Subject: My Fantasy Chapter one

This story as you will find out is all wishful thinking. But wouldn’t it
be fun to have the ability.

When I was fifteen I experienced a life changing happening. I was on my
paper route about 6:30 one morning when I came upon a single car wreck.

A gentleman had gone off the road and hit a tree. The car was pretty
smashed up and he was pinned inside. It had just happened because one of
the wheels was still turning. I could see the figure of an older guy lying
across the steering wheel. He started to move his head so I thought I’ve
got to get him out of there. I pulled and pulled and finally got the door
open and he was able to help me help him out of the car. We had just
gotten to safety when the car exploded and burned. We just sat there in
amazement at how close we both had come to the end.

I asked the old guy if he was hurt and he said no he would be all right.
And then he took my arm and asked me to set with him for a bit. I said OK
and we talked about stuff, school, sports etc for a while and then he
looked at me and said,

“Without hesitation you stepped in and helped me get out of my car. That
was an unusual act of courage and bravery. I’m going to reward you with
one wish. You can have anything you want but be careful of what you ask
for because once you tell me it can’t be changed and you will get exactly
what you asked for.”

I thought for a minute, not about what I wanted, but what kind of idiot
this guy thought I was. I knew there was no such thing as a good fairy or
guardian angel but here he was telling me I could have anything I wanted.
But I though, what the hell, if he is and can give me what I want I might
as well go for it.

“My best friend’s sister is dying of a brain tumor. I want her cured
without surgery,” I stated. The gent looked at me and said, “You didn’t
hesitate in asking for help for your friend’s sister. You could have had
anything you wanted but that’s what was most important to you. For that
act of compassion, I’m going to grant you a second wish. I will take care
of your first one today and be here tomorrow morning at this time to hear
your second one.” With that he just flat disappeared.

I finished my paper route in complete bewilderment which was compounded
when I passed the scene of the accident on my way home and there was no
scene of the accident. No skid marks, no marks on the tree, no indication
of a fire, and no crashed automobile.
