The cool mall air passes you by as you walk down the long hall. You just got the newest CD from your favorite band and you just had a great burger at the food court.
Yep things are good, but you still feel hollow. You feel like a freak, even though you're 17 year old young man with a 6' body and weigh in at 170 with lightly shown abs that some girls love, you still feel like a freak. You guess you feel because of your size. Your pretty skinny compared to the rest of your family and friends. Your dad is a big man at 370lbs and he's a great business man working downtown at the insurance building. Your mom is a sweet little woman who is a bit overweight but loves her family and thinks you can only be happy when you're stuffed, she's the best cook you know. And your brother Mike, who has just came back from college. When he left he was 260, but you're expecting he's gained weight when you saw his monstrous boxers in the hamper.
And then there's your friends, Mikey and James are a bit overweight and you often wonder what it'd be like to have a chubby little belly like them. There's also Dave, the more athletic friend who says you're too small too.
You're about to leave the mall when you spot a new store out of the corner of your eye. Your turn to see the sign "Notz and Yeps." ’Weird name,’ you think and decide to check it out.
You venture into the store which is packed with rows of dusty book shelves, potions and even some mice, baby alligators and eggs. You turn around and see a short man, about 4'5" with pointed ears, pealing skin and orange hallow eyes.
"How can I help you?" asks the short man looking up.
"Just browsing," you answer.
"I know what you're looking for (insert your name here)," says the little man.
"How did you know my name?" you ask.
"I'm a mall troll," answers the little man," my name is Swizzle, and I have what you're looking for." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small glass container of green powder.
"What is it?" you question.
"Wishing Powder," answers Swizzle," any wish you make will come true, some restrictions of course, no immortality, no space ships, etc..."
Should you buy it? Do you have enough money for it? You could leave the store and get fatter your own way? Hard choice.
