Truth be told, it has been a long night.
Not a bad night, just a long one. An endless dinner, so many courses and then the drive home. You're lucky to have made it back in one piece. Pitch black because of course they only light the roads in cities - who needs to see where they're going between cities?
Red lines through city names tell you the darkness returns.
And yet, somehow, you make it back.
You wash the remnants of the day off, you can't go to bed if you don't.
You wake and make wishes. Not penny-in-a-well wishes. These are whispered wishes, vibrations received and perceived even though you are alone and you have no coins to toss into the source.
You don't wonder if these will come true. As soon as you spoke the words you knew they would.
