Fools Gold

The train came to a haulting stop, as it practically threw Rosa, Sam, and Rosa into the next train car. "Last stop to Empire City," the conductor announced. The trio exited the train to be left in awe of this lush, gold land. Everything around them was gold, including the trees,water, animals, and buildings. Each step that they took turned to a golden footprint to mark the path that they have traveled to come to this haven. Rosa, Sam, and Joe noticed a small set of footprints leading to Empire City's main building. This building was a beautiful cathedral style building made of all gold blocks. "It's absolutly beautiful. It's so incredibly peaceful here. It's like you can forget about your problems for five minutes and just take in the scenery," sighed Rosa. "Yes, it is quite relaxing. But Rosa, we are on a mission! Let's not get sidetracked. C'mon, let's go," Joe firmly said. The group moved forward as they were secretly being watched by the Escapist through his crystal ball. "Great! They are just on time," smiled the Escapist.

"So, Joe, you have one wish and I shall grant it. Consider me your genie and whatever you ask for I must grant. What will it be?," asked the Escapist. "Well, now that I know you must do ANYTHING I ask for, I am going to go to the extreme. You now work for me, so my wish is that Hitler will not be stopped. I want him to conquer more terriotory and get rid of all the Jewish people starting in Germany, and then move to the rest of the world. He has the right idea in purifying this world, it's just he needs my help. And with this wish, I shall grant him the help he needs," replied Ebling. "But Joe, isn't that a bit extreme? So many people will be harmed," replied the Escapist. Ebling shot back, "Maybe you didn't hear me must grant me that wish. So make it happen now." The Escapist cunningly replied, "Yes sir. Take this golden coin and stick it under your pillow tonight. When you wake up, it will be gone and your wish will be granted. Now be on your way." Ebling left the building as the Escapist laughed to himself.
