No Regrets

"You only get one wish though. That's all there is. But you can wish for absolutely anything you want."

This catches my attention instantly. "Anything?" I ask, my voice an excited whisper.

The man leans closer to me, and with a twinkle of his eyes, he says. "Anything."

I quickly said my wish, shutting my eyes so tight I start to see stars. I hear the man chuckle. And at this point I think he's just joking around with me, so I open my eyes.

And all I saw was black.

My name is Rachel, and my story started with a simple wish. A wish so simple that it felt like if it did come true, nothing much would change.

But I was wrong. Very wrong.

My wish changed everything in the course of my life. They say change can be a good thing, not in my case apparently.

But hey, no regrets... right?
