Three Wishes
I woke up in the morning at 6a.m. I looked out the window, and… it was snowing! Yeah! Then, I found something odd; it was September. So, how could it be snowing? It must be a miracle. And then I noticed something else: the house was… warmer then when it was not snowing. How could that be? ‘Today is full of mysterious things,” I wondered.
I pulled a jacket over my shoulders and walked toward the stairs. I hesitantly placed my hands on the railway and hoped it would support me for what I just then saw. Over the window, my father had two suitcases with him, and was putting on his hat. I walked on the corridor, and again something strange was happening. I walked forward and suddenly a lamp on the ceiling stumbled my feet: It was the ceiling that I was walking on! I tried to get out of the house through the window. Then I saw a strange cat with golden fur. She looked like Cheshire, the cat in an old fairy tale, Alice in the Wonderland. Though I could not remember the story about Alice and Cheshire clearly, but one thing was very clear: that I was standing on the ceiling looking at the cat in snowy day, and that I was not dreaming. The fairy tale that I’ve been always daydreaming was happening to me. The golden cat suddenly said, “I’ll give you three wishes.” I, without any hesitating, said, “Put me back on the floor, lower the temperature as normal snowy day, and get out of my house!”
Everything turned normal. Yes, it did. The cat jumped out of the window and disappeared with a whispery “mew”… Out of the window, snowy furry white snow was falling silently. I sighed with a dim smile. Now, I can enjoy my early Christmas making snowman and skating. Dad waved his hands, and I ran out stepping on the white blanket.
First of all, I smiled since the tone of this story was exactly like your words. Quite a short story, but the image makes this as such an fantasy. I liked the colors of this story, white and gold, and your brining 'Alice in Wonderland' made this story much more like a fairy tale. However, I really liked this since this was not away from the real world. If I were a speaker, I would rather choose to stay in this fantasy and suggest another wishes, but you ended the story as 'back to real world' I really liked this... Such normal and small things are in fact, one of the most important things in the world.
답글삭제This is great. I agree with Haryung. As it is, it is good! It works. It almost reads like a short children's book, and the illustrations would be fun and funny. The three wishes also funny. How about having an author trying to sell this to a publisher? Or an author looking at some pictures drawn by an illustrator? That could be the layer surround this fun little story.
