My Date With Sadako
I’ve never really believed in wishing wells. Well, I’ve never believed in Santa Claus nor in the Tooth Fairy neither. Not the Boogey Man. None of them. It’s hard to believe in those things especially since I grew up reading the sort of books children were not supposed to be reading yet. In other words, not enough of those Fairy Tales. I mean, I read them, but I so quickly graduated to those other books so early on. Besides, someone once told me (when I was much younger) that the real "fairy tales" that the those lunatic Grimm brothers wrote were actually more morbid than the Disney version.
I say this now because I feel like I’m drowning. In a wishing well. Except the only coins that bog me down were hurled by none other than myself…during lapses of logic.
Stupid, stupid, stupid wishes that cannot come true. And Sadako agrees.
