What I have to say is much like a fairy tale where the protagonist is a down on his luck guy, where everything is going against him and suddenly a miracle occurs but this time there is a difference . If you prefer stories , where there is hope, light, and Happiness then that story is somewhere else what is about to follow is pretty gruesome and dark, even I don't want to read any further .

Here we go. Our protagonist works for a Multi National Company, he is a henpecked person and a dreamer. Though he is sincere, honest and diligent yet he is underappreciated. He has nobody as his parents are well dead. He has no friends and is lonely. However he has an acquaintance named Abhay. His colleague Abhay is the person he envies yet strives to be as Abhay is charming and affable. Today our guy is about to know something bad. Abhay is promoted today and yes our hero stands clapping in public. 

After all this I urge you not to read. 

Anyways our protagonist comes home and cribs like we all do when we feel that someone less worthy gets more appreciation. He did felt what Lago(Othello character) when he was not promoted. But he is powerless to do anything so he does what we all do and that is cry himself to sleep, unaware of what is about to happen . 

If you want to read some  gruelling and despicable acts please read ahead otherwise it is not too late please look away.

Next Morning our protagonist wakes up and says "Uff , my mouth smells so bad I wish it smelt like roses "  and quite miraculously and unfortunately his mouth starts to smell of roses. Next he did what any sane person would do and that is freak out and naturally even a mad person would freak out as well but for different reasons which I cannot tell you people so I leave it to your genius/foolish imagination. 

What is about to follow is not nice to read so please don't read any further . 

Our protagonist in his enthusiasm says what all fairy tale heroes say and that is to turn their homes into palaces, this one was no different, he demanded for a palace right away. But how do you place a palace on seventh floor. Even imagining it is quite difficult for me. As a consequence our protagonist's palace started to fall into the ground as the support was weak and what did you expect. So he cries to revert his wish. Even if this tumble wouldn't have killed him, I think Income tax, Property Tax and our good for nothing press would have killed him, for sure. People on the internet would shame him to death for having such a home. 

Next he goes to his office and whispers that Abhay commits suicide by jumping out of a window from on the top floor and he gets his place ,but that doesn't happen as top floor is under renovation and there are no windows there , this disappoints him and I feel not a single bit relieved, but he gets his place. Now that I see it, our protagonist is quite envious of him so much so he wishes to kill him, I think he has seen too many movies. 

I would request people to not to read any further because gruelling things are about to happen but they cannot be said as the alarm rang and our protagonist woke up, brushed his teeth and had a bath after which he was on his way to office. In the car he says I hope Abhay is not there. When he reaches his office he gets to know that Abhay died in a car crash while on his way to work, and he has been promoted to his place. 

If you are thinking what I am thinking then it is right and wrong. What happens next, I leave that to your creativity and imagination as it is far greater than mine. Please don't say I wasted your time as I have made numerous attempts to dissuade you.

If you wish to add something just let me know, I will make the corrections.
