Eye-opener
Minty greens, pale pinks, powder blues, butter cream yellows, and soft purple beans decorated the inside of the jar. The vinyl chalkboard label on the side read “Caution: Do Not Open.” On closer inspection a faint rustling echoed from the jar paired with a subtle movement. The jar sat on a dusted desk in the depths of this mysterious old bookstore; someone had been sitting here. However, the shelves in this section were long forgotten and littered with strange of books and puzzling items like this glass jar. A jar fill of pastel coloured jellybeans and one tiny living person.

Who is this tiny person now? A prisoner in the bookstore perhaps?

A pixie? A man from lilliput? Donald Trump after he was zapped by a shrinking ray? Who might it be? Intriguing.

The jelly beans had my full attention until you mentioned a tiny living person. Then I’m like, wait, what? I can’t wait to find out more on the next installment. That and maybe why jelly beans are dangerous.

100% believable, as I would absolutely, positively live in a jar of jellybeans if given the option.
