__—The Yard Sale—__

In 2012 a young man was last seen at a high school, two years later they found him dead, the suspect told the police a story and this was the story.  The young man was known at Johnathan Greeves and he was looking through the yard sale looking at old items, one of those items was an interesting looking box with weird symbols on it, Johnathan grabbed the box and took it to the owner and asked what it was.
"Oh, that's not for sale!" The owner barked at him, he looked nervous and didn't look at Johnathan. Johnathan walked back to the spot, faked putting it back down, and put it in his bag. Johnathan just grabbed an old Nintendo console with a game included and left, he took the box out of his bag and looked at it. The strange box was as big as a Rubix cube but didn't work like one, the symbols were made of solid brass and felt electrifying to his finger tips, the base cube was made of a dark metal allow that felt cold to the touch. Johnathan got back to his house and went upstairs to his room, he slammed and locked the door, he sat on his bed and placed the box in front of him and stared at it. Johnathan felt something rush over him, the knowledge to know how to open the box went into him, he carefully placed his hands onto the box and began to open it. He twisted, flipped, and opened many compartments to finish the opening process but nothing seemed to happen, he placed the box down and laid back on his bed and closed his eyes in frustration, as he did so he heard a voice call to him and it came from the box.
"Hello?" Johnathan asked.
"What is your wish my master," the box responded. "For you opened it, I am your servant and will do anything for you!" Johnathan couldn't believe what was happening, he didn't know what to wish, he looked at a poster of Jessica Alba and went to say his wish.
"I wish to have Jessica Alba as my girlfriend!" Johnathan commanded.
"Is that your wish, so be it!" The box flew up into the air and became a big ball of light, in an instant, a clone of Jessica Alba appeared in front of Johnathan. He looked at the clone and couldn't believe his eyes, there she was, the Jessica Alba. The clone bent down to crawl on Johnathan's bed, she slowly crawled to him.
"So," She said, giving off a flirtatious feeling to Johnathan. "What do you want to do?" Johnathan was going to say something but he forgot, he's only 15, so he thought of another thing. "I wish me and Jessica are the same age, 19!"
"If that is your wish, so be it!" The box did the same thing it did earlier and both Johnathan and Jessica are the same age.

The next day, Johnathan woke up to see that he's naked, Johnathan put some clothes on and walked outside to go to school. The wind was blowing and it lifted his long curly hair, he continued walking to see a mother and a young boy dead on the street.
"Damn it," one of the officers said. "How did this happen?" Johnathan looked at the bodies and saw that the woman was a skeleton and the boy's skin was old an wrinkled. Johnathan ran to school, he ran for a few miles but didn't feel exhausted, his height changed from 5'5" to 6'0". As he walked into school and went to his locker, everyone was looking at him like he's a different person, he closed the locker and went to English class. As he found his spot he didn't fit his seat, he sat on the floor instead, the day went normally and he got out is school. He walked up to his crush who was an senior in high school, he grabbed her shoulder and she was shocked.
"Johnathan?" She exclaimed.
"Yours truly!" He did a bow for her, he saw that she had a different hair colour, he pointed it out and she pulled him to the back of the school.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier," she took the wig off so show a bald head. "I have cancer..." Johnathan began to cry, he hugged her, she was shocked.
"Wait," Johnathan broke the hug and pulled out the box. "I can help you!" He opened the box. "I wish that me and Stacy are immortal and free of illness!"
"If that is your wish, so be it!" The box did its normal procedure and Stacy had her natural hair grow back in an instant, she began to cry and hugged Johnathan. The two heard screams and saw that two other students were dead, Johnathan and Stacy ran to Johnathan's house, he opened the door and ran into his bedroom. Johnathan locked the door and Stacy sat on his bed.
"I think I know why this is happening," Johnathan pulled out the box. "And I think it's because of this box, whatever I wish for, something bad always happens." Stacy was shocked and looked at Johnathan, she was confused.
"Wait, what did you ask for?" Stacy asked.
"So," Johnathan started. "I asked for Jessica Alba to be my girlfriend, then I asked to me 19 years old, and now then I asked for you and me to be immortal. So I think we should be okay!" Stacy looked at Johnathan and saw the loneliness in his eyes, she got up and stood in front of Johnathan.
"Why did you wish for a girlfriend, when you can have one right here?" She leaned in and kissed Johnathan, the two kissed for a while, banging on the door scared Stacy and made her fall onto the bed. Johnathan opened the door.
"Hey, Johnny," His dad saw how mush older he gotten. "Since when we're you this old?"
"Oh, I hit a growth spurt!" Johnathan's voice was a little deeper too.
"Oh, okay," his dad saw Stacy on his bed. "So, who's this girl?" Johnathan blushed and looked at his shoes.
"That's my stud-"
"Girlfriend!" Stacy interrupted Johnathan. "Yes, I'm Johnathan's girlfriend, we are also studying!" She gave Johnathan's dad a smile, Johnathan's dad closed the door.
"Stacy, do you mean that?" Johnathan sat next to Stacy on the bed, blushing until his face turned red.
"What?" Stacy asked, she saw the look in Johnathan's face and found the question. "Oh! Well, yes, I meant it!" Johnathan pinned Stacy down onto his bed and kissed her more, moving down to her neck. The next day the two were in bed, Johnathan noticed that both of them were naked, he got dressed and lived a normal Saturday life. Stacy followed down stairs and saw a letter.
"Dear Johnathan and Stacy, we are leaving to house to you for the next month because we are going to South Korea. I hope you two don't get into a whole lot of trouble while we're gone, we'll see you two later and also don't mess with the box!"

__—The Master of Puppets—__

In the early 1880's, there was a father and his son, the father made puppets for his store. The boy loves the way the puppets looked and felt, they were so realistic and satisfying to play with, the boy would sometimes ask his father to bring one to home. The father would kneel down and told him no and the father would put the toy back on the shelf, when the boy turned 17 his father taught him how to make puppets, the secrets that were used to make them were horrific. His father woke him up at the crack of dawn looking for a maiden, his father shot and killed the woman and commanded his son to skin her. They would come back to clean the skin and bless it so it doesn't rot, then he would put something to make it's satisfying movements, they would complete it by making it look like the woman they shot and killed. A few days later and there was a funeral for the woman, the toy store opened and showed the puppet to help honour her after death and the toy sold crazy. The toy store stood open for more than 100 years before being closed down in 1988 because of the practices with killing and skinning of people.
