Sharon's birthday!

Jim hopped out of bed, his eyes wide as he realized he hadn't gotten her a present yet. He jumped into and out of the shower, brushed his teeth, and ran a worn-out comb through his hair, and then

He went to mall, heading toward's the local hallmarks store, when he saw an odd shop called Spells R Us. He lingered at the window for a moment, tempted to go in...

Inside the small shop, it was dark and quiet. Narrow aisles were formed by towering bookcases, each loaded with books, boxes and gadgets of every description. "Hello?" Jim called. There was no response.

As he checks out the shop carefully for a gift, a voice calls out to him from the back of the shop. "Hello, I understand you want to give you girlfriend a gift for her birthday. I think I may have just the thing for you."
