not how odd he was. To him, everybody else were the odd ones. This had made his life a living hell. His bad luck made it feel so much like this that he actually came to the conclusion that he had a curse. Now of course, this was more or less a joke to him. He knew that he wasn't actually cursed. Well, at least that's what he thought. To his surprise, that conclusion wasn't just superstition. Soon though, this trait of his that made his life Hell would help make everybody else's lives feel like Heaven. WARNING: This story contains strong language, and graphic depictions of violence.
