It was a nice sunny day in the town of New York. There was a clear sky, and a slight breeze. It was that day when the Turtle Shell appeared. It was not just a normal turtle shell though.

Now, because of this 'miracle' Shell there was a never ending line of people wanting to get their wishes granted. I had a weird feeling about it that just made me not want to use it.

"Come on please David. Just one wish," My wife pleaded.

"You don't know what could happen. You always say that it will only happen once. What happens then? It happens again, and again, and again," I argued back.

"Fine if you don't want to use it, I will just go wait in line all by myself!" My wife argued back.

"If you're going to be like that then fine, I guess I must go with you. Everything has to be your way!" I yelled at my wife.

"Well then, what are you waiting for? The line is not going to get any shorter," She said.

After many hours of waiting we were finally just steps away from the 'mystical shell'. My wife was all excited, but for me, I was panicked. What on earth would she even wish for? After all, we do have everything we need.

When they handed my wife the Turtle Shell I just wanted to take it right out of her small soft hands, and chuck it at the cement we had been standing on for hours. Sadly, she was protecting it, like her baby, because somehow she was able to read my mind about what I was planning on doing with it.

On our way home we realized something had changed about our town. It seemed different in many ways. The doctor was out trying to heal much more people than usual. It was probably the Turtle Shell that I tried to keep my wife away from. When we got home my wife was very impatient about making her first, and hopefully last, wish. So she decided to do it without my acceptance. I am not exactly sure what she wished for, but she seemed pretty sad when she came back in the room empty handed except for the Turtle Shell.

"What did you wish for?' I asked her.

"If I were to tell you the possibilities of it coming true would decrease exceptionally. As for that fact I decline to answer your question," she responded in a very proper voice. Then all of a sudden millions of dollars appeared out of no where.

Five minutes later I look out the window to see that it is getting even worse outside. Of course my wife didn't realize. She was too busy fanning herself with the money that just came out of nowhere. It was very dark outside, and the weather was dreary and cold. I had to make a stop to this 'mystical shell'. I just knew it was something bad.
