Shadowprophet and the cursed ring. A true story...

[ExcruciationX]

I'm not sure why you don't just sell it. That'll help you put that part of your life behind you, and you'll have cash to spare (I could use some).

Very interesting story. Its sad how things can work out like that sometimes. You do learn a lot from such experiences though. I'll always be cautious to a thing like Marriage. I mean I'm with a girl I do truly love now, but I'd have to make sure its a lasting love before I ever make a commitment.

On a side note. Why don't you sell this ring? If you think of it as such a cursed item than why don't you rid yourself of it. $12,000 is a very healthy incentive too.

My point exactly.

What's your first name (just because I'm curious)?

Wow Shadow, that's a really touching story. *Grabs tissues* I think the way that you're handling the ring now is pretty amazing, though I'm afraid that the world will be exposed to it somehow later on.

I suppose he doesn't want to bestow grief on anyone else.

I dont know, I mean I could sell the ring, And yeah 12 g's is a lot of money. But I have a kind of deep sentimental attachment
to it. To me its like a reminder or a symbol of a lost dream. It's my proof that out of that entire painful experience I still came out on top. If I ever sold it. It would be like losing a connection to my past.

If that makes any sense

It sort of does. I know what a lost dream feels like, but I can't associate with love very well.

Years have passed, I Am now married to a woman I love.

This is the bit of the story that really matters, because you moved on (although you still think of the other person and have the ring).
