“It’s perfect for you my dear,” came the words from an old woman as she slowly rose from behind the display case. “But I must warn you. It’s magical. It has powers beyond your wildest dreams!” “Powers, magical powers?” Dexter asked as he stared at the plastic-encased sketch pad with the charcoal sticks. “Yes, magical powers. This sketch pad and its charcoal sticks were once used by Merlin the Magician himself!” she said as her eyes widened. “He was able to perform amazing things with the powers of his drawings using this parchment.” Dexter’s eyes widened too, when the old lady said that. “How much do you want for them?” he asked. “Just between you and me, Dexter, they are priceless and will do amazing things for you. I know that you are a good boy and would be very careful with them, so I will make you a deal. I can’t tell you exactly what powers they have but I am warning you to be extremely cautious when you are using them. The price is twenty dollars which will leaveyou five dollars to go on that last ride with your mother.” “How did you know how much money I have left and how did you know my name?”

About the Author
Leonard got the bug to write later in life and hasn’t stopped since. For most of his life, he wasn’t interested in writing and didn’t think he had the ability until he had his own internet radio show, where he wanted a story for a Halloween show. Checking on the Web was disappointing, so his wife, Sandra, suggested that he write a story himself. Leonard was happy with that and came up with other stories featuring his grandchildren’s names. He continues today still wondering where all the story ideas keep coming from.
