Wishing Well

The Wishing Well

Manon Felos

Everyone has a wish tied to a penny, a nickel, a dime. Making it tangible, seeing it real. A dream you can hold, then toss into a fountain.

An offering to Probability, or is it Fate? For there is the alter of wishful thinking, where we drown our dreams.

So the wishes once held in our power, are now settled beneath the clear glass of a watery repository, forever out of reach. Until the day the Street Sweeper comes and claims all our dreams for himself.
