The Crystal Ball

You walk into a store full of all things magic. You are the only one in the whole store.

A looking glass and a wooden side talbe in the very center of the room catches you eyes.

You slowly start to walk up to it. It seems as though everything else in the store has disapeared. You see nothing but that one crystal ball in the center of the shop.

You soon reach the crystal ball. You stare at it as though something were to happen, you find yourself starting to rock slowly left to right, left to right.

The glass begins to cloud, no it’s raining, wait now it’s snowing. The weather within the ball constantly changes. You become confused as you continue to stare at it.

Why does this look so familar? You think to yourself. Than you remember, your brother had one, you remember that he said that the ball with catch one’s gaze and continue to change weather, drawing you closer, then it will slowly suck the life out of you.

You turn and run out of the store. Damn my brother and all his curse talk!
