I saw a well in the distance and ran towards it. My little sister followed me. I peeked inside to see thousands of pennies glimmering in the water. My sister was too short so she kept jumping.

" I wanna see! I wanna see!" she shouted. I groaned as I carried her up so that she could sit on the side of the well.  She peered into the well.

" I wanna make a wish!" she said. I took out my purse and took out two pennies. One for me and one for her.

" Here." I handed her one.

I closed my eyes and started thinking of a wish. I heard something drop into the water. Maybe it was my sister's penny. I dropped my penny into the well and heard no sound. I opened my eyes and turned to my right. My sister was not there. I peered into the well.

My sister's head was in an odd angle. Her eyes were open and staring straight at me. The water was no longer clear. It was full of blood. There was a penny on her forehead and another penny floating on the red water beside her and the scary part was, that she was smiling. I started shaking when I realized that there was no sign of her accidentally dropping in. I didn't hear any sound when I closed my eyes moments ago. My sister made a death wish.

I screamed.
