For 30 years, Donald prayed day and night, standing on one leg, not eating or drinking anything.
God finally relented and appeared in front of him. “What do you want?” HE asked Donald. “I want my very own wishing star,” Donald replied, dreaming of the thousands of wishes that the star would help fulfill.
“As you wish,” said God.
The next morning, Donald got up excitedly, and told the star, “Take me to Paris for breakfast.”
The star replied, “Wish you a very good morning Sir. Wish you a Merry Christmas. Wish you a very Happy New Year! Wish you…”

My first story in 2018 has been written for Charli Mills and her Carrot Ranch Literary Community. The prompt this week was:
December 28, 2017, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about a wishing star. It can be central to the story or used in a different way. You can have a character interact or not. Go where the prompt leads.
Let me take this opportunity to wish (pun unintended) a very Happy New Year to everyone I have come in touch with (or remained in touch with) through my stories on this blog. Keep spreading joy, and it is bound to come back to you sooner than later 🙂 Cheers.

LOL – not quite the wishing star he had hoped for. Good one.
And Happy New Year. A bit of humour to see it in is great.
Thank you so much Irene.
Haha – very well done! Wish you a Happy New Year too 🙂
Thank you so much Dahlia
A beautiful lesson to start the new year. Wish you a great year ahead.
Thank you so much.
Not the kind of wishing star he expected! The humor is applied so well to create the twist. Thank you kindly for the joyous wishes at Carrot Ranch. Wishing you all that luck you seek in your writing endeavors (I have a good feeling that your stars will align).
Thank you so much for the encouragement Charli, really appreciate it 🙂
