Beware of wishes.”\n\nSnow couldn’t help himself and blurted out “Oh come on how cliche is that”.\n\n“If you don’t believe its power foolish bear then go ahead and make a wish” said the griffin who was suddenly right beside him. \n\nSnow was startled, ‘how could such a large creature get so close so silently?’ he thought and then realized he was opening the box. He tried to resist but it seemed like his body was moving on its own. He watched in terror as he picked up the paw and held it out. \n\nHe couldn’t believe what was happening but he had to make a safe wish just in case this was real and not just a nightmare.\n\n“I wish for the coziest, longest lasting socks!” he said and saw the fingers on the paw curl.\n\nThe griffin was momentarily stunned by such a bizarre wish.\n\nSnow’s body started to tingle all over, his arms starting to fuse with his torso, while simultaneously his torso and head started to separate in the middle.\n\nThe griffin cackled malevolently “Fool! You could have enjoyed wealth, fame or power. The paw curses all who use it to a dark fate, but you could have at least enjoyed your wish at the start. Instead you have transformed yourself into a pair of socks. I can’t imagine the torment fate has planed for you”.\n\nAs he felt his body collapsing and shrinking Snow caught a glimpse of himself in a mirror. He was transforming into a pair of fuzzy socks, with nothing to identify who he was except a simplified likeness of his face like a decorating the toe. He did feel warm and cozy but this wasn’t what he had meant in his wish!\n\n“Lets make you useful” the griffin chuckled picking up the fuzzy socks and stuffing them in his pocket. When Snow was finally removed from the pocket he found himself in a thrift shop. The griffin tossed him on a pile of loose socks. “Enjoy your existence foolish bear” the griffin said with a sneer and left the bear to whatever whims the fates had in store.\n\nFor several days Snow lay in the pile, and while several shoppers considered him they all returned him to the pile. Eventually Snow was picked up by one of the stores workers, a raccoon that had been caught in the rain and needed some dry socks for his feet. He wore Snow all day as he worked hard unloading shipments in the stockroom. The socks were comfortable but warm and it wasn’t long until his feet were sweaty. Snow learned he had retained all his senses except taste, but in return his sense of smell had been enhanced. Silently and undetectably by the wearer he sniffed deeply and enjoying his own scent.\n\nThe new socks were so comfortable the raccoon rarely took them off in the weeks to come. While he may have been a hard worker at work the raccoon was lazy at home and despised doing laundry. No matter how dingy and stinky the socks became he never washed them. \n\nOne day after a workout at the gym the racoon decided to go for a swim and accidentally left the socks on a bench.

Snow couldn’t help himself and blurted out “Oh come on how cliche is that”.

“If you don’t believe its power foolish bear then go ahead and make a wish” said the griffin who was suddenly right beside him.

Snow was startled, ‘how could such a large creature get so close so silently?’ he thought and then realized he was opening the box. He tried to resist but it seemed like his body was moving on its own. He watched in terror as he picked up the paw and held it out.

He couldn’t believe what was happening but he had to make a safe wish just in case this was real and not just a nightmare.

“I wish for the coziest, longest lasting socks!” he said and saw the fingers on the paw curl.

The griffin was momentarily stunned by such a bizarre wish.

Snow’s body started to tingle all over, his arms starting to fuse with his torso, while simultaneously his torso and head started to separate in the middle.
