Cody smiles darkly down at the gold hook. The excitement bubbles from his stomach up his throat as he heats the kettle where he's going to melt the hook. Sitting an angst and wait, his mild spins in circles as he thinks about all of the things that he can buy--he nearly foams at the mouth at the thought of the endless treasures that will soon be in his belongings. The kettle screeches, giving the signal that it's warm enough to melt the gold. Cody excitedly stands up, and makes his way over to the kettle. Abruptly, the rug that was underneath his feet slips under him, sliding everything on top of it over, including the hook and Cody. In a split second the room was filled with happiness, and eagerness, and now all that's left is a dead body and a hook covered in blood. Cody's cadaver lay motionless as the hook's point sticks dead center into his heart.
Later on, Cody's body was found, and the hook was taken by another greedy being and melted down, without a rug in the room. Karma got the best of Cody, and he got what he deserved.
