Betrayed By Blood

Synopsis

I had a nasty tetanus infection in my leg. My parents tossed me two dollars and told me to buy lottery tickets, saying if I actually won, they'd finally get my leg treated. Sobbing, I bought five tickets and somehow won 1.7 million. But when I handed them the winning ticket with trembling hands, I saw no joy in their eyes—just pure greed. After that, my father drove home in a brand-new car. My sixteen-year-old younger brother had a fancy uptown penthouse with his name on the deed. As for me, all I got was 1,000 dollars and a one-way trip to an illegal clinic, where they sawed off my leg. There was no anesthesia, no painkillers. I died right there on that table, screaming from agony. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day I hit the jackpot. This time, I'd make sure they knew some debts could only be settled in blood.
