I can’t cope with it anymore, it started on my birthday, my friends and family had been singing happy birthday to me and eagerly waiting for me to blow out my candles and make my wish. Staring at me wide eyed with excitement.

Shortly after I made my wish I dismissed myself to use the toilet, when I exited the toilet I noticed everyone was still staring at me, I asked what it was, and they just stood there, frozen, like time had stopped, their wide eyes absolutely fixated on me. My friend and I went into the kitchen and ate some of the cake , he seemed oblivious to the dozen people staring at me.

Its been the same ever since, I go to school and the whole class just stares at me, at the park everyone just stares at me, they don’t talk. They don’t even respond, even animals have been affected, my dog hasn’t eaten, I can see his ribs. The only person not affected by this is my friend, he hasn’t left my side since this ordeal began.

But just lately I’ve noticed something, I’ve been so concentrated on their eyes I didn’t look at the rest of their faces. And everybody looks scared, they look terrified, like their seeing the devil himself and they aren’t looking at me, no, they are looking at my friend. I look at my friend and he’s smiling.

I should have never wished for my friend to come back from the dead.
