Am I Really a Jinx? Chapter 8
I was fading away.Before I disappeared completely, I went to visit Mom in the psychiatric ward.I remembered her as a gentle mother before I was three.She used to make me delicious food, buy me dresses, and kiss me, saying, "Sharon, you'll definitely be a good girl. My precious little one."However, ever since Payton called me a jinx, that gentle version of Mom had disappeared. She started seeing me as the enemy, like I was the worst person in the world.Sometimes, I was confused.Was being labeled a jinx more important than blood and family? Wasn't I Mom's precious daughter?The conditions in the psychiatric ward were bad. The walls were cracked, and the air was thick with unpleasant smells.Mom was kept in a tiny room. Ironically, it didn't have a window either.Her hair was a mess. Sometimes she was lucid; other times, she was completely out of it.When the nurse brought her medication, she'd scream in terror, "Jinx! Jinx! Stay away from me!"She refused to take her med

The police suddenly shifted their focus. "And you, business has its ups and downs. How can you blame a child for it? When you were making money, why didn't you think about her?"Dad couldn't say anything in defense."No, no! She's the jinx! We're not wrong! We're not wrong! I did all of this for the family! Officer, you can investigate! Our family has gotten better because of her bad luck over the years!" Mom began to ramble incoherently.She couldn't accept the fact that I had died."You people are truly foolish! You've destroyed a child's life just because of a ridiculous lie!"The police officer frowned, and his anger rose as he spoke up for me.I quietly bowed my head in thanks.The past ten years of my life had been ridiculous. The whole thing was a nasty scam.They had trapped me with the jinx label, using me as a scapegoat for their failures. Now that I was dead, there was no one they could blame.I doubted they could handle even a fraction of the suffering I had endure

The police stood there, surveying the room, and then asked, "Who is Payton Reyes?"Payton Reyes? Who was that?The unexpected question threw everyone off guard.Just then, a person raised his hand and said meekly. "I-I am…"Everyone turned to look. It was Mr. Reyes?The police stepped forward and handcuffed him. "Payton Reyes, you're suspected of fraud and selling fake medicine. You've been reported. Come with us for questioning."Mom was the first to react. "What did you say? Mr. Reyes is a fraud?"Her voice was sharp and filled with panic.At that moment, one of the paramedics stepped forward and said furiously, "Officer, don't leave yet. I have a report to make too. There's been a murder here. I suspect that this family has been abusing a child!""No, no, we didn't!"Dad, Mom, and Siena instinctively denied it."It wasn't us! It was Mr. Reyes! He was the one who said Sharon was a jinx! He told us not to let her live a good life, that it was the only way we'd have good luc

I lay motionless on the couch. My body was in an awkward position, and my face had turned black.I looked like a statue."Sharon, stop sleeping! Wake up! Mr. Reyes said you're not a jinx!" Mom shouted as she rushed over.This was the news I'd wanted to hear for so long in the past ten years, but it was too late.Mom came over and pushed me hard, but my body was already too stiff. My face was frozen in the pained expression I'd been wearing before I died.My eyes were fixed on the ceiling and nearly bulging out. They were filled with frozen terror.Mom touched my cold, lifeless body, and she finally realized something. Trembling, she tried to check for my breath."Ah!" She screamed in terror and collapsed to the floor.Her hand shook as she pointed at me. Her words were barely forming. "S-Sharon... she… she's not… breathing…"Everyone behind her was stunned.Dad's hands shook as he quickly dialed 911.The ambulance arrived quickly."There's no saving her. She's already brain

Dad drank too much that night. He didn't end up going to the old house to check on me.The next morning, when he finally got up, I urged him, "Dad, it's time to check on me now!"Suddenly, his phone rang."Michael! Get over here! There's a problem with the business!" His partner's voice was frantic.Dad hung up the phone, and just like that, I was forgotten again. He rushed off in a hurry.Mom had heard the phone call too, and she looked worried. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart."Please, God, let everything be okay."I also folded my hands in a silent prayer for Dad.However, there wouldn't be any problems because I was dead. I wouldn't be able to affect them anymore.This time, everything would turn out fine.Still uneasy, Mom tried to brew some calming tea. It was on the top shelf of the cupboard, so she stood on a stool to reach it.Then, she slipped and fell off the stool. The pain made her wince.I wanted to help her, but I was powerless."What
Am I Really a Jinx? Chapter 3
The next day, the bright red sun shone down on my corpse. However, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't warm it.It was the second day of the New Year, and we were supposed to visit Grandma.I heard Dad say, "Why don't we bring Sharon along? It's the New Year. Mom always misses her the most."I felt a glimmer of hope. Were they finally going to notice I was gone?However, Mom sounded irritated. "Don't bother. My luck's been awful these days. It's definitely that jinx's fault!"As I was dead, I couldn't shed a tear, but I desperately shouted, "Dad, Mom, please, check on me! I'm dead. I won't bother you anymore!"They couldn't hear me.When we arrived at Grandma's house, I couldn't hold back my sadness any longer. I rushed to her, but I passed right through her.Yeah, I was dead. I could never hug her again."Where's Sharon? Why isn't she here?" Grandma asked.Mom smiled. "Mom, Sharon's got the flu. We didn't want her to give it to you, so she stayed home. She'll visit once
