A $10.00 tarot reading at a carnival sideshow.
An additional $10.00 for a love potion, guaranteed to reward you with his constant attentions.
Such a small price to pay…
In a flash you have replaced the man you married, with the man of your dreams.
Three drops, the gypsy had said, three drops, no more no less..
Three drops of pink tinted sugar water, worthless as a potion of love, but lethal in combination with just a trace of peanut oil, Emily cackled to herself, as she removed Johns medical alert bracelet, and dialed 911.

Wow! I guess she got what she wanted, but it probably means she and John wasted a bunch of money on an epi-pen.

Well, the fortuneteller was right in that the man she gave the drops to had her constant attention for the rest of his life….

Loved the simple sentences that built up to a great ending. A wonderful example of how few words can say so much, so clearly. Nicely done!

I would advise the “man of her dreams” to be wary, as I suspect her husband was once also the man of her dreams.

She may have the constant attention the one who will haunt her dreams forever because of the horrendous act she committed. That being said, you wrote a SSS (Scary Six Sentences).
