…when weird stuff happened, it was a sign that the bad stuff was close by.
The Story So Far…
A drunken Michael Bonaduke decides to use a grift (with maybe some sort of magic/magic-like “help”) to win on a scratch-off lottery ticket so he has money to buy more to drink.
What’s The Grift About?
Bonaduke gets a sign that he shouldn’t proceed with the grift–and he actually doesn’t have to anymore. But he goes ahead, anyway, and gets a little carrying around money and the bottle he wants so much.
But there appears to be a price for his little trick–and he knows he’s going to pay it soon.
So, what did I think about The Register?
Okay, these story segments are wayyyy too short for me–as soon as I start to dig my teeth into something, it’s over. I’m curious to see what comes next–it promises to explain a little about what’s going on. I don’t expect that to be good for Michael.
