Wishes Come True
Francesca Write
On Christmas people should be with their loved ones in the safety of their homes, but I don't have any loved ones, and I'm in the one place that I hate, where I swore never to come back, afraid that I'll get even more broken, and it seems that the more I try to get away, the more obstacles I encounter.
"I know a shop not very far from here, and they have the best mechanics in town. If you want, I could come with you and give you directions, I'm heading that way anyway, and for your kindness, I'll make your biggest wish come true," Said the old crazy Santa that jumped in front of my car out of nowhere.
"Can you teleport me from here? In another city, country, even on a deserted island? Anywhere but here?" I know that it wasn't nice of me to be sarcastic, but he's the reason why I have to prolong my say here.
"No." His short answer was said in an amused tone of voice, but I don't find anything funny right now.
"But that's just because that's not your biggest wish." He states it as a fact as if he's never been more sure of anything in his life.
I bite my tongue and pray that I won't see the two people I used o love the most, and which now, I despise the most, the two people responsible for my nightmares and my broken being.

My Birthday Mission
Unsweetened Cream
After twenty-five years of trying to win over Gus Harding, I failed and died by his hand.
But he didn't know that. He kept threatening, demanding I show myself immediately.
The real heiress slapped him hard. "Genevieve is dead, and you didn't even care enough to see her one last time."
Gus scoffed, claiming it was just another one of my tricks.
Only when he saw my cold, lifeless body did he finally understand. I was gone for good.
And this time, it drove him mad.
The Birthday That Buried Us
On my birthday, the dining table was loaded with all my favorites. My mom had been cooking and baking the entire afternoon, insisting everything be perfect for when Mike got home from work so we could celebrate together.
But then, he called and said his first love had been drugged at a bar, and he had to go help her.
I stopped him and begged him not to go.
Mike snapped at me. "Jesus, Em, don’t pull this jealous wife crap. She’s alone, defenseless, and unconscious—I can't let some random dude take advantage of her!"
My mother heard those words and was so enraged that she had a heart attack. She died on the spot.
Just like that, my mom died on my birthday.
I called Mike, asking him to attend my mom's funeral. But before he could reply, I saw Cathy Miller's latest Instagram post, captioned: [Mikey… after all these years, it was always you.]
Mike had liked it.
My thumb moved before my brain caught up, typing out the only words that mattered: [A homewrecker and a lying bastard. Hope you rot together.]

A Birthday and a Burial
As my murderer's claws tear into my abdomen inch by inch, my father and brother are seated in our family's banquet hall. They're celebrating Carly's 18th birthday and coming-of-age.
"You'll always be my little girl."
"Happy birthday, Carly."
They light 18 pink candles for her. On top of the exquisite red velvet cake is a wolf figurine that they carved for her, and there are well wishes and laughter all around.
Meanwhile, I'm curled up in a sewer filled with liquid silver as I bleed to death. My phone has been crushed, and I can't get out. I can only cry for help.
A few days later, my father and brother show up together at the autopsy room.
My brother stands by the operating table with a scalpel. He slices open the body and sews it back up like it's nothing. My father just covers his nose as he shoots a disgusted glance at my body. He urges my brother to hurry up with the autopsy report.
"The victim is a young female wolf presumed to be of pure lineage. Before her death, she was subjected to prolonged captivity and torture. Her throat is nearly severed, her cervical spine is dislocated, and her chest cavity has collapsed. She was also injected with liquid silver before death."
Hearing the report, my father looks so calm that it's just like a case study of no consequence.
Neither of them can recognize that the body belongs to me—their daughter and sister!

Fulfilling His True Love's 100 Wishes
On the day of my birthday party, I wait for my boyfriend to arrive so we can start the celebrations. To my surprise, all I get is a challenge from his true love.
"I'm sorry that Harv can't be with you today, Sammy. He's getting engaged to me! Don't worry, though. It's just a formality—this is the 100th wish he's helping me fulfill. I hope you don't mind!"
Tiana Lowe sends me a video along with that voice message. My boyfriend exchanges rings with her before kissing her passionately.
I immediately call him and snap, "What the hell do you mean by that, Harvey Linton?"
He gets angry. "Can you stop being so jealous all the time? I can celebrate your birthday with you every year, but Tiana only has 100 wishes. I have to help her fulfill them!"
I snap, "Fine, then. I wish you two will be together forever!"
The Grass Wishes to be Emerald
How would you define your worth?
My name is Cassey Timmerhaus, a seventeen year- old noble daughter, whose goal is to find my worth and guarantee my own happiness. In worth comes opportunities, in opportunities comes wealth, in wealth comes love, in love comes happiness, and in happiness, I can die blissfully. But the path to self- realization was harder than I presumed. The unfathomable range of emotions, the twisted justice to prove yourself righteous, the betrayals, the sinful encounters and the fight for the honorable seat, are things I never expected but had to experience.
"To honor your family is the noblest thing. How could you fail in such a task as easy as breathing?" I faced countless humiliation and disgrace; degraded by the people I call family.
"I am sorry, but how could we dare tarnish a lady's hand by making her work for us, mere commoners? Surely she wasn't casted away to be like this. For a noble like her, it would be better to starve than sweat her palms." The rejections from those who once respected me ruined my valued trust.
She once said that in this endless pit of woes, thy love shall save me. But, I doubt that. Even if I have love, will I be able to make it last? Will I be able to make him stay? Will I ever be worth of such fortune, when I am just a grass?
