Today I decided to go for a little jog. Why not? It was nice out so I decided to wear my 1980's shorts with an Olympics tank top with my hi top Nikes, and off I went. After running about a mile in the park, I took a break and sat down for a bit where the nice breeze hit my face like driving a convertible. The sky looked as clean as my house was, and the sun was hitting like my dog trying to get me to play with her. I looked ahead and noticed that there were a few people throwing their change in what appeared to be a wishing well. That looked familiar. The bucket that was hanging from the top and considering how deep it was down there, I went and checked it out. I wondered if it actually granted people's wishes but after finding a penny on the ground, I was gonna make my wish but before I did I wanted to look down in the well to see how much change was there. I couldn't actually see so I looked in there deep and whipped out my flashlight. As I looked deeper I accidently flipped and fell in there. I then get up and try to look for a ladder or something. It was literally dead like, there wasn't anything I could do to get back up there. I tried yelling for help, but no one seemed to hear me.

So, I ended up staying there all night where it got a little bit chilly. And then I looked on the ground and noticed all the change that was there. I took the penny I grabbed from earlier and wondered if I could just wish myself outta this wishing well. And that's exactly what I did. I didn't have any hope it would work, but I did it anyway. But suddenly a path opened behind me. I followed the path and kept walking. I was kind of nervous to see where it took me but as I kept going I kept hearing strange noises. It was as if something was crawling around. So I sped up my walking the more louder it got and the louder it got I kept going until I eventually ran for my life. I eventually stopped where there was a split. To my left was a chest containing a map. According to the map, it didn't seem that big at all. I noticed a few minor details such as where I would find treasure. But then I noticed a skull icon in what looked like a boss. I had no idea where I was supposed to go, so I just followed the map to see where it took me. As I was getting near the skull on the map, I became anxious. When I finally approached it, oddly enough nothing showed up. But as I was about to walk away, something came up in what looked like a huge rat. It slowly creeped up on me and asked me what I was doing down there and I had told him that I accidently fell in and then he went on to say how it was a sacred place for everyone's hopes and dreams that weren't allowed to be accessed. I was then ordered to be taken in, but I saw somebody come up behind the rat and destroyed it. I then thanked the man for rescuing me, and so he asked me if I made a wish yet. I told him I did and so he took me back to the area where I fell to look for the penny I dropped in there. He found it and took it to a room where he inserted it into a Donkey Kong Machine hooked up to an old computer. He then went to the old computer but before he typed in my wish he asked me if I wanted to make another one instead. You see, the man had a ladder which could get me out of the wishing well, meaning I would be outta there tonight. Much to my realization, I then typed in a new wish: To become a millionaire and live in a mansion filled with luxury where I also didn't have to work. The man looked at me like it was some kind of random wish all of a sudden but I didn't really care. We had to wait to see if my wish was approved, to which it was. He then gave me a receipt for my wish, and so I left that night with the overwhelming feeling that I'm gonna be rich. 

The next morning, I suddenly woke up in my bed. I was shocked to discover that my wish actually worked! I toured around my new house to discover my belongings and a number of other things. I didn't see any money lying around so I checked my bank to see that it was there. I was able to enjoy life for a few days until some kind of mafia came up to my mansion. They knocked on my door and I was hesitant to answer. But after their persistent knocking I answered. They demanded their money and I was like, "What are you talking about?" They then did an entire house search to find out that the money wasn't there. So they ask me if I hid it and I wasn't hiding anything. They then gave me a deadline after they left. I didn't have the guy's number from the wishing well, so I immediately went back and tried to find him but suddenly the wishing well was gone. I then got away for a few hours where I ended up catching a movie. I was then approached by another set of people who knocked me out. 

So I then woke up in some kind of basement where both of my hands were tied to a chair in rope. I heard footsteps come down the stairs and it looked like a regular guy. I noticed that he was older and had a ring on his finger. I swear I really hate polos and dad jeans.. And that's exactly what this man had on. Anyway, he explained to me the group of thugs that came to my house to ask me for the money. According to him, these thugs are run by a notorious leader who owns a condo some 30 minutes away. He leads a successful business where it's been that way for about 20 years. There wasn't any criminal record on him oddly, and his group of thugs usually wear the same set of clothes and sorts. He had said that at some point, their money was stolen from someone (which had to be me) Presumably it isn't understood why but it appeared that someone framed me for whatever they did. I suspected right then that it was the man from the wishing well. I told the man that but he didn't quite believe me at first. I then took him to my house where I showed him the receipt that I got for the wish. I then went to the site where the wishing well was where it wasn't there. It looked as if it was all gone. It was as if, it was never there. Being completely stuck, I noticed on the receipt a little question that said: Dilly, Willy, ... I thought about it hard and then once I figured it out I knew exactly where to go. We headed up there to Philly where we spent a few days looking for the wishing well. And then I eventually found it. I went in to find the man and so I did. I cornered him and asked him if he set me up. He admitted that not only he did but he was kinda pissed that I fell down there and found out how he granted wishes. As a result, I demanded that he grant me another wish. He gave in and so I granted a few wishes that would end it all. And so the next morning, I woke up back in my old house which to me, felt so much better.. But hey, at least those guys were stopped! I also never heard from the man again, and so everything turned back to normal. Thank goodness.. Now I can spend the day relaxing..
