I was never really a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh, but long ago I stumbled across this cool Yu-Gi-Oh golden (NOT real gold ;)) millennium puzzle necklace in shape of the Eyptian pyramid with the eye of Horus on it.
It cost "only" about 10$, which I bought from my pocket money, but I tell you, I kept it like a treasure and wore it everyday. I cajoled myself into thinking that this is a magical artifact, so mesmerized was I by the colour, shape and energy of it. What also was a trend at that time was collecting Pokemon stickers( I was addicted!!), so whenever we had some sticker competition going on, they didn't want to have my sticker as my stake but my Yu-Gi-Oh necklace!! They were looking at it like a greedy pack of wolfs! Yet fate was in my favour, for I put it at stake once but didn't lose.
Do I still have it?
No, about one year later it fell through a sewer grate because stranger on the street overlooked me and bumped into me, hence inexplicably loosening the necklace from my collum right into the sewer grate...don't even ask for my consequent state of mind...😏
