My name is Kyle Peterborough. I'm 17 years old, and this is my story. Yesterday, I was walking home from Tom--my friend--'s house, when I found this gold coin on a string. It was dangling above a street drain, so I was lucky it didn't fall. I examined it. It had a white and black spiral on it and a one of those things you find on the back of a wind-up toy on its side. On the back, it read, "THE COIN OF CONTROL" with "Property of Magika Inc." under it. That was the company who did that hypnotist guy TV show! Great, right? Wrong.
I thought I'd get revenge on my bratty older sister, Ally. She was 19 and always teased me. But she was waiting for me behind the door. "What's this?" she sneered, snatching it from my hands. I grabbed it back and closed the door. "You'll see." I swung it in front of her eyes. She laughed, but slowed down as her eyes glazed over. 'Uh oh,' I thought.
