Create my version of this story
A high school boy's life transforms when a red emerald grants him telekinetic powers.
I was rummaging through an old antique shop in the small town of Willow Creek when I stumbled upon it.
It was an emerald, but not just any emerald.
It was a deep red, almost burgundy in color.
I had never seen anything like it before.
As soon as I picked it up, I felt a strange tingling in my fingers.
It was as if the gemstone was alive.
I rolled the emerald in my fingers, watching it catch the light.
Suddenly, a small notebook slipped from the shelf above me and landed open on the table.
I looked down to see that it was an entry written in messy, childish handwriting.
"Red emerald emulates telekinetic powers," I read aloud.
A shiver ran down my spine as I looked back down at the stone in my hand.
Telekinetic powers?
That was either total bullshit, or a dream come true.
Either way, I had to find out if it was true.
That night, after slipping the emerald into my pocket and closing up my family's restaurant, I headed home.
I lived with my mom and dad just outside of Willow Creek in a small farmhouse.
They were great parents, but I often found myself wishing for something more.
