[ WP ] Write a story beginning with : `` Are you buying that or what ? ''

`` Are you buying that or what?'' Sarah said, looking at her friend Mike. 
 
 `` Oh, I do n't know. I really should n't,'' Mike replied, while placing the box back onto the shelf. `` I'd love to have one, but I ca n't really afford it.'' 
 
 Sarah picked it and up started turning it around, examining the box. `` What does it do anyway? It looks kind of neat.'' 
 
 `` Yeah, I saw a review of it. You just put the band around your head and then it amplifies your thoughts. It lets you bend reality, just a little.'' Mike watched as Sarah read the words off the back of the box. 
 
 `` Oh yeah,'' Sarah replied enthusiastically. `` I heard about that. Jenny got one last month. You should totally get it.'' 
 
 Mike thought for a moment about the cost. He could buy it, but then he would n't have much left for the rest of the week. `` If I bought it,'' Mike asked, `` what do you think we should use it for?'' 
 
 `` Oh, I do n't know.'' She turned the box again and started reading, `` With practice you can alter reality to your will. Change the color of a room without painting, fix a dent in your car, summon dead relatives, create small objects out of nothing. Your imagination is the only limit!'' Sarah stopped for a moment and thought of all the wonderful things she could use it for. `` Jenny bought it to fix her teeth. She really hates going to the dentist.'' 
 
 `` I wonder if it worked? What does it say down there,'' Mike asked, pointing at a bright orange sticker with very small text. 
 
 `` Looks like a warning label. Caution,'' Sarah read,'' this device should not be used by minors. Do not operate while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or in a bad mood. Manufacturer is not responsible for undesired reality changes.'' 
 
 `` Hmm. Maybe with practice I can create a duplicate key for my apartment, or give my cat a new hair color.'' Mike took the box from Sarah and looked it over again. `` You know what,'' he said. `` I'm going to get it.''
