Careless Wishes

By: Wil Adams

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Once upon a time, magic was sacred. Wishes were whispered with reverence, and fairies like Zartan answered them with care. But centuries of neglect have dulled the awe, and now humans toss wishes like curses—careless, thoughtless, and dangerously literal.
When Narese, a no-nonsense fairy guild supervisor, discovers the damage wrought by Zartan’s magical apathy, she delivers a punishment as poetic as it is cruel: Zartan must grant every wish he hears, no matter how reckless, no matter the cost.
From broken marriages to twisted sisterhoods, from prison vendettas to fatal misunderstandings, each wish becomes a dark parable of desire gone wrong. As Zartan watches lives unravel, he learns that magic never dies—it only waits to be misused.
Careless Wishes is a genre-bending tale of whimsy and horror, a cautionary fable for the modern age where every wish granted is a lesson learned too late.
