Alanzo Boone, a sweet but dimwitted boy with an eerily good singing voice, stumbled upon a miniature storefront at the edge of the Snake Howl desert. According to the purveyor, a creature calling itself Rebma, the booth was only selling one item: an impeccable pyrite specimen tuned in perfect harmonic resonance with Alanzo’s DNA.
The price: One song.
Note: Rebma also offered a complimentary back rub along with the purchase, which Alanzo politely declined.
