“I forgot.”
Data, Star
Trek*
Today I went to
one of my fun school clubs. Tomorrow my brother comes over to
celebrate his birthday and we head out to The David Lambert Memorial
Salmon Dinner, a Lion's Club event. It's dedicated to my grandfather
one of the greatest people I have ever known. Now onto the flash
fiction!
The Grass Is
Greener On The Other Side Of The Personality
Dumb, ugly ol'
Adam they called me. Well I found a genie got myself a wish. I knew
what I wanted. I wasn't going to be dumb or ugly anymore. Or afraid
of nothing. I'm also going to like different things too. Like what
all the cool people like. What the strong people like, what the good
looking celebrities like. I'm going to make myself the best mix of
all the traits of all the best people. Like some sort of perfect
person soup!
Genie grant me
my wish alright!?
And so he did.
I'm everything I wished I would be. That genie looks at me with a
smile though. He's already seeing my second thoughts. I do miss my
previous self. All my memories and life are built around that. I can
tell he expects me to use the remaining wishes to undo this wish. I
suppose most people who find a genie make unwise wishes and undo
them.
That old
personality and all its memories nag at me, but being perfect is a
blessing beyond compare. I may have to spend the rest of my days
fighting the urge to wish back my old, natural self. But when you
have perfection, it may just be worth it. At least I am no longer
Adam the dumb and ugly.
