When I woke up I was laying down on mt bed in my room again. It was like I had never "died".

woah! if this is what death is like, maybe I do want to live forever.

I knew some people talked about a nice afterlife. You know, Heaven and all. I'm not saying that I don't believe in that, but after my recent experience, it's going to be a lot harder.

So, there! I had sucessfully wasted my first wish!

As I sat on my bed, I realized my problem.

I'm a wishful thinker.

I'm also used to just wishing things and not having them come true.

But now things are going to be different for me.

I need to remember that things are different now, and all my wishes will come true, whether I like it or not!

Suddenly I looked at my clock. I had been gone three days!!!!!!!!!

oh my god, where was my family?

"Mom?!?", I called.

***No answer*****

Then I heard the door open. I ran down to see who was there.

"Mom!"

But it wasn't my mom. It was the lady from the bookstore.

"O-oh. I'm sorry. I thought..."

"No, I'm the lady. But you will see your mother again. Just not as soon as you may hope."

"Oh."

"Didn't use your first wish so well did you."

"No. I just keep forgetting that they will all come true now."

"I see. Give me your hand."

As I gave her my hand, she ran her fingers over it and whispered something. When I took it away, there was a small inscription:

                                            "Be careful what you wish for..for your wishes will come true."

"This will remind you.", she said.

When I looked up to thank her she was gone.

I smiled and looked at my hand. Then I went back up to my room, or what now was my room anyway.
