Growing wishes

Growing wishes

She rollerbladed across the night sky avoiding planets and stars nearby. 

 

With her speed, she would leave a trail behind, and as she ran she collected wishes thrown at her from the earth. 

 

She could see the wishes fly out of the earth and slow down as they got to space. Moving fast without stopping she would grab the wishes and put them in a backpack. 

 

At the end of her route, she emptied the pack onto a desk for the wishes to be sorted and distributed. 

 

Meteor shower night was the busiest night of the year. Everyone was working and the wishes would come by the dozen. 

 

Inside the office, the wish would be carefully looked at by an expert with one of those eyeglass zoom things. 

 

The bright crystal ball had a sequence of images playing inside. 

 

With a very small hammer, the expert would crack it open and let the inside pour out into a cup that then would be frozen and planted. 

 

The wish would grow slowly from the dirt after some time left bathing in the light from a star. 

 

Every star would have a type of wish that its light could help grow.
