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.

I am very glad to be me!). Nice work! Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 10/25/2018 4:50:00 PM Thank you my friend; I believe most will come up to the same exact conclusion.
