Jackson Jones The Tale Of A Boy An Elf And A Very Stinky Fish – Jennifer Kelly

It was Jackson, but older. About ten years older. The twenty-and-a-half- year-old Jackson grinned broadly, clutching the trophy. He was taller, broader in the shoulders and…he was the captain of the team? Jackson looked at the other players in the picture. They were all smiling. He looked back at himself. Wow. On the gold frame was another brass plate with an inscription.

It read: Ten. Ten what? “How on earth could that be me? That’s ridiculous!” Jackson’s mind went a mile a minute. (That’s one point six kilometers a minute, for you metric folk.) Jackson didn’t know what to think. He looked at the next picture. It had another gold frame with another little sign, but it read: Forty.

Jackson peered intently at the group shot. Fifteen people, all about forty years old, sat in three rows. They wore important-looking, official blazers. Behind them was a university banner. Jackson scanned the faces looking back at him. There he was! Wow. He was old! He had graying hair and eyes that were starting to crinkle around the edges. He even had a moustache! Jackson laughed out loud. He was a teacher! Jackson remembered how his classmates laughed at him when he told them he wanted to be a teacher.

His teachers told him he had to work harder, to study more, and to quit daydreaming for goodness’ sakes! Jackson…a teacher. Wow. “Meeka, what are these?” he asked quietly, still staring at the pictures. She turned and walked back to him. “Oh, those are just the future mirrors.” “Future mirrors? This isn’t a mirror; it’s a portrait!” “They mirror who you will be later on.” “So that’s me?” Meeka shrugged, unconcerned. “If that’s what you see, then that’s what you are.” Jackson ran to the next mirror, nearly knocking Meeka over in his haste.

“Hey!” Jackson was shocked by the next mirror. The little sign in the gold frame read: Sixty. The man in the portrait was old. His white hair was slicked down and he had deep wrinkles on his gentle, friendly face. It was Jackson’s face. A very old Jackson. The very old Jackson was shaking hands with someone important-looking. The prime minister? A flag stood upright on a pole beside them.

A banner hung over the figures shaking hands for the camera. It read, Thompson Award. Jackson laughed out loud. One only received the Thompson Award after writing something completely brilliant, such as Thompson’s Full-Mouth Translation Book. Imagine! Who was the daydreamer now? Wait. Was this real? Was this really Jackson’s story? “Jackson! Let’s go! I thought you wanted a tour!” “But Meeka look!
