Wishing

Written by Jacob Ibrag

‘You’re trying too hard kid. Alright, look this way.

What you do is close your eyes and think of the thing you’ve

always wanted.’ And what if I don’t want anything? Or maybe it’s

that the thing I want is a person, one that is no longer here. Wishing

won’t deliver her soul back into her body. Wishing won’t give her a

second chance to breathe. ‘No, I suppose it won’t. But maybe

wishing to never forget her smile and the way she used

to say your name, maybe that’s worth trying.’
