Like I said, it's written in the format of a Goosebumps book, so some chapters will be super short, like this one. Next chapter will be longer.

Her mom and dad led her to the garage while Tommy followed. They all acted as if they were really going to give Michelle a birthday present.
Dad opened the garage door.
There it was. The guitar.
All the strings were intact. The guitar was brand new and had yet to be touched by Tommy's grimy, clumsy fingers.
That must be the surprise, Michelle thought. They figured out a way to fix the string somehow. Or maybe they got me another new guitar!
"Do you like it?" Mom asked.
"It's awesome!" Michelle replied.
Tommy said, "Cool bike, 'elle. Mom, I want one of these for my birthday."
Then, he picked it up and strummed one of the cords so hard, it snapped and flicked against his arm. Tommy immediately began to bawl, crying fake tears.
Mom cried, "Tommy! Are you hurt?"
Michelle couldn't believe it. What a nightmare!
It was happening all over again. Exactly as it had happened on her birthday.
What's going on?
"What's wrong, Michelle?" Dad asked. "Don't you like the guitar? I'm sure we can fix the string."
What could she say? She felt sick, stupefied, petrified with confusion and fear.
Suddenly, it dawned on her.
It must have been my wish, she thought. My birthday wish.
After Tommy tripped her and she fell on the cake, she wished she could go back in time and start her birthday all over again.
Somehow her wish came true.
Wow! Michelle thought. This is kind of cool.
"Let's go inside," Mom said. "The party guests will be here soon."
The party?
Oh, no.
Please, no!
Did she have to live through that horrible party again?
A lot like the book, this chapter. Don't worry, as time goes back, the chapters will begin to separate the story line from the original book.
Thanks for reading!
