The fridge is across from the stove. He opens it, revealing an almost barren interior except for two items:

an almost full bowl of old fried rice from the Ho Phat Ho Chinese restaurant down the street and a tall glass bong. The bong is partially filled with semi-brown water and has a cartoon vampire cannabis leaf painted on it with the name “CannaBracula” underneath.

William grabs CannaBracula and places it on his old yellow Formica counter top next to the stove. He opens the cabinet above, and pushes to the side his Weight Mate meal replacement powder and pulls down from the top shelf an old 1980s Transformers lunch pail with Optimus Prime on the lid. Opening it, he found various small, colored medical cannabis containers. Some of which are: Sour Diesel, Blue Dream, Mother’s Finest, Jack Herer, Durban Poison, and Strawberry Cough Sativas. Also present, are containers labeled Skywalker OG, White Widow, Blueberry, Purple Rain, Master, Northern Lights, God’s Gift and Banana Indicas. Additionally, there is one red mini BIC lighter and a small, black, charcoal-filtered device called a Smoke Buddy.

He grabs the Skywalker Indica, the lighter, the Smoke Buddy, and the bong, and sits down at his small, round kitchen table. He squeezes open the container and pours a small amount of ground cannabis flower into his bowl, then lights it and briefly inhales. After blowing it out into the Smoke Buddy, very little smoke lingered. He put everything away and returned to his futon.

Will picks up the jelly bean container again and brings it to his kitchen table. He opens it up and sees a strange symbol etched on each corner of the lid. He pulls out the bag of jelly beans and the small piece of paper, then places them on the table. All the beans are the same color, a very light tan brown. He puts the bag of jelly beans back into the container and closes the lid.

He unfolds the paper and starts to read:

“Congratulations on your obtainment of the Magical Beans.

Please make sure to keep your beans in their container while

not being used or their potency will be severely diminished.”

“Magic Beans?… Yeah, right! What do I look like? A kid named Jack who sold his cow to climb up a giant stalk in the sky? This is bullshit.”
