“Please!” He cried, “If I attempt this, the weight of the universe will collapse in on my mind. I have been loyal– I have been true in your righteous taking! Please, your Majesty. Do not make me.” He sobbed.
The king bent down and leaned in towards the caster. He gently grabbed his chin, tears wet his cheek. The king smiled and stared right into the caster,
“Your effort and loyalty will be proven when you open this portal. If you do not, it will not be the universe that collapses your mind.”
The caster's eyes widened as he trembled.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Jump-start Your Writing Journey
My dear friend Nancy had dreams of being a writer after commanding a classroom forever. She figured it would finally give her a creative outlet instead of taking up knitting afghans or cultivating orchids. She hated grading papers and wanted to expand her opportunities. As we met at Panera, she shared that she wanted people to read her thoughts and allow her personal legacy to live on. “Grand idea,” I said. “I want the same.”
