Gabe knew the perfect thing to curse. He ran upstairs to his older sister Paige's room. Although she was just a few years older than him, she loved to bully and tease him. Well, with some help from the spell he could get a little revenge.
Sitting on a small pillow in her room was her precious 'wishing rock'. It was really just an ordinary polished stone. But ever since their father had given it to her when she was a little girl, Paige had always made a wish on it when she was feeling sad or angry. None of them ever came true, but Paige seemed to find it calming and continued the ritual even when she became a teenager.
Gabe held the rock in his hand.
"With the power I have, I morph this object in my hand to do my malicious bidding!"
Gabe smiled as the rock slowly warmed up in his hand. He could barely contain his excitement. It was working!
"Whoever wishes upon this stone will get the opposite of what they want!" said Gabe with a smile.
A cold wind blew threw the room. Then the stone turned cold in his hands.
"Huh. I expected something a little more melodramatic," said Gabe.
Gabe smiled as he looked around for something else to cure. Maybe her bra or her clothes. Suddenly, he heard the front door open. His sister was home much earlier than he expected.
"Shit, I wish I could curse more of her stuff before she gets in here, " said Gabe, not realizing he was still holding the stone.
Gabe felt a brief moment of confusion. When his mind cleared, he realized that he could not remember the spell. He did not even remember where he found it. It seemed like the spell was now a one time thing and he would only be able to curse a single object. Worse, his sister had somehow warped to just outside her bedroom door.
"What? How did I get here?" asked Paige from the other side of the door.
Gabe silently cursed and ducked into his sister's closet, tossing the cursed wishing stone back onto its resting place on Paige's pillow.
Well, at least I know it works, thought Gabe, as he watched his sister enter the room from his hiding spot in the closet. He smiled as he watched his sister reach for her precious stone.
This is gonna be good, thought Gabe with a smile as his sister made an idle wish.
