Certificate of Authenticity

As he stood by the wishing well, the man closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He could feel the cool breeze on his face and the gentle sound of water trickling in the background. In his hand, he held a small coin, one that he had been saving for this moment. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the coin into the well, watching as it made a small splash and disappeared into the darkness below. The man closed his eyes again, silently making his wish. He didn't know if it would come true, but there was something comforting about the act of throwing a coin into the well and putting his hopes into the universe. As he opened his eyes, he felt a sense of calm wash over him, as if he had unburdened himself of a weight he had been carrying. As he walked away from the well, the man felt a renewed sense of hope and optimism. Even if his wish didn't come true, he knew that he had taken a small step towards making it a reality. And in that moment, he realized that sometimes, all it takes is a simple act of faith to change the course of our lives.
