A wave
lapped over her left foot, filling her shoe with icy water. She jumped sideways before the next wave
hit. Waves shouldn’t reach this high on
the little beach. She puzzled over it
for a moment. Maybe a storm was
coming? But the sky was clear, filled
with stars and a brilliant full moon.
In fact,
her wishing star, or satellite, twinkled even more brightly. “Star light, star bright. First star I see tonight.”
She
chuckled. Well, it was the first star
she’d noticed that night at any rate.
“May I have, may I wish–”
She
paused again, and thought. “What I wish
tonight.”
