click the read more to get a new curse!
you have been cursed! now, in your periphery, at the very corner of your vision, you will see an angel with an abacus. they stand at the ready, gaze fixed upon you. if you turn to look at them directly, they will disappear and then reappear back in the corner of your vision.
the abacus is for recording sins. i mean real sins, not catholic sins - every time you treat someone else like less than a person, every time you treat yourself like less than a person.
the angel stands at the ready to add it to the count. their expression never changes and they offer no judgement - they are only keeping a tally. over time you start to realize just how often you treat yourself like less than a person. over time you start to realize just how often you treat the people you love and cherish like less than they are worth. and, you begin to hear the click of the angel's abacus less and less often. there are so many things that you thought were sins that arent; they were always just ways of caring for yourself that our puritanical culture has deemed excessive or selfish. and there are a few things that you thought were fine that you realize now were sins - the casual ways you disregard your friends, your family, the world around you, and especially yourself. yes, the angel still clicks one bead up every once in a while. but that's ok. it doesnt click nearly as many as it used to.
