SHILOH’S WELL
by Chase Owen
Shiloh struggles with anxiety as he navigates a day filled with challenges. Desperate for a change, he goes to a wishing well outside of town and makes a wish for a better day. The wishing well’s spirit awakens to grant his wish but warns him of the consequences. Sending Shiloh back in time to relive the day. Initially, everything seems to go right for him, but soon he realizes that his friends and teachers are facing escalating troubles as a result. In a moment of panic, Shiloh calls on the well spirit for help to wish for another chance to make things right, learning that true change comes from facing challenges. Be careful what you wish for.
