      <![CDATA[ I'm not sure if this moment is real or imagined—<strong>of finding, in my mother's closet, the Kiddie City receipt for the presents Santa brought me</strong>.

It is <strong>the opposite reaction of most "lost of innocence" short fictions</strong>, and so that is your Friday Writing Prompt: Write of a discovery that destroys innocence in the most wonderfulest of ways, leading not to sorrow but to joy, the kind you get when you unwrap a present &amp; find the thing you were too afraid to wish for, to even whisper it aloud, but there it is. Yours.
