"You here again? What do you want today?" Swizzle asks you from behind the counter.
"Oh, well, I was just looking for something," you tell him.
"Wishing Powder not enough?" Swizzle asks, his tone thick with sarcasm.
"Actually I was mugged yesterday and that was stolen from me," you answer and realize you still have bruises on you from that experience.
"What?! Stolen from you?!" Swizzle exclaims standing up sharply.
"Yeah," you say a little taken a back from the reaction.
"One minute," Swizzle says calmly and steps off his soap box he's standing on behind the counter and disappears into the back room. After a couple of seconds there's a rumble of thunder and a muffed scream. You feel quite frightened of the power this mall troll posses.
After a few seconds there's another rumble of thunder and the back door opens and Swizzle walks back into the front room and steps back onto his soap box with a grin and sets down a little bottle.
"Here you go, (Insert Your Name Here)," Swizzle says.
Curiously you walk up to the counter and see that Swizzle has retrieved your bottle of Wishing Powder," Thanks Swizzle!"
"No problem, looks like the mugger used up most of the powder, but looks like you have enough for Two more wishes," Swizzle says looking at the small amount of powder remaining in the bottle.
"Oh, what kind of wishes did he make?" you ask a little curious picking up the bottle.
"Best not to concern yourself with that thought," grins Swizzle showing off his sharp yellow teeth. You take his word for it. "But since he did use a lot of the powder, take this."
"What's this?" you ask looking at a small wrapped mint shaped thing Swizzle hands you.
"Swizzle's very own cure for insomnia, just one little pill and boom, you'll sleep like a baby," Swizzle explains cheerfully," Just remember to set your alarm clock.."
"Thanks," you say a little weary," I guess I should go now."
"No problem my boy, come back soon," Swizzle says.
You exit the mall as quickly as you can and decide never let Swizzle get mad at you for any reason.
Swizzle said you have enough for two wishes.. should you make them now.. or wait and carefully decide what they should be?
