Do You Trust Me?

"Do you trust me? Now jump!" Said the little boy to the girl. "This is for your own good...Do you trust me? And she jumped into the pitch black darkness. It was a wishing well.  She couldn't see the boy and she still hasn't landed in the water below.  She was alone...It was dark and cold and this was a freefall into the unknown. But the boy had been holding her hand and she knew he knew what was at the bottom of the well.  Even if she didn't know what to expect she trusted him.  And it was in fact a wishing well where dreams come true. And she opened her eyes in this freefall and started to be able to make out images in the world that was around her. And she could see light. But she still could not see the boy. She finally plunged into the water...And there were a million little shiny coins that had been everyone's wishes.  And she smiled because she had trusted that boy and found riches. Not the kind you can spend, but the kind that matters.  And she most definitely would jump again if he asked her to.

The end.
