Gwen was wandering around as she usually did at night. Having to stay out of the sunlight meant a lot of sleeping during the day and the night with nothing to do but familiarize herself with the area. She'd been avoiding the wishing well for some time but this time, she stopped and looked at it for a long moment. She picked up one of the coins and turned it over in her hand again and again. What harm could making a wish do, right? She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, letting it out slowly. She mentally made a wish, hoping to one day be able to step into the sunlight again, before tossing the coin into the well. She kept her eyes closed for a moment, then turned away, continuing on her walk. No point in standing there and waiting for nothing to happen. She was about twenty feet from the wishing well when she had to stop. Her head was pounding and the ache started to spread, down her neck and across her entire body. She groaned and curled up in a ball in the middle of the street, hoping it would be over soon. The pain increased for just long enough to illicit a scream from her before she went unconscious. |
