This is a story about a family that wore masks. They are always wearing masks. Everyone thinks they are freaky and strange, but they know they are good and friendly like all ordinary people. But one family member is not like the others, and he thinks no one loves him, which is why he goes to the attic. Every day he goes to the attic and cries, but one day he hears a voice, and he gets scared but listens to it. The magic voice said to him that he could make two wishes and that after wishing, he would never hear this voice again.

He wishes he could fly anywhere where people are better and no one would think he is a freak. But every place he went was bad, worse than home, and that’s why he wished to go back home because people were bad everywhere and his family was very sad he wasn’t home few days. He wished to go back home and see his family again and poof!!! He was home.

He never tried to go to the attic again.
