Finding Treasure

Life was brighter for Gloria after she found the Jewel of Odan while vacationing on Rigel VII. The old merchant woman looked more like a witch than a human had no idea what she had in her shop. If she had known she would have had a higher price on The Jewel. And the raspy laugh. She was so thrilled to make a sale. Probably the only sale she made that week.

Gloria didn’t care. She took the Jewel of Odan in her left hand and said goodbye to Nash, the man he was. She held The Jewel and begged to be transformed into the prettiest girl to ever live. The Jewel delivered big time as you can see. Not only is Gloria beautiful, but popular and cool.

There are easy and hard parts living life as a beautiful girl. The easy parts for Gloria include: all the attention, people always wanting to help her and be with her, and the compliments. The hard parts were:too much attention from people she did not like and the sex. It took a while but she succumbed to the advances made by all the guys. After a while she regretted some of the guys she slept with.

After Gloria was over halfway to triple digits she decided to pick a decent man and settle down. Yeah, she knows she is settling and will probably stray a time or three in her marriage. She can live with it though. Pretty or not, age will do what it does to all girls. She has to make hay when the sun shines and have ‘ol reliable waiting for her when the sun starts to set.
