Sally was a sweet girl who got tired of waiting for her happily ever after.

Ever since she was little, her mother would always tell her that anything she wanted in life, she only needed to pray for. So she prayed for good grades when she had school trouble; she prayed for good health whenever she got sick. And when her stepfather crept into her bed for the fourth straight night, she prayed for him to stop.

She didn’t get good grades. She still gets sick. Her stepfather continues to come into her room. Into her bed.

Prayers don’t get answered on their own, she heard their parish priest say one time at church. You have to work for them. God will only do so much, you have to do the rest for yourself. On your own.

That night, Sally prayed that her stepfather wouldn’t come into her room. And still he did. So she did the rest herself. Armed with a steak knife, Sally made sure her stepfather will never creep into her bed again.
