The Magic Ball — Gordon J. Tabone

There are times in life where someone wishes that someone or "something" will help them make a decision. It could be something major, or maybe just something simple as to what movie to watch. Some people consult either with their spouse, family, co-worker, or their friends to help them decide. Some avoid making decisions altogether, which could lead to adverse effects. But even if someone does receive an answer to a tough question, one is never quite sure if the answer they receive is the right one (or not). Questions, questions, questions, where do we go to find the answers? Well, the "Magic Ball" just may have the answer(s) one is searching for. However, what may seem logical may not be as simple as shaking the Ball and looking underneath for the answer. Sometimes reality happens to get in the way. This story is about one person that confronts her reality when taking on the "Magic Ball," and its answers.
