My 15th Birthday Wish Destroyed My Life

My 15th Birthday Wish Destroyed My Life

Author: Story Time Animated February 15, 2023 Duration: 13:31

Hello, my name is Sky and I’m from New York.

When I was 5, I woke up to find my mother kneeling by my bed. A voodoo doll was on my chest and mom had her hands over the doll, chanting some strange words. I screamed and sat up from my bed. 

“What’re you doing, mommy?”

“Sit still, child. Otherwise, the magic won’t work.”

The voodoo doll was creeping me out so I grabbed it and threw it across the room. Mom gasped and raised her hand as if to slap me.

“You foolish girl! Why did you do that? Now we’ll never be able to fix your ugly face.”

“What do you mean? You’re scaring me, mommy.”

“I was trying to take away that ugliness and put it in the doll. The fortune teller said it’d work. D’you know how much I paid for it? Now it's ruined and you’re going to be ugly forever!” 

With that, she picked up the doll and left the room slamming the door behind her. I cried and couldn’t sleep all night thinking about how scary mom was acting. 

I grew up convinced that mom hated me because she never missed a chance to pick on me and remind me how ugly I was. I had crooked teeth and got braces as soon as I joined high school. My vision was terrible so I had to wear thick glasses that covered half my face.
