It was 6 pm, about to get dark.

“ Fucking October man, it gets dark so quick “

He got up from bed and decided to head out.

“Alex , time to have dinner . Lisa is waiting for everyone to gather and pray before eating... You know the rules, no praying means you dont get to eat “

Lisa was the orphanage’s caretaker, she was an old hag who would beat you up for the dumbest of reasons...

Just using  “god damn it “ would get you whipped, that’s how much of a fanatic she was.

“ The ones who do not thank the lord for the food provided to them aren’t deserving of it “

That was her catch phrase at this point, no praying equals no food .

“Yeah, i have been an orphan and lived here for about 17 years, every single day i have prayed but nothing seems to have changed for the better... Sister Anne, pardon my scepticism “

Anne was used at his“ infidel remarks “ ( it was what Lisa called it) so she chose to ignore him.

He was kinda going through hard times right now, he would be an adult in a month and would most likely end up homeless.

Every time he tried to find work he got refused since he had “no experience “ .

Employees required experience even if you applied for work in a car wash nowdays .

“Same old , same old !

Glad i sold the watch that i stole, my life sucks but I can at least eat outside tonight

He went to a pizza shop and spent all his money on pizzas.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

He did eat inside of course, going back to the orphanage holding pizzas would be stupid since the caretaker would just banish him for theft.

Hell , even carrying pizzas on the streets was dangerous! He lived in a rough neighbourhood , thugs were everywhere.

He would get a massive beating if they saw him carrying pizzas around like trophies.

After he finished eating, he headed back home.

“This shit sucks, i just spend all my money on pizza without thinking of tomorrow “

Summed up his life, after getting tired of waiting and waiting and waiting, he decided to live the day and not await an uncertainty, which was him getting adopted !

“Well, i live the moment I guess, my moments are rare anyways “

He walked through all the dark alleys until he made it back to the orphanage.

The whole building was surrounded by darkness since they had no budged to buy lamps or as Lisa called it “ we save electricity “

“Wish this shit caught fire .

No, I wish this entire city caught fire.. or even better.. this shitty world should be on fire”

Everybody would have found that scene absurd, but the true absurdity was yet to come.

Surprisingly, just as he finished cursing the sky started raging in purple thunder.

The earth started quaking and the clouds caught fire, then fiery rain started falling .

Alex couldn’t believe what he was seeing, he only cursed because he was angry he never thought that his curse would cause all of this , which obviously didn’t.

No man could cause even a small percentage of that .... of that hell !!

“Wait, thats not fiery rain. That is....Gold?”

What he thought of as fiery rain were in fact golden bracelets that were falling from the sky.

The sky and clouds themselves were split open and it looked like it had formed a gate, and from that gate billions of bracelets of different colours fell .

As if they were God’s gift to humanity, but would those bracelets be a gift or calamity?

From what Alex knew of humans, they were definitely not deserving of gifts .

Was God really this merciful? The sky itself was raining gold !

After minutes that felt like hours, a grey bracelet finally fell next to his feet .

At first, Alex didn’t want to take that iron bracelet since only Gold would be of enough value to last him for a few days but that bracelet would change colour every minute !

From grey it turned blue, then from blue to purple and from purple it became orange .

Such occurrence was unknown to this world, and even though Alex had no idea about what was happening..

He knew that this bracelet would sell for a lot of money, so he picked it up .
