Ch. 6 The Last

"This is by far the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me," said Scott to Angelina, "I sure hope that no one ever hears or reads about this story" (wink*).

As Scott and Angelina were conversing he happened upon somthing cool in his pocket. He drew his hand out to reveal the most beautiful copper coin that his eyes had ever seen. This wasn't saying much becasue copper as a metal is pretty ugly and the only copper coins he'd ever seen were pennies, and Honest Abe doesn't have the "most beautiful" mug in the world or anything! Scott noticed that there was some script on the coins surface. As he gazed closer he saw the inscription "make a wish and see what happens".

"Hey, look at this," he said to Angelina. As she came closer to look he told her of how he had found it earlier, and completly forgotten about it. "I could have just used this when I first found it, and it would have saved me all this trouble." He was being sarcastic. "But," came his sarcastic jabbering, "if I had used it when I first found it than you'd still be lost out here!"

"I think it's a real magic coin," came Angelina's brightening voice. "You need to make a wish."

"What... real... are you insane? How could this posibly be a REAL magic coin? That wouldn't make any sense. You must be insane!"

At that very second they walked out of the wood.

"O, look, there's a road sign. It says Arizona St. I live just two blocks over from Arizona St. I can get home before dark. We'll, I'm glad that I met you, but, I wish that none of this had ever happened..."

Just like that he was back in his two story pent house, at the begining of the story, thinking...

"Who could have ever imagined that three days could last a century."
