and now...
some good news
got an egg for Easter and I was so stoked I felt
like I was 12 years old again. I didn't have to
knees in the dirt and weeds, I didn't have to play
mental hide and seek with any grown-ups, and I didn't
have to ruin my Sunday clothes. That would have
been a drag because my mom would probably have
put me on restriction.
The egg I got wasn't just an ordinary egg, either.
It wasn't decorated with a design or anything. In
fact, it was just a regular hand-painted blue egg.
What made the egg special was that it was old, passed
down through the ages from one generation to the
next. It had history behind it, and that meant there
were stories to be told.
The Badlanders had found this special egg behind
a brick wall near 12th Street in Pomona almost a
decade and a half ago. The people who had found
it were supposed to possess very special powers;
telepathy, fortune telling, total mind control and con-
centration are but a few examples. They said that
if you put your mind to work, you could accomplish
anything you wanted to, but once you lost posses-
sion of the egg, your power was gone.
The special egg has been lost and found many
times over the last ten years. It has made some peo-
ple wealthy and some people very poor. Some have
gone to jail and some have died trying to gain posses-
sion of the egg. Like all great legends, this story
is true. If you don't believe me, ask me to show you
the powers because it is I who have possession of
the egg.
