The humans had such interesting objects inside their buildings and this was the first time that Curt had ever been in the human world. His hand traced along the device called “Leech” for a dog. A smile moved across his face. This device allowed a dog to be outside and dance around without getting too far away. Man, humans are truly clever!

The doors burst opened and a young woman hurried in with a dog in her arms. Despite the size of the dog, she was able to hold onto it with a surprising amount of ease. The other humans in the room didn’t seem surprised, nor did they seem bothered by the attention the injured animal was getting attention before them. Because of his position in the Department of Wishes, he could hear the wishes from the people in the room. [i]I wish that dog would get better.[/i] and [i]I wish that the dog’s health would get better.[/i] Selfless wishes from humans always made him smile and he put his fingers together getting ready to snap and grant the wishes of the patrons inside.

Before he followed through with the snap, he was approached by the woman who just carried in the dog. “Oh hello. Don’t worry about the confusion I…” His voice trailed off as he finally made eye contact with her. She had stars in her eyes! The stars were beautiful and nearly entrancing. She was the human-goddess they were looking for and she happened to appear in front of him. Without realizing he was staring into her eyes and almost leaning forward as if to get a closer to her stars. 

The sound of the bird pulled him back into reality and he shook his head. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to stare. Can, can I buy this?” He said holding up the leech. “What are you going to do with that dog once it’s better?”
