petraarkanianPetra sits on her bed, legs stretched out in front of her. A small ball with symbols upon it sits at her feet. Kit, her black and white male cat, bats at the ball, treating it just like a small ball of yarn.
"She said it would give three wishes Kit, only three. What would I wish for though?"
The cat looks up at Pet, then back down at the ball. He bats it again, and it rolls to the far end of the bed. He pounces and catches it before it can roll off.
The undignified leap makes Petra laugh. She reaches over and retrieves both cat and ball. "What would you wish for? To talk?" Kit doesn't reply. "No, you're my sweet darling, you wouldn't possibly need to talk. Talking is for people that need things, and you've got everything you need already, don't you?" As she talks Petra beings to pet the cat, which in turn, begins to purr.
"I guess there is a lot of crap in my background I could wish away..." Petra's lip curls at that.
"But that would be cheating... If I could just... sleep well at night, that might be enough for me. No, sleep without the dreams that have me wake up screaming." Petra ponders that one for a while, then reaches down to retrieve the ball from next to her.
"WI want the dreams that wake me up screaming to stop or be toned down. I think it might be necessary to have them... but then need to stop consuming my life." She examines the cavats, she does not want this wish to go wrong. It would be so easy....
Holding the ball in her hand she makes her wish.....
