My third night came and I had to make my third wish.

“I wish to be rich.”

In the morning of my fourth day I was the most famous, popular and rich kid in my neighborhood.

Jason lived the luxurious and extravagant lifestyle, driving expensive cars and buying expensive clothes at the age of 17. Jason took any advice given by his parents for granted; the young man wasted all the 3 wishes on himself and forgot about the people who were responsible for his existence on earth; he didn’t care. But good things do not last for too long.

All I heard were screams of ladies and any guy respected me in the streets. I was untouchable until this night were I projected myself out of my body, hoping that my ghost friend would grant me the last wish. I met with the ghost and it told me that all my wishes are gone and it was payback time. It quickly disappeared after it said those words. I didn’t understand what the ghost meant by that. I tried to return to my body after I spoke with Michael.

But there was a big problem: Jason could not return to his body. Jason became a spirit that wandered around looking for its body.

It was like I was in a black hole. It was over for me. Like my mother always told me, “be careful what you wish for, there is no shortcuts to happiness”.

It became very clear to me that the wishes I made were not actually wishes, they were suicide notes.

I became extinct in life, and it was the end of me.
