Author's Note: So, I know I should be working on Escape, but this is kind of a fun game, and I needed a break. If you want to play, put your iTunes or Media Player, or whatever you use on shuffle and press play. You have the length of the song to write a short blurb/story. It's against the rules to pause or skip songs. Hope you enjoy these. Go forth and Shuffle!
The Dream – Birthday Massacre
She's flying. Nothing and no one will ever stop her. She has her sight now, and the power to make all of her dreams come true.
She's trapped. The knives that set her free have turned against her, and they will never let her go. Her dreams fade and turn to dust as the years pass by.
She's resigned. Her plans have been laid, and nothing, not even her newly discovered goddaughter can stop them. She feels a pang of regret that she will never be able to know this striking child, but it is too late for that now.
She's prepared. A sharp pain and the world is dark once again. She knows what will happen, and she savors the sensation as she falls through the air. They won't ever be able to stop her now. The knives fall behind with her last heartbeat and a sigh escapes her lips.
She's flying.
Remember, Dreams Come True – Official Disneyland Soundtrack
Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight.
A creak on the stairs distracts her, but when her door doesn't open, she turns back to the open window.
I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.
A single star shines down on her and she stares intently at it. There are so many things she wants, but she knows there is only a short bit of time before the star is once again hidden behind the pollution that coats the sky.
I wish. . .
She pauses. She thought she knew what to wish for, but now she is not so sure. Another creak on the landing, and she whirls around, heart beating fast. She does not like it when she is alone in the house. She understands that her father's patients need him, but that doesn't make his absence any easier to bear.
I wish my daddy had more time to spend with me.

They hold each other tight.
