The Gloudeman brothers were brothers in name only, there was no love loss between them. They had never gotten along, for as long as any of them could remember. Each day was a battle for the three of them.
Mike was the oldest at 18, Andy was in the middle at 16, and Matt was the youngest 15. Mike and Matt were the easy stand outs of the family. Mike was tall at 6 foot, and slim. He had black hair, cropped short on the side faded up to the top, and dark blue eyes. Mike played sports, but didn't excel at them. Despite this his body was lean with some definition in his abs and arms. His strong point was academics. Mike learned concepts fast and had quick recall. Matt looked a lot like a younger Mike. He was shorter at 5 foot 8, but bulkier and had a lot more muscle definition. He did well academically (not as well as Mike) but sports were his strong suit. Matt had great hand eye coordination. It didn't matter what he did physically, he picked it up quickly and was great at it.
Andy was the fuck up of the family. He stood at 5 foot 8 inches tall and had long shoulder length black hair. He carried more weight than his brothers but was still in decent shape. Andy liked to drink and smoked pot pretty regularly. He enjoyed having a good time, and he never understood why his brothers didn't. Andy was an artist, he loved to paint and work with clay to make art. His parents didn't understand this. They wanted him to stop pursuing his artistic folly and become more like Mike and Matt. When Andy was younger he was the frequent target of spankings from his father for not conforming to the "family norm". Now that he was older, his father resorted to emotional rather than physical punishment.
Mike and Matt didn't understand why Andy was making things so difficult for himself. High school wasn't hard for them. You showed up, you paid attention, you got an A or a B. Mike hated that after all the hard work he had done, all of the groundwork he had laid, Andy came along and ruined it. Matt then had to make up for all of Andy's misdeeds. The family's reputation was already ruined. They had fought pretty consistently for years.
Mike's senior year was coming to an end, however, Andy was still ruining things for him. The latest incident involved some creative limericks Andy had written for English class. As Mike walked out of school that Thursday evening, he saw Andy sitting in the principals office, the secretary was on the phone, no doubt talking to their parents. Mike felt the anger bubbling up inside himself. He walked to his car and found Matt waiting there for him. "We're going to make an extra stop," Mike smirked at Matt. They drove out to the strip mall at the edge of town. The only store that showed potential was the magic shop. On the way out Mike had laid out his plan to Matt. They were going to find someway to get back at Andy for all of the trouble he'd caused them. As they entered the store, the old, sleepy clerk greeted them in some language that neither could identify. The store was filled with oddities and bizarre objects, only about a quarter had english labels. The brothers come across a bin labeled 'henna tattoos'. Mike flipped through the bin of temporary tattoos until he found the perfect one. It was about 4" long and in the shape of a penis. Mike smirked, this was perfect. The brothers paid the $15, and headed home, to wait for the perfect opportunity to apply it.
That night, Andy gave them that opportunity. After school, Andy went out and got extremely high. He knew he was going to be in trouble and didn't want to face it sober. He had to fight to keep from giggling the entire time his father screamed at him, firing the usual "you're a loser" and "you'll never amount to anything" at him while Andy's mother and brothers looked on. After the assault was completed, Andy went to the room he shared with Matt and pretended to do his homework, while he really stole drinks out of the flask he had hidden under his desk. He passed out in his bed that night drunk and high, oblivious to the world around him. Mike waited until after midnight to sneak from his room into Andy and Matt's. Matt was aware of the plan but had fallen asleep all the same. Mike slowly and carefully applied the paper with the penis tattoo onto Andy's cheek next to his mouth. Mike could barely keep from laughing as he removed the wetted paper leaving the penis outline. Mike slowly snuck out of the room not looking back to notice that the tattoo had faded away into Andy, leaving no trace of the curse that had been unleashed.
