When Jon reappeared, he found himself in an aisle of shelves filled with DVD's. Looking around, he realized that he was in a local video rental store he had gone to on occasion. At one point, he had even thought about getting a job there. Could his mother be working in this place?
"Yo, Jane," Jon heard a guy say. He followed the voice towards a pudgy-looking twenty-something guy. He was leaving the back room and walking towards the checkout counter. Jon followed him and spotted his mom immediately. She was wearing a store uniform with a little tag labeled MANAGER.
She manages a video store? Jon thought. What a step down from working in law office!
Jon's mom (Jane) leaned against the counter and sighed. "Yeah, Willy?" she asked, chewing gum.
All at once, Jon was disgusted. Jane's hair was a mess, she wore no make-up, her clothes were disheveled, and she acted so lazy. How could she make herself so unpresentable?
But then Jon remembered that he had the stone. He could make a few wishes to help his mother. But what should he wish for?
