The Wish Granter

I hurry quickly to the store with excitement rushing through my body.  As I reach the door handle, bright lights come to an end. Pitch black fills the store, with the echo of footsteps leading out. 

A huge sigh fills the silents. I start to walk further and further and a  light grabs my attention.  One  massive fountain with bright yellow glows. A sign stuck on the fountain says, “come and wish for what you desire”. Fantasy I believe, who in the world would be silly enough to believe this nonsense. People tossing coins leaving a wish to be granted. Impossible thoughts driving me crazy! I take a breathe for a minute, thinking, “ should I really do this thing?”. 

Yes! A thought comes to mind. Wishing for a packet of chips. Tossing the coin with hope at state. Plopping, roughly in the water leaving a mystery to be found. Waiting for an hour to go by. Birds pass by, fighting over a piece of moldy bread, leaving poop stains on aged and benches. Going home with hopelessness all over again. 

At home waiting for this fantasy to come true.  Days pass by with nothing to come. Starting to regret this wish already. Knocking awaits at my door.  Aunt Helen, approaching  with a huge surprise packet of chips. All I wanted in the first place, a big bag of chips.  So dreams do come true if you truly believe.
