Fortune Cookie

Every Friday night, Marcus’s family would order takeout food. They took turns picking a local restaurant. This Friday, it was his little sister Kara’s turn to pick. She chose the nearby Chinese restaurant. Marcus ordered chicken balls with rice.

When Marcus finished eating the last of the rice on his plate, he stood up to bring his empty plate to the counter by the sink.

“Hey, don’t forget about the fortune cookies, Marcus!” his mother said.

“Oh yeah,” thought Marcus—the fortune cookies. The fortunes were always so lame. Most of the time they didn’t even make sense. But his family always made a big deal out of them.

Kara went first. She read it silently and laughed. Then she read it aloud: “Mine says, You will live long enough to open many more fortune cookies.”

Everyone laughed except Marcus.

“I’ll go next,” said his mom excitedly. “You will be hungry again in one hour.” This time Marcus couldn’t help but chuckle.

You will be a superstar karaoke singer,” his dad screamed out. “They know me too well!” he giggled.

Marcus cracked open his cookie and pulled out the little slip of paper. He read it silently. “Marcus, do not read this out loud. Tomorrow, go to the backyard. Take three large steps past the juneberry tree and then one step to the right. Dig a hole 2 metres deep. Don’t tell anyone about this.”

“What does it say, Marcus?” Kara asked.

“Oh, um, it says, “Good things come to those who wait,” He lied.

The next day was Saturday. Marcus woke up at 7 a.m. while everyone was still sleeping. He went to the garage, grabbed a shovel, and headed to the backyard…

Marcus dug and dug until he had reached a hard solid rock. But it wasn’t any ordinary rock. It was glowing a strange green. Marcus leaned in to get a closer look at the glowing rock. He leaned in so much, he fell in to the pit he had dug up himself. He expected to bump his head hard on the rock, but instead, he went head first into the rock, and began quickly sinking through it. He landed in a sort of fairy tale dimension. Marcus turned around, and the last thing he saw before he woke up was a goblin holding a club. “What a horrible dream,” Marcus said to himself.

He decided to do as the fortune cookie said. He took three big steps past the juneberry tree and one step to the right. He dug a hole that was two meters deep. Marcus looked into the hole he had dug to find nothing there.”I told you these cookies were worthless” Marcus sighed. Then he had a thought.”How did that fortune cookie know my name?”. Marcus felt weird. He wanted to go back to his room. But at that moment when he turned around to go back in his house he saw a strange figure. He advanced a step to take a better look at it. The figure resembled more and more to a person the closer he walked. It had a black cloak covering his body and head, but his face was not visible.”It was I who created that fortune cookie, Marcus” it said. Marcus was scared. “H h how do you know my name?” Marcus mumbled.” How do I know your name? Ha ha ha. What kind of question is that? Marcus…”. “Yes…” Marcus said. “ I am your father!” the person screamed.”What…I mean,no your not my dad.”TO CONTINUE

After that he headed to the pot and found out that there was already a hole!! He checked out the hole and he saw a PS 4!!!! And there was a note on it that said” We hope this has changed your perspective on fortune cookies”,and it was signed by “Anonymous.” Marcus for a split second wondered who might have sent this and who dug the hole and everything, but before that he first had to play his PS 4!!!!
