"Man, why does my stomach hurt and I suddenly feel tired!" I said, sitting down and holding my midsection. This feeling has happened more and more lately, mut it only started a few months ago, before Christmas. The feeling will last a couple hours and go away like it never happened I asked my doctor about it, but she didn't have an explanation handy. She told me to keep data and maybe a pattern would emerge. So, I've been keeping a spreadsheet. It's happened almost every morning since the day after Christmas.
A few days later, I was out with my girlfriend when she started talking about her mornings, "I feel like I'm getting lazier in the mornings. I wonder if there's something wrong with me."
"Maybe it's something we both ate because I feel really tired and my stomach hurts a lot of mornings," I replied.
"Have you talked to your doctor?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm keeping track, " I replied.
We arrived back at her house and I followed her in. "Oh, look what Callie gave me for Christmas." She held up a coffee mug with my face on it.
"Why the hell would she give you that ?"
"I think it's funny, and cute, "she replied.
I chuckled at the mug, "Where did she get that?"
"She made it herself," she said. "That the type of stuff she does." My girlfriend paused, looked at the mug and then looked back at me. "Holy shit, she also dabbles in witchcraft. I think she made you an avatar on this mug."
"Uh, what ? " I was hearing words, but I wasn't really following.
"I explains why, in the morning, I just want to sit and drink my coffee and do the crossword. That's what you do. I'm stealing your power." She looked excited
"Uh, what? " I was following what she was saying, but I wasn't buying it. "You're talking about magic and that's just the stuff of fantasy. It isn't real." I was trying to remain cool. "Anyway, It doesn't explain why I feel sick in the morning. I'm certainly not pregnant.
"Sure it does. When I take your power, you lose it and it makes you feel sick."
"OK, I'll play along, how do we stop this from happening? " I asked.
"If I don't use the mug, I won't steal your power But I like the mug even more now that I know it's haunted." Her cat jumped up on the kitchen counter and knocked the mug to the floor and I lived happily ever after.
Prompt: You are an avatar on a haunted object. You do not know it. How do you find out and what is the object?
