Curses are blessings and blessings are curses, it all depends on how you look at it. When the man found the store he didn't know what he was in for. The woman at the counter told him, "Everything has a price but it's free." He walked through the aisles and found a painting with an abstract covered up face. It spoke to his soul as some art can, to some people. He asked her how much, she said it was free with the price that it may grant your true heart wishes. He asked her about what that meant. She told him that it had a specific goal, so it would only grant wishes that it suited its goal. Wishes made with true of heart intention. He asked her what the paintings goal was, She told him, that it was to open up a world. It was a portal into another dimension, but a specific wish must be sacrificed to open up that dimension.
The man thanked the woman for the painting and took it home. He hung it proudly on his home for years. Wishing upon it hours on hours. It plagued him for years. Then he figured it was some stupid story some lady told him because she was going out of business. So she had no way to store all that junk she had collected. I mean who sells that kind of stuff anyway?! It was an indoor yard sale.
The man died and the painting was given to his children, and his children gave it to their children. They saw it as an heirloom from when their grandfather started to collect art. From that moment on, their grandfather had made a great deal of money out of buying and selling art. A grandson actually sold the face painting to a couple for a few years until the husband died and the wife had to sell all her property to get by. So the painting was sold back to the family.
One day. Joseph Mkango on of the great grandsons of Franco Mkango the man who bought the painting, looked at the painting. After years of feeling the pain of an unrequited love, he wished to give away his broken soul and offered it to the painting for peace of mind. He didn't know about the portal, that story was lost in the shuffle.
A broken soul with a true heart intention. That is what the painting wanted, It granted his wish. Joseph felt a sweep of infinite peace come over as a card appeared on the floor. A small card with a the face painting on it. The face painting was gone. It had turned into a playing card. Joseph tried to pick it up but the wind grabbed it and took it out the window. As if it was not for him to touch just yet.
It flew for miles landing on cars and the pockets of adults. Until it found a 14 year old boy who took care of his family. His father hurt himself badly at the job. Shortly after, he was fired and didn't have enough money to hire a lawyer. So his son worked at a dinner, went to school and still tutored some classmates for free after school. One day he fainted out of exhaustion and when he woke up, he found The Face Card. on his body in the emergency room. He fell asleep.
Enter Capoffee!
When the boy arrived in Peace And Love Rally Land he was no longer a boy, he was a Capoffee in the middle or rush hour at the ChinChin ChimiChuri Cafe. But there was no one there, he was alone. He felt at home but abstract. His hand were coffee pots and his feet were coffee cups.

When the boy arrived in Peace And Love Rally Land he was no longer a boy, he was a Capoffee in the middle or rush hour at the ChinChin ChimiChuri Cafe. But there was no one there, he was alone. He felt at home but abstract. His hand were coffee pots and his feet were coffee cups.
He had a giant peace symbol on his chest and his head had 4 steaming hair strands. But he was alone and there was no one there to take care of. He felt so peaceful and happy. He didn't want to leave. He served himself some pie and some juice. He was actually not fond of coffee at all. took a nap and when he woke up he was not in that body anymore. He was back in the emergency room with his entering the room.
"Are you ok?" asked his sister.
"Yes, I am fine, but I had this strange dream that I was a character in a cartoon world. A coffee character and when I relaxed I left."
"Tell us more about it when you get home." Said his father "You need to take some time off, your doctor said you passed out from dehydration and exhaustion. You've been working yourself to help the family. Don't worry about our situation we'll find a way. Your aunt has offered us to move in with her till we get back on our feet. We are not going to be homeless for long son."
And they weren't, because the boy learned new skills in school and how to work smarter. With his whole family created a business and eventually opened up their own store.
Where did the card go?
To the next child that needed to know...
