Ric had a book, a very old and special book. He thought himself lucky to have found it at the estate sale. During as many weeks he had played many tricks using the spells from the 'Book of Transformation'.
Ric was very much the geek at school. He did not play sports nor did he enter any of the art, science, or business clubs. Ric had been a model railroader at which he would decend into a small world of his own. A world in which what ever he desired was the rule of the day.
Just think, a powerful book in the hands of youth that saw the world as being there for his personal pleasure.
After school Josh, Ric, Jared, Jennifer and Ken would get together. This sudden togetherness was strange to Ric, since Josh had spilled the beans. Josh could never keep a secret, he had to tell somebody, you might say he had a King Midas curse.
The friendship between Ric and Josh was wearing thin, dangerous for Josh since Ric had the book.
"Hi Ric, called Josh in a loud voice."
"Quiet down, you damn fool, I'm getting tired of you mouthing off to everybody about the book and what we done."
"I'm s o r r y, said Josh, I just can't stop thinking of new ways to use that book."
"Well it's my book and I say what will be done with it and not you or anyone else, do you understand, Josh, Huh!"
Josh was scared, he'd seen Ric's ego get more inflated with each time they or he had used a spell. "I'm goin home, you don't have to make me feel like some stupid ass, said Josh."
Josh turned and without anymore damning words left for home. Darn it that Ric is headstrong, I can't trust him, we're through Josh thought.
The world around Ric was on fire, that Josh can't talk to me as if were the stupid......yaaaa!
A evil thought, Ric had a idea to teach his ole' friend some respect or at least fear.
"Oh demon of lust, Oh Zepar of power, Oh Lucifer guide my bidding, send thy powers to Josh Spencer, Today and tonight may the stupid ass he called me be the curse. Oh hear, Oh hear...... and on he went doing a five level curse on his friend or anyone who helped him. A curse to last one year from tonite, but in level four it could be forever.
A wind blew hard and the house seemed to rattle and as the powers reached out Ric smiled. Then as he turned to go downstairs he bumped into a fur covered leg.
