The Day After
a Price of a Wish story
by Abbacor
* It is the day after James has been brought to a
hospital in central USA.
He lies in a private room completely encased in a head to toe glow-in-the-dark
cast that only has opening just big enough for medical tubes and wires to pass
through, nothing else is exposed. Doctors are at a loss as to what to do and
how to handle their patient while reports of the effect of James’ wish begin to
crop up from further and further away from where he lay.
In London,
England a young
woman is about to embark on an adventure that will impact her very life in an
unexpected and unfortunate way. Her choice of materials will manage to fulfill
the necessary criteria to fall under the now spreading effect that is occurring
with any cast that is applied. While the wave of affected people would not
reach her part of the world for another four to five days, her own desires and
dreams are just as strong as those James holds. Because of this her own
creation will ‘come to life’ much earlier than others in her region and she
will become the very first non-medical recipient of James’ wish in the world. But
due to the differences and timing of her situation her story was lost in the
hysteria that quickly erupted. *
