I was minding my own business walking down the street like any normal human, when i saw this advertisement poster for a waterproof toaster in a window. This was something unheard of! i was totally amazed and disregarded the look of the building that looked as if it were run by a gang of rats and mice. When i entered it smelled of cheap cologne and rotten milk, but i didnt falter in my steps as i walked towards the counter with an excited expression.

The clerk looked a bit shady, with an oversized raincoat stained and yellow and black splotches, almost as black as my hair. He wore some tinted Aviator sunglasses and a brown-green fedora covering his forehead. When i decided to look around before i started asking for what i came for, i noticed jars filled to the brim with some green substance. Right next to it was a bent fork held by a fishing line to the ceiling. I guess to show some sort of magic trick?

i started doubting my decision to enter this foul building, but the clerk asked me what i came for. "Are you still in stock of the Waterproof Toaster?" i ask. You could see his eyes widen in amazement while he said, "One moment Please."  He cracked a smile and you could see his teeth were rotten with a few mission. He broke into a sprint to the back room. While i wait i hear the clanking of metal and glass breaking. When the clerk entered the main room, i was shocked. The toaster looked like a suitcase with 2 metal prongs on top groing from left to right above what seems to be a gas heater.

I instantly ask, "How much?" He raises 3 fingers while saying, "3 hundred dollars. No less." "This is outrageous! You expect me to buy this for that much money?!" He instantly replies, "of course. You think waterproof technology is cheap? Especially for a toaster. if you won’t buy it then get out or else ill call the cops!" I guess he was right but i still felt cheated somehow. I niggardly pull out my wallet and give him my debit card. He spoke with a calm voice, "we dont accept cards. Sorry"

This was starting to feel fishy but i pulled out 300 dollars anyways. i exchange them quickly before i change my mind. I thank the clerk and he replied, "Anytime!" as he widely smiled showing his set of teeth. It seemed a little creepy at first but the view disgusted me so i quickly turn around and exit. I swear i could hear him snickering as i exited the building. When i walk out i quickly realize it’s getting pretty late.

I rush home excited to test this out. I start the bath. After a few minutes you could see the steam rising from the tub. This made my exhilarated as i rushed to plug in and turn on my new toaster. As i undress the toaster starts emitting a strange fog and i felt a little drowsy. I have no idea why but i try my hardest to stay awake. I couldn’t miss out on this chance. As i look towards the fog i see a mysterious figure. While i sat there stunned, the figure spoke "I shall grant you 2 wishes and only 2 wishes. Think and speak wisely before you make your decision."

 When she said that i was skeptical and started to think this was just a hologram from the toaster. No wonder it was expensive. While amazed i thought about what to "wish" for. Thinking it was all fake i casually said, "I wish when i die i get reincarnated into a fantasy world with magic and demons and monsters. As for my second wish, i guess you can make me a sentient skeleton with a conciousness?"

 She sat there, eyes wide with amazement. While she broke out from her astonishment she said while nearly laughing "you wish...is my command!"

She then disappeared. I was fond of this new technology. I wondered when all items will have holograms of beautiful women. As i thought about what just happened i undressed and entered the bath. Forgetting what occurred today i took the toaster and put inside the bath. What a grave mistake that was.
