In it was a chair.  "Why would anyone throw this away?" I whispered to myself.  Then I noticed a sign on the dumpster.  It said GOOD WILL.  "I was going to take it home." I said a little too loudly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I wasn't supposed to, but I climbed up, took hold of its arm rests, closed my eyes and pretended I was in a space ship.  I was just about to turn on the A4 Regulator when the chair started shaking!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A loud, deep, mellow voice started to speak. "What is your wish?" the voice said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Who's there?" I shouted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am the wishing chair.  Make a wish." it said once more.  I was too scared not to follow the directions so I did just that.  I closed my eyes and said my wish in my head over and over.  Suddenly, I felt something in my lap.  I opened my eyes.  It was a box that said, To: Cadence  From: Santa &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beside the chair was a bag of cat food, two bowls, a litter box and a scooper.  I opened the box and out popped the cutest kitten I've ever seen.  I couldn't believe it!  My wish came true!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DmgDS2Ftslk/R7MwvnAmGVI/AAAAAAAAABk/5dtAtMdbfRE/s1600-h/kitten.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DmgDS2Ftslk/R7MwvnAmGVI/AAAAAAAAABk/5dtAtMdbfRE/s400/kitten.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166526792007555410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/336957348677714550-2406225127182049506?l=lovingrhythm2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lovingrhythm2.blogspot.com/feeds/2406225127182049506/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=336957348677714550&amp;postID=2406225127182049506' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/336957348677714550/posts/default/2406225127182049506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/336957348677714550/posts/default/2406225127182049506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lovingrhythm2.blogspot.com/2008/02/kitten.html' title='THE KITTEN'/><author><name>Cadence</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00604583396169214122</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_DmgDS2Ftslk/R7MokXAmGQI/AAAAAAAAAAk/16H2s-ABP1w/S220/LOVEY.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DmgDS2Ftslk/R7MwvnAmGVI/AAAAAAAAABk/5dtAtMdbfRE/s72-c/kitten.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336957348677714550.post-3986137234198533389</id><published>2008-02-13T09:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-12T19:58:59.189-08:00</updated><title type='text'>INVISIBLE</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DmgDS2Ftslk/R7MmHnAmGNI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/MKhoF4zph8A/s1600-h/INVISIBLE.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DmgDS2Ftslk/R7MmHnAmGNI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/MKhoF4zph8A/s400/INVISIBLE.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166515109696510162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;There he is.&lt;br /&gt;I feel my heart stop.&lt;br /&gt;I hear my breath getting faster and faster.&lt;br /&gt;I open my mouth to speak, but no words come out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He walks slowly by.&lt;br /&gt;An army of embarrassment shoots rapidly at my somach.&lt;br /&gt;Do I chase after him, speak the words never spoken?&lt;br /&gt;Or do I stay here looking pathetic?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am invisible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/336957348677714550-3986137234198533389?l=lovingrhythm2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lovingrhythm2.blogspot.com/feeds/3986137234198533389/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=336957348677714550&amp;postID=3986137234198533389' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/336957348677714550/posts/default/3986137234198533389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/336957348677714550/posts/default/3986137234198533389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lovingrhythm2.blogspot.com/2008/02/invisible.html' title='INVISIBLE'/><author><name>Cadence</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00604583396169214122</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_DmgDS2Ftslk/R7MokXAmGQI/AAAAAAAAAAk/16H2s-ABP1w/S220/LOVEY.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DmgDS2Ftslk/R7MmHnAmGNI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/MKhoF4zph8A/s72-c/INVISIBLE.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
