Princess Diana and a Cursed Doll...


"In honor of our eleventh date, he gave me a Mexican death puppet. A little paper-mache skeleton that he sat on top of the television. Silly, not scary. Innocent. Or so I thought. A week later, Princess Diana and Mother Teresa were dead. I moved the death puppet off the television, afraid that in another week's time, Katie Couric, Jerry Seinfeld, Oprah - whoever appeared of TV that week - would be claimed by the puppet. I set it on the floor, in an area I figured to be just above my nasty downstairs neighbor's head."

- From "Magical Thinking" Augusten Burroughs.
