A lonely man lives a lonely life

He lives alone, works alone, and plays his video games alone.


Now, he has tried to make friends but whatever he does…


-he always finds a person with a corrupt heart who uses him


-a person who is outright selfish and mean

knowing he has no other friends


-or some old friend he’s had very bad memories with


Our lonely man decides to go to a wishing

well in the park, hoping the wishes are real. He tosses

in a coin, and says amongst the air around him “Please,

can I have a friend who is pure and rare. Who will always

be the sweetest person ever. But who I have no memories

with, so I can start anew.


Nothing happens for a minute, as expected.


As all hope seems lost, the wishing well then shakes

and crumbles, and out comes a mysterious voice saying


“Wish granted. Turn around and walk 30 yards

to the fountain where you will find your wish has come true”


Hysterical, the man does so, and lo and

behold the mysterious voice was right- there was his friend!


Grateful, the now-not-so-lonely man says


“Thanks for the gold, kind, stranger!”
