Things were easier then, life was different. Kids felt safe in their little bubbles. Iβd cycle to my piano lessons, cutting through the empty lot without a shred of fear.
Iβd ring the bell for my lesson; if my teacher didnβt answer immediately, Iβd wait on the bench. One time I waited so long, I was about to leave when the door flew open and a girl came running out, sobbing, her clothes a disheveled mess. My teacher called out after her. Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β
My only reason for ever feeling fear was the way my piano teacher looked at me that day.

βWell, here we are, Chip. Back in Beech Grove, Indiana!β
βYou know, Babs. The old homestead really hasnβt changed much.β
βThe Colonial Movie House is still open! Man, Iβm so happy they didnβt get rid of that beautiful faΓ§ade. Mom hated it, always saying it looked like a widowβs walk.β
βI bet you canβt remember the first movie we saw there, sis. Loser buys lunch.β
βAre you kidding me? It was βThe Blobβ with Steve McQueen. God, I loved that man!β
βThatβs right! I forgot about your crush!β
βLook! Fire Station #1910 is now a burger joint. Youβre buying, bro!β

Imagine if you will a girl, her dog and three hapless friends searching for a wizard to grant their deepest wishes.
People love scrappy little pups. But what if the dog was a mangy seagull with a caw like a rusty fan belt? What if his wish was to crow like a mighty rooster, to wake the townspeople with his majestic “cock-a-doodle-doo“?
The wise and benevolent wizard could not fulfill such hopes but his reassuring message was that everyone’s wishes would come true if only they dared to dream.
I do believe that gull with lofty ambitions dared to dream..

Just my luck! First day of my new job; things couldnβt have gotten off to a worse start!
Overnight blackout during a heatwave.
No electricity.
No AC; I sweat like crazy all night and smell like an ox.
No alarm clock; I overslept.
No time for a shower and shave.
No closet light; Iβm wearing one brown shoe and one black.
I look like a derelict!
Nothing for breakfast; no time for even fast food.
Iβm stuck behind road hogs. “Outta my way, you fools! Iβm late for work!“
Some first impression. I must have a cloud over my head!

Punch β that misogynistic bastard β was out cold, spent from guzzling booze and pounding Judy like a side of beef. She slipped him Valium to keep him zonked and shackled his wrists.
Policeman Jack, Judyβs lover, stood guard outside; Punch would never escape before the tide washed him away.
Judy’s long gone now on a slow boat to a podunk beach town called Atlantic City.
A year went by; nobody asked about Punch or Judy. How quickly they forgot.
When Policeman Jack received a letter from the States, inside was a ticket to Atlantic City. Judy was true to her word.

Sue was excited as she showed her husband Ron her purchase.
βIsnβt it gorgeous, Ron? My latest acquisition from the Mystical Emporium. Itβs supposed toβ¦β
Ron cut her off. βNot again, Sue! Youβre so gullible!β
βRon, wait! It really works!β But Ron left, slamming the door behind him.
Sue would have to wait until Ron returned from work to show him how the pitcher set glowed whenever someone lied.
As usual, Ron was late and Sue was waiting for him.
βNot now, Sue! Iβve had a grueling day at the office!β
And the magical pitcher set glimmered like a supernova.

Jenny looked around the no-frills room which was now her home. A shy girl, sheβd never spent a single night away from home; now she was half-way across the country at an unfamiliar university with thousands of nameless faces.
At first she didnβt want her parents’ help moving but at the last minute she relented. They were on their way home now and all Jenny wanted was to grab her phone and beg them to come back and take her home.
The sound of girl’s excited laughter echoed in the hall; Jenny peeked out and someone happily waved her over.
