Kevin and a Magical pen

Kevin was a typical lad with a subdued grin and a curious heart. He loved three things more than anything else: grilled cheese sandwiches, notebook doodling, and grass-based viewing of cloud drift. Little beauties abound in his life: the sound of birds, the hum of the refrigerator, and the crisp pages of library books. Kevin, though, harbored an intense longing for something somewhat miraculous.

Kevin excavated behind the large oak tree in his yard one beautiful afternoon. He enjoyed acting as though he were searching for dinosaur bones, pirate wealth, or lost secrets, an adventure. His little plastic shovel clinked on something hard. He shook the dirt and reached for a brilliant golden pen. Its surface was smooth and warm, with a slight swirl at the tip that shimmered when the sunshine landed just right and little stars engraved there.

Kevin stared blankly. “Weird,” he said in a whisper. Why would anybody bury a pen?

Kevin got out his notepad that evening after cleaning his teeth, hugging his favorite frog, Mr. Wiggles, and getting into bed. Now, the pen seemed heavier, as though it were waiting. He chose to try it just for fun. On the first page, he wrote: “Tomorrow, it will rain marshmallows at school.”

He laughed, closed the journal, and slipped off to sleep.

During recess the following day, something quite remarkable occurred.

Little white blobs, delicate, sweet, and squishy, started to drop from the heavens.

Someone yelled, “Marshmallows!”

The teacher cried out. The children exclaimed. Kevin glanced to his right, and he caught something in his hand.

He nodded with a smile.

Knowing.

Pen was it.

Kevin scribbled one sentence every evening before bed from that night on.

“My goldfish will talk to me tomorrow.”

And it asked quite gently for pizza flakes and jazz music.

“Tomorrow, the clouds will be fashioned like dinosaurs.”

And sure enough, a brontosaurus floated on its way to school.

” Tomorrow, the library will smell like chocolate cake.”

It does. Even the books smelled like something pleasant.

Every dawn unveiled a fresh surprise. Kevin’s life suddenly became a bit more magical, a little sillier, and a little brighter. Still, Kevin was cautious. He always produced something pleasant, polite, or entertaining, not at all frightening, nothing average. Though it trusted him, he believed the pen had great power.

Then Kevin felt adventurous one night following a protracted, dull, rainy day. Sitting on his bed, he concentrated hard. Then he penned: “Tomorrow, the quiet will disappear.”

He thought it sounded fascinating; he had no clear idea what he meant.

But morning brought a raucous world.

Not only was it regularly loud, but everything was noisy. The birds sang like alarm clocks. The trees moaned like thunder. The toast went like a cannon. The dog next door had a marching band-like bark. Even the breeze seemed to yell.

Kevin tucked his ears back in. He found himself unable to think. He could read. He was unable even to nap.

The globe swarmed and grew all day.

When nighttime arrived, Kevin felt tired and overwhelmed rather than delighted or inquisitive. The miraculous pen lay on his bedside, waiting. Kevin wasn’t sure what to write this time, though.

Tucking him in, his mother kissed his forehead.

“You ok, kiddo?” she said.

Kevin nodded very slowly. ” Just too much noise today.”

She smiled softly. “Occasional loudness of the world exists. But it always quietens once more.

Kevin spent much time staring up at the ceiling. Then, softly clutching the magical pen, he said: “Tomorrow, everything will be calm and peaceful.”

When Kevin got up the following day, the draperies were softly golden from the light. The outside wind produced soft whooshing noises. The birds were tweeting beautifully like they were singing tunes for bed backward. The bus hummed gently. Even the school’s corridor seemed gentler.

Kevin chuckled.

That evening, he felt no urge to scribble something ridiculous. Instead, he considered compassion. Concerning peace. It is wonderful when everything seems exactly right.

Kevin used the magical pen carefully that day on. He wrote about small pleasures like folks discovering missing mittens or unexpected melted snowflakes on your tongue. He occasionally produced hardly any writing at all. Sometimes, simply dreaming would be sufficient.

He saw that not always large or wild were the most magical objects. Their calm mornings were sporadic. Alternatively, someone else shares their lunch. Alternatively, the way the stars seemed under an especially dark sky.

Kevin carried the magical pen for a considerable length of time.

He did not require it to make life interesting, but rather because it served as a reminder that even one little statement…

It could significantly and beautifully change things.

He said to himself every evening before bed: “Tomorrow will be a good day.”
