One Wish
By
Jake Bible

She blew out the candles and plunged the room into darkness.

The singing had stopped and no one said a word. They waited in that darkness, breaths held, bodies shivering.

“Where is it?” Charlotte hissed. “I made my wish. Where is it?”

“Birthday magic is powerful magic,” Norris replied. “But it is also fallible. Hard to control. Hard to focus.”

They waited some more then Charlotte snapped, “Light them again. I’ll try a new wish.”

“You only get–.” Norris gasped and fell.

“One wish is all you need,” the unearthly voice growled. “More than you will ever need, dear Charlotte.”
