Plastic Bottle

The Idea:

Well, the idea was creating series of stories that begins with 'When I...'. And the item that somehow inspired me at the moment was a plastic bottle. Through some struggle, I was able to take a selfie of me opening the plastic bottle.
Why the struggle? Because I want both my hand showed in the picture; if my both hand in the picture, how could I clicked the camera? So....with a little thinking and 'magic' I took it. lol. Anyway, the story itself turned out quite good, I even think about made it as the basic of a novel, hm....

The Story:

When I opened the plastic bottle, it always brought me back to that night. The night when I first opened it; when that creature came to me. Stared at me. I froze up. It got closer. My heart was pounding, but with a blank mind, I stayed. I recognized the creature from a folk tale. A wish granter. "Live forever?" I heard it in my mind. I nodded. I should have not. No. I would not if I
knew that live forever means repeat the same day over and over again. How many times have I opened this bottle? Hundreds? Thousands? No, it's much more than that. Then, how good is live forever when we stuck in a loop?
