Once a year, the sky in your character’s town changes color - everyone has 24 hours to make a wish. The wish in question must be written down and sealed in a jar quickly, before the sky returns to normal. Most people wish for small things, like a successful harvest or an extended period of sunshine. But this year, something unexpected happens - your character's wish escapes from its jar before it’s fully sealed. Write a story about what happens next and how your character deals with their loose wish.
Stuck? Consider these starters:
What does your character write down, and why? How does the wish escape - and what does it do once it’s free? Do others in the town eventually find out about the wish? Can a wish still come true if it doesn’t follow the rules?
