The Kingdom Of Wishalot

It was 9:00 pm. I was coming home from a baseball game. As I was walking home suddenlyI heard a loud BANG! I looked around nervously when all of a sudden right out of the middle of nowhere, pink smoke came and covered everything entirely. I couldn’t see anything but pink! As this was all happening a girl I had never seen before walked up to me and in a low, hush voice said, “Your wish is my command.” Then as quickly as she had appeared, she vanished.

The smoke began to clear and in front of me, instead of the streetlight was a large gate that was wide open as if someone here was expecting me. So I did the only thing I could do. I walked inside. “Where am I?” I asked but there was no one there. All of a sudden a dwarf jumped out of a bush and said, “Welcome to Wishalot my friend. Here all of your dreams and wishes come true. You may do anything your heart desires here.” He told me this so fast I could barely understand him. What I could hear sounded like this: Wishalot dreams of a heart. That did not sound so pleasant. “Can you please repeat that?” I asked him.
“Sure” He repeated what he said and this time I understood. So I put this statement to the test. “I wish I had a slice of pizza” I didn’t believe this wishing mumbo jumbo would work. But to my surprise, no sooner than I had said my wish a piece of pizza appeared in my hand. “Cool” I said. “What is your name?” I asked him.
“Gordon Lee Anderson” he replied. “What is yours?”
“Brooke Shay Demy” I curtsied as I said this.
“Please let me give you a tour around” he begged.
“Go ahead. Knock yourself out” I told him.

First we went to Eatsville. Everyone there except Gordon and I were obese! Everywhere you looked there was food! No wonder why everyone there was so fat!

Next we went to Lollipop Land. Home to Sweet Tooth Mountain. That was and still is my favorite place. Everything there was candy! It was the only place where you could pick the plants. (The plants were actually candy also.)

Next we went to Woolcity. This is where blankets, clothes, and pillows were made. They shaved the sheep and then half of the wool was turned into thread to sew the product and the rest of the wool was used as stuffing. There were exactly one million sheep there but they were expecting new lambs next month.

The last place we visited was Hometown. Almost 55% of the country’s population lives there. 44% of the population lives in Eatsville and 1% of the population lives in Lollipop Land. Hometown is your basic everyday town. It has houses, stores, and restaurants.

When we were all done I was very hungry but Gordon answered my prayers. “Are you hungry?” he asked.
“A little bit” I said.
“Then what do you said we go down to Red Clam and get something to eat?” he asked.
“Sounds like a deal” I agreed.

Now you would think that they would sell seafood there right? Well it wasn’t! It was a steakhouse! They had steak, pork, chicken, and every meat in your wildest dreams. It was very tasty.

Next he showed me where I would sleep. It was a little cottage near a willow tree. Inside it was just on big room. On the right there was a toilet, sink and tub. On the far left corner there was a fire pit, two couches, and Television. On the left there were two beds. “Do you have curtains to go around the tub and toilet?” I asked with hope that he did.
“Of course silly” he giggled.

As it grew darker we got into bed. “When will I go home Gordon?” I asked.
“Any time you would like Brooke. That is your choice. I told you here you may go or do anything or anywhere you want. Good night.” And that was the last thing I heard from Gordon except his snoring. Soon I drifted asleep also.

The next morning I woke up and smelled fire. Gordon was cooking pancakes over the fire pit. “You American people get up very late” he complained. I looked at the clock. It was only six ‘o’ clock! “What time did you wake up” I asked him.
“Well like most lunatic people here I woke up at four thirty while you were snoring away. I thought you would never wake up” he told me.

In a while we sat down on the couches and started eating our breakfast. I turned on the TV to a station that would usually be cartoons but instead it was a show explaining facts about eggs. “The cooking channel?” Gordon asked in a confused tone.
“Well at my house this channel shows cartoons” I told him. Gordon took the controller from my hand and hit a button that had a picture of himself on it. A robot rushed out of nowhere and came right in front of the TV. “Channel ZYXC” Gordon told the robot. The robot went over to the television and hit a variety of buttons and Scooby- Doo appeared on the screen. I looked at Gordon with a confused expression on my face. “I got the television with a special button code to activate cartoons and only the robot knows it” he assured me.

Later we swam a the lake and went to a carnival. We spent many days like this. Before we knew it two weeks had passed by. One summer day I decided to go home. I missed my friends and family and I’m sure they missed me too. “Bye Gordon” I said when I arrived at his cottage.
“Where are you going?” he asked me.
“Home” I replied.
“Already? It’s only been two weeks” he sounded confused.
“Yeah but I miss my family” I mumbled.
“Oh” he gulped.
“Will I be able to come back?” I asked.
“Yes you just have to go to the streetlight and say Patricia it is me Brooke. And you will appear on your bed in my cottage” he
“Thanks for everything Gordon” I said as I gave Gordon a huge hug.
“No problem sport. Bye” he said as I walked out the door. But I quickly returned for I had forgot something. “Who is Patricia?” I asked.
“The girl who welcomed you when you were surrounded by smoke” he answered.
“Thanks bye” he said. I walked out the door and out the gate. Before I knew it I was back at the streetlight. I looked at my watch. It was nine’ o’clock. No time had passed since I had left. So I walked home in the darkness.

I went back to Wishalot many times. Gordon has a girlfriend named Selenis now. She is very nice. She lives on Sweet Tooth Mountain. We visit her a lot. Well I have to go now. Gordon and Selenis are getting married today and I am the best woman. Don’t want to be late! Bye!
