Past in a thunderous symphony and someone beside him elbowed him in the side.

Jimmy’s opening sentence read like this, “The announcers could not believe their eyes, number 48, Little Jimmy Necot takes the lead on the final lap.”

As the same moment that Jimmy was writing his sentence, Mr. Vacca began to speak, “I can’t believe my eyes, number 48, Little Jimmy Necot takes the lead on the final lap.”

The pen that Jimmy was writing with, had the ability to create the world into whatever he wanted. Jimmy won the race and was ushered into the winners circle. Paul Krisp, dressed in his business suit presented him with a trophy and a jug of milk. Susan Graham presented him with a check in the amount of $500,000 dollars.

Jimmy looked at the check, the huge crown, pretty girls and half full bottle of milk in his hand and said, “This can’t be real.” He folded the check and put it in his pocket. When he did, he noticed the magic pen was there. He took it out and noticed some tiny writing engraved on the golden band in the middle. It read, “Stay today, give it away. With this pen live again.” He then realized what happened. He could stay in this fantasy life or go back to the life he had before.

Mr. Vacca, current NASCAR announcer pushed a microphone into Jimmy’s chest raised his voice over the noisy crowd and asked, “So what happens next Jimmy?” He thought for a moment about his wife and kids and even the old farm. He realized that his life was nothing without his family and then he knew exactly what to do. He took the check back out of his pocket and wrote on the back. “Going home.”

The ink began to spread again and they were all magically returned to the library basement. What seemed like hours took only the amount of time it took Jimmy to actually write his sentence.

“Did that really just happen?’ asked Paul. “What kind of a meeting place is this?” he asked. His rational, business mind could not wrap itself around what just happened.

Susan Graham’s eyebrows began to twitch and raise. She pulled her aluminum walker in front of her and struggled to stand up and said, “Dear Sir, would you be so kind as to let me borrow that pen for a moment?”

“Now hold on Miss Graham, we don’t really know what is going on here.” uttered Mr. Vacca.

Before anyone could make a move, Susan began to write with the magic pen. Her hand trembled as the ink began to flow. It spread to the walls of the room and the entire transformation happened all over again. This time when the walls disappeared, the scene was set on a busy NYC street

.Susan stood there on the sidewalk in front of an old Musical Theater. There was a sign hanging over the doors that read, ‘Closed’. Her mink was draped over her shoulders and she was was holding a tan suitcase and a small purse in her right hand, and was hailing a cab with the other.
