When I was 11 I had just moved to New Jersey and I had no friends.One day my cousin sent me a Wish Box he made himself for me. inside was a piece of paper that I was supposed to write my wish on. I just put it away somewhere and thought it was useless. One day I was bored and I made up an Imaginary friend and named him Robby. Two days later,I found the Wish Box my cousin made for me. I took out the paper and wished that Robby would be real. Three days later my mom and dad had to go to a wedding and I was home alone for the night. I was sitting on my bed listening to music and all of a sudden,I heard "Hi. I'm Robby."

This scared me so much I could't talk but,then he said,"You should't ignore me.You're the one who wished I was real."

I looked around I could't see him and I finnaly managed to say "Where are you?"

Then he said "Down here."

I knew this just could't be real and I hid under my covers. After that I would here his voice once in a while and just ignore it. Its been a few years and now I'm 15. I have't heard his voice since we moved back to New York last year.
