When I woke up in the morning the first thing I did was glance on the dresser, the stone was still there of course. As though anyone could have broken in and stolen it without me knowing. But I did not want to lose such a precious item.
I yawned deeply and looked around, before scratching my head and making my way to the bathroom to relieve myself.
Once back in my bedroom I got dressed and picked up the stone, studying it briefly as though I'd expected it to change color or something overnight. I slipped it in my pocket and then went downstairs to grab a bite to eat. Once breakfast was over, I checked my phone for messages. There was just one... from Karyn. She suggested meeting up at the mall, where we could undoubtedly amuse ourselves with the stone's power. I wasn't sure it was a good idea considering what had happened to Karyn yesterday, but I text her back agreeing to the meet.
Some time later I was on the bus heading to the mall, and all the time I was thinking about all the possible things that could go wrong with wishes that were made. The consequences of idle wishes or wishes made in anger. But there was also a part of me that wanted to use the stone for fun, and a couple of people on the bus seemed like good 'guinea pigs' to practise on.
They were in their early thirties, and were obviously British from their accents. The man was about 6" tall and wearing glasses, his head was shaved and he was dressed in a white t-shirt, a pair of stonewash jeans and some beige boots. His female friend was about 5' 4" tall, and her dyed blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail. She had an average figure but was amply endowed in the breast department, and I estimated their size at a 30G at least. Her 'assets' were on display thanks to the black tank top she was wearing, and she also had on low-rise jeans and brown ankle boots with block heels.
I listened to their conversation for a while, they were talking about seeing the sights, so you knew they were on vacation and probably headed to the mall like I was. I slipped the stone out of my pocket and rubbed it, wondering whether to use it or not.
A part of me was wishing it would be fun to swap one or more of their body parts, or maybe switch their clothing or something else. It wouldn't be as though they'd know... I assumed.
I made my decision
