"Hailey? What would you wish for if you had all the wishes in the world?"
My friend was always a wishful thinker, and she had just been readinga book about this girl who could think things into reality. Personally, that would be hard because if you had a scary thought or something and it came true....that wouldn't be the best thing for you. Apparently, though, that didn't happen to this girl.
"I don't know."
"Oh, c'mon. There has to be something you would wish for!!!!!"
"Well...I'd wish for the power to make all wishes come true."

Later in a bookstore:
I was looking for a new book to read. I had some money and my friend said there was a new bestseller that looked cool. I'm not a huge reader but every once in a while, I like a good book.
The woman in the bookstore was watching me and after a while she said:"Can I help you?"
"Oh. I was just looking for something to read. I wish I could find it."
"You wish for a lot of things don't you?"
"Y-yeah. How'd you know?"
"Darlin' I know a lot of people and I can tell a lot of things about them. Do you have a sad life?"
"Well, sort of."
"You wish you could change it?"
"Yes, I guess."
"Well, come with me."
I followed the lady to a small room toward the back of the bookstore.
"I can give you anything you want.And you can make any of your wishes come true, with this simple tattoo."
She showed me a picture of a wishing dandilion.
"Are you in?"
"Yes, I guess, if it will really make my life better."
I looked at her as she slowly blew a wishing dandilion atmy chest, right over my heart. It had to be here so that no one but me would touch it. As she blew, each petal scarred me making the shape of the flower. The deal was, that every time I touched the tattoo and said my wish, it would come true. The only thing was, that I only had 120 wishes. One for each petal. Once I was out of wishes, I was out of them for good.
"Now darlin', be careful what you wish for, because all your wishes will come true by touchin' this. Use it wisely, or you will surely regret it."
The lady then said goodbye to me and I left the bookstore. I was confused.
What had I just gotten myself into?
Was this going to turn out bad?
It was too late now though, all I could do was WISH.
