Wish for wealth

"Anything?" I asked inquisitively.

"Sure! You want anything, I can bring it to ya!" She said. "Want a turtle? I can summon one! Or want a fine meal? In a snap it is!" She said with a wink.

"Wealth! I'm tired of being a poor fool on the streets. I wish for wealth from you!" I said in the dreamy haze, as many else would easily have.

I felt a sharp pain in my chest as her smiled rang evilly.

The world from my dreams erupted into a crimson flare as the world before my eyes faded.

I awoke, feeling a very sharp pain in me. I sat up, panting in a cold sweat.

My life continued as usual. Nothing really special seemed to happen. Until one day, five years later I bought a lottery ticket and won 25 million dollars. The dream had come true...

And my life became something great.

But as time wore on...

I grew tired of the filthy lucre. I had everything I ever wanted, but nobody was beside me. I was still, in the end, a good for nothing who had not even a friend, but two faced dogs waiting for a handout.

No matter how much I tossed aside, more would come. From random events. Raffles, contests, or what I would just find laying around my home. It never stopped coming.
