Get Well Soon, Really Soon
You’re flipping through greeting cards at the local stationery store. A friend is sick and you want to send him a little note to hopefully cheer him up a bit. You disliked pretty much everything in the “Get Well” section, always too corny or sappy, and are now examining the cards with nothing written inside at all. You pick up one that, on its front, shows an idyllic landscape with rocks on a hillside and an old cartwheel hanging from the branch of a leafless tree. When you open it to look inside, where the card should have been blank, you see words written in fire, actual fire, just like in one of those Harry Potter movies: The World Will End In One Hour. The fiery letters burn across the card and then vanish, leaving you prepared to pretend that it didn’t even happen, but for the fact that it singed your eyelashes, and the clerk has just called over to tell you that there’s no smoking allowed in the store.
So, umm… what will you do?
