Sam discovered an interesting device that looked like an Apple TV remote in the ravine near his home. This magical device changed Sam's life completely.

To all the new followers: thanks for following!  These days I am spending more time reading than writing (I know, I am really slow).  But I do have quite a few 60-second-story ideas brewing in my head.  Hope I will have time to turn these ideas into real stories in the next few weeks.  

In the meantime, I am reading Tree of Life (see my reading list).  It is really good!

Your 60 second story reminds me of a scene from a popular Hindi movie..

There are two brothers (one arrogant other idealistic), seperated due to circumstances of life in their youth, meet again all grown up.

Arrogant brother: "today I have a bungalow, car, money, all the name and fame in life and you *looking down his nose* what do you have?"

Idealistic brother *back straight shoulders wide* proudly answers: "brother, I have our mother." 

:)
P.S thank you for wattpad!!

I agree with deathofcool, sir.  The reads still seems to be faulty.

@allenlau The vote counting seems to be fine now, but as far as I can tell, the reads are still mired.

@xxmajaine Never thought about that but I do see the similarities. Perhaps that's where my story came from.
