Love, a Loss of Time Wesley Wheeler

Charlie Hughes is a normal guy with a normal job, who just married the love of his life, Stephanie, and all would be perfect were he not plagued by his dreams of becoming a professional baseball pitcher--a dream that had been cut short by an arm injury in college. As the couple is moving into their first home, Charlie stumbles across an old journal. In it, he finds the tale of a curious boy who finds a magical pocket watch that will grant three wishes, but the handwritten story ends before the boy can use them. Thinking little of it, Charlie is interupted when a package arrives on his doorstep. In it is a pocket watch just like the one in the story. After wasting a wish that indeed comes true, Charlie wishes that his crippling injury had never occurred. It is his dream come true, and he is surrounded by all he ever wanted, except for one thing: Stephanie. Unhappy and unable to use his third wish, he must get back to Stephanie, and the life that wasn't so imperfect after all. If only it were that easy.
