A Magical Gift

Making The World Yours

Chapter 1 by Kimmyk Kimmyk

It was a grey, gloomy day when you, John Doe, found yourself walking to an unfamiliar pawn shop all alone. It's been a very rough day for you. After a long day of school, Hannah, your girlfriend of two years decided she didn't want to be with you anymore. So here you are, trying to at least get some money back for the present you were planning on giving her for her birthday next week.

You walk inside and are instantly greeted by the woman inside. "Hello young man." the old woman says to you with a smile. "How may I help you today?" You go up to her and place the necklace in your pocket on the table. "I was just hoping to sell this here." you tell her. The woman looks at the necklace and frowns.

"Oh my." she says. "Why would you want to sell such a beautiful necklace?".

"Well," you sigh, "I bought it for a girl I was with but..she decided she didn't want me anymore, so I don't need the necklace".

The woman continues to frown. "You poor soul" she says. "Nothing I hate seeing more than a broken young heart."

"Thanks" you say, confused by the woman. "So..can I get something for this?" you ask. The woman begins to smile.

"I can't offer you any money for it, but I have something else you might fancy" she says as she reaches for a box behind the counter. She presents you with the box and opens it, revealing a different necklace.

"Umm, I don't really need another necklace, thank you though" you say, disappointed.

"Oh no, trust me" the woman says. "This isn't an ordinary necklace. This one has special powers."

You roll your eyes at the woman. "Powers? What are you talking about?"

The woman giggles. "You may not believe me, but just take it and trust me. As long as you wear this necklace, you'll never feel helpless again. Anything you think or say will instantly become a reality."

"Uh huh" you say, not believe a single word this lady says. "And why on Earth would you give a necklace that seemingly has so much power to me?".

The woman shrugs. "You seem like a nice young man, I don't see why I shouldn't help you out." She slides the necklace over to you. "Just take it and wear it for a day. Then you'll believe me."

You're frustrated by this crazy old woman, but this necklace is obviously all she's gonna give you, so you figure you might as well take it and cut your losses. "Fine, I'll take the.. 'magic' necklace" you say sarcastically.

"Excellent" the woman says. "Have a fantastic day, and just be careful what you wish for".

You take the necklace and put it on before leaving. At the very least, it's a nice looking little pendant.
