First short story


 That  same  night,  I  wrote  my  first  short  story.
 It  took  me  thirty  minutes.
 It  was  a  dark  little  tale  about  a  man  who  found  a  magic  cup  and  learned  that  if  he  wept  into  the  cup,  his  tears  turned  into  pearls.  But  even  though  he  had  always  been  poor,  he  was  a  happy  man  and  rarely  shed  a  tear.
 So  he  found  ways  to  make  himself  sad  so  that  his  tears  could  make  him  rich.  As  the  pearls  piled  up,  so  did  his  greed  grow.
 The  story  ended  with  the  man  sitting  on  a  mountain  of  pearls,  knife  in  hand,  weeping  helplessly  into  the  cup  with  his  beloved  wife's  slain  body  in  his  arms.
