My Roommate Cursed My Whole Family, and I Said Of Course

At the class reunion, Jesmira Zamora, my roommate, asked if I wanted to play the "Of course" game.

Her voice was playful, but her words were anything but. She said my family would go bankrupt in three months. That they would all die. That I would get heart disease and be expelled from school.

I felt the blood drain from my face. But still, I said, “Of course,” swallowing my pride as my classmates laughed around me.

I never imagined that three months later, every one of her twisted predictions would come true.
