A Wish for The Wizard
👵👵👵
Whew!
The “wizard game” was still standing at the end of the boardwalk.
His quarter clattered into the clanky contraption.
He closed his eyes.
He made his wish:
Make me a boy again!

That’s right, kids. Adulthood is a scary, scary thing.
This is cute and funny. Thank you for linking up!

Thanks, Draugh. Since it was intended to be a child’s bedtime story, “cute” is good!

I love the idea of a video game that grants wishes. Not that I’d ever be able to win, but still, the idea of it… 🙂

Actually, it was a takeoff on BIG, where Tom hanks played a boy who bought a wish from a wizard booth…creepy! But I agree with you, good idea for a video game .

Whoops! Well, any time there’s a pop culture reference, I’m sure to miss it. 🙂
