Introduction: I’m sure everyone has come across a story or two about someone finding that bottle or lamp that after the appropriate action releases a genie who will grant a certain number of wishes for the lucky person who happens to find it. Quite frequently, the person finding the genie doesn’t read the ‘fine print’ and the results are frequently not what the person making the wishes desired. The greedy and the dishonest seem to get the worst of it. In the case of this story, I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out.

Apparently, Becky was not too upset about finding out about Sylvia. It certainly had to have been a surprise, but obviously things did work out. At least our narrator thought they had.

What Wish?

It felt like Christmas or one of the best birthdays I ever had. I walked into the thrift store over in the next town to look around for some new used clothes: well, new to me. I frequent the store and old Mrs. Flagstone knows my name. She looked up from the large box she was going through as I walked through the door.

“Good morning Corey.”

“Good morning Mrs. Flagstone. What do you have there? Did a new consignment arrive?”

“Well yes. It’s from one of my neighbors. Mr. Flagstone just brought it in. Terrible thing.”

A short story by Rosemary

Special thanks to Malady for his help editing.

Brad Tyler.

He had just turned eleven years old, and he hadn’t gotten much in the way of presents for his birthday. In fact, all he had gotten was a twenty-five dollar check from both sets of grandparents.

His dad, Bill, was being laid off from his job as a groundskeeper from the local hospital, so his parents weren’t able to get him anything really. He understood, and was grateful for the fifty dollars he’d received.

The final showdown. Who will emerge from the wreckage? The end is finally here.

The more I try to convince people of the reality of the wishing stone, the more they don't believe me. Plus, this is my last day of freedom from the girl who tortured me for most of my high school life.

Two guys that make my heart swim, a best friend beginning to distrust me, and a mortal enemy that will be returning soon. Could things get any worse? Probably.

What's a girl to do? The boy I thought I was falling for isn't mine anymore and I'm not sure I want the boy who is. The weight of this new reality presses down on me and I turn to the one person who might understand: Pee-Jay's mom.

Someone has used the wishing stone. What changes have they brought into my reality? How will me and my friends be affected? What does it take for a new girl to catch a break?

The pool party continues. Two major revelations rear their heads and my life as a hot cheerleader gets a bit more complicated.

Cheer practice, home life, and date night. Oh my! As the second day slowly comes to an end, I'm finding out more about the girl I never was and learning more about the girl I am now.

My second day as Penelope begins. However, everything might not be all peaches and cream.
