This is information about my "stick". I have a very good friend named Emily.She found a bamboo stick in the woods.I wished hard that I could have a stick, too,and about 2 seconds later I found one!I went inside and taped masking tape on it for a handle.One day Emily slept over,and as usual we made a fort out of blankets,etc.We need sticks to hold up the sagging blankets,so we used mine.We watched a cool show about objects moving and stuff like that.So we left things certain ways to see if they would change.No such luck.The next day we tried again.Everything changed,ONLY around the stick,and when we weren"t in the room.... Objects moved to seemingly impossible places.We had rented a Super Nintendo,which was in the fort.I leaned a fork against the stick,only to find it on the Super Nintendo,a rather impossible distance away!

The stick never works when we are very close to it.Emily and I always count,usually to 5,before rushing back downstairs to see the results.The stick actually knows what we want it to move for us.It only works when Emily is over.She has curses(it"s hard to explain)and can summon ghosts.(I will tell you about it in another story). I have told you little of what the stick has moved.It has moved many objects.Why,I don"t know.I know,however,it has nothing to do with aliens!
