More Like Jack
by: Unknown
Moments after making your decision, you called for your father. "Dad!" You exclaimed, "I need help!" Immediately you received a reply, a loud shout from the lower floor. "I'm coming, son!"
He walked into your room and closed the door behind him as you explained yourself. "You know, dad," you started, "You and mom are too hard on Jack."
Before you could continue, he interrupted you. "Edward, we went over this before!" He exclaimed in an angry manner, "Your brother is a-"
You threw both two pieces of candy in your mouth and whispered your wish. "I wish you were more like Jack!" With that said, your dad simply stood there, dumbfounded, slow to react, until suddenly, you noticed that his hair, or what was left of it, as changing color. What was left of his ginger hair was turning into a light brownish color. His hair then continued to grow until it brushed his shoulders. It was somewhat very unkempt and greasy.
The goatee that he had retracted back into his face. One second it was there, and the next it was gone, only to be replaced with tiny stubble on his chin, providing a five o'clock shadow. The brown polo shirt he was wearing morphed in an orange vest, coated with unidentifiable stains. The pencil behind your dad's ear turned into a cigarette. His stomach shrank considerably. He looked very lanky at that point.
Finally he stopped changing, and you were pleased with the result. Finally your father regained his senses. The first thing he did was look into your eyes and spoke to you.
