She closed my eyes for a second and remembered what she had been trying so hard to forget. Lying still, allowing the memories to rush over her like floodwaters, she felt her heart start to race. That's what happens when you have too much time on your hands; you slip into the wells of your soul and dig up old wishes that never came true.
And even as the wishes clung to her neck, threatening to take her under, she realized that it wasn't all for naught. At least she had the courage to keep wishing, even as the wishes piled like loose change in her piggy bank heart... Even a pile of pennies is worth something.
