Karyn's bedroom had never seemed to small. Maybe it wasn't the size of the room, but rather the size of the problem she was facing. Waves of guilt were washing over her as she remembered wishing the fateful wish that had caused Jon to change. The images of Sarah and Jon flicking the sperm off their hands in perfect unison were burned into her brain. All she had to do was close her eyes to bring them back to her.
Again tears began to flow down her cheeks. Normally she wasn't the crying type, but Karyn felt so overwhelmed, so alone by the problem, that they came unbidden. She'd been sitting on her bed for the past hour-and-a-half fingering the stone trying to come up with a wish to fix Jon. No knowing what had gone wrong with the last wish, though, made it difficult. Every time she thought of a wish to fix everything, she was plagued with the doubt that she was going to make it worse.
Which was a real possibility.
Her last wish had caused major changes that she never anticipated. She never meant for Jon to mirror Sarah's every move, but rather to take on her personality. And only for an hour! How had that caveat not worked? Again she racked her brain, but to no avail. No answers would come.
The stress of the day must have been getting to her, because after a few more moments she lay down, her eyelids got heavy and she drifted off to sleeeee......
RING RING
It was her cell phone. The morning light was in her eyes. Karyn sat up. Had she fallen asleep? Did she lay there all night?
RING RING
She grabbed her phone from the night stand and looked at the number.
It was Jon.
