Chapter 1 by wicker wicker

My name is Wesley Barron. I am 20 years old, 5'11, 155 pounds with dishwater blonde hair and brown eyes. Most people would consider me average looking. I just finished my sophomore year of college and was back home for the summer. I am majoring in history and plan on going to law school. I have a 4.0 GPA.

I am also a loner who does not do well in social situations. I had a couple of good friends in high school, but they went to different colleges, and we only get caught up on breaks.

I returned home for the summer and was walking down a new shopping center. It was like a mall but was open. There were two rows of shops facing each other across a landscaped area full of benches, shrubs, flower plots, and fountains. I noticed a show called "Curious Curios and Sundries."

I walked in. The shop was full of statuettes, jewelry, and knick-knacks. There were no other customers. An old man stood at the counter. He bowed and smiled when I looked his way. I wandered around until I found a stopwatch. It was copper with sundial etched into the cover. I opened it, and the watch face was mother of pearl with copper hands. On the inside was some sort of language I had never seen before. There was a price tag attached. "Free to the right customer" was written in calligraphy. I took the watch up to the counter. "Is this really free?" I asked.

The man looked at the watch then at me. "Could be," said the man. "Give me your hand."

I stretched out my right palm. The man took my hand between his and closed his eyes. After a moment, he opened his eyes and smiled. "All yours, Wesley."

"How did you know my name?" I asked. I checked to make sure my wallet was still in my pants, and it was.

"Just enjoy the watch, young man," the shopkeeper said and nodded before turning around and dusting a shelf full of round, crystal orbs.

I shrugged and walked out with the watch.

play with it or wait until I get home
