Ready For a Magic Pill

Let us pretend you have a magic pill.
If you decide to take it, 
You can wake up tomorrow as someone else.
A new look, a new age, a new person,
You can live in any country in the world.
You can live on another planet.
You can be famous, rich, or just be you.
Choose wisely, as you can never
Ever go back.
You have 
Twenty 
Seconds to
Decide.

One fourth of your time is up.
When I get to one, your opportunity
Is over.

Rhona Mcferran October 25, 2018 at 12:05 PM LOVED the ending! hahahaha ;D (And on a serious note, this made me realize- regardless of life circumstances I would love to change... I am very glad to be me!). Nice work! Caren Krutsinger October 25, 2018 at 4:50 PM Thank you my friend; I believe most will come up to the same exact conclusion.
