Infinite POWER
"Whah you lookeen for?" the bent, old Chinese man asked. Your once-a-month jaunt to a mystical/occultic/curio shop that you've never been to before has led to this question being asked of you more than once.
It would be foolish of you to say that you don't know, because you know exactly what you want - the same thing you've wanted (in different ways and forms) since elementary school - POWER. As you hem and haw, trying to think of an answer that politely says, "Leave me alone, you probably don't have it anyway," the old man squints at you, as if he is trying to look through you. No sooner has he lifted his head and met your gaze with his than he proclaims, "You seek powah - but hava no ordeenary thust for eet." He now has your complete (albeit mouth-agape) attention.
"Come wiss me eef you would hava thees powah," the old man gestures to you, almost over his shoulder, as he has already turned to go between two heavy purple curtains which you swear you had not previously seen in the dusty bookshelf behind him.
