All were silent as corpses as they laid next to the campfire, listening to every ill spoken word. Now silence has graced this dimness of syllables that fed the fire. There was a wishing well, others sent for ill fortune had granted there lives. "Wishing well please hear my plea, "I was told you could solve issues for me, Moments past and not a motion or spoken word did seep from its depths. *"I thought this was a stupid idea, ******** belief that a well could solve problems for me* Then as footsteps echoed away, and repetition was vaguely heard till sound birthed forth. Feed me that which I desire, for metal has no value where wishes are conceived and birthed. "Tell me what you need, And whispers were held upon there thoughts, and no other was to no as a wishing well collects on everyone. *"So our story is like a circle but one not get finished but nearly complete in worth,* Around the fire not a word was uttered, breath was silent from one to another nothing expelled. all were listening to his expiration of this stories telling now eagerly undoing with each word. Seeds were sewn for a wishes worth to come true, Stories have endings of dreams and truth. but this isn't one of those endings this is a certainty. A story much have a start, pause and an ending unfold. *"Now all you have heard my tale, you were good listeners as the dead speak no words. I take a token from each of you,* *"The eye is a token of the soul, and it needed ten tokens of worth,* So as the fire lost is worth and syllables were replaced by ten bodies now in rigor motis. All wept tears of deaths embrace, as ocular openings feed upon the well. "I give gifts, keys to ten souls, each of colour fresh not cold, "Hear my plea of a wish I want in truth, **"Your contribution has been upheld, let a spoken word unfold, be it riches or youth,** **"One wish is yours now speak but heed my words, once uttered the deal is sealed souls sealed in word,** "I want you to crumble to seal others ill fate, *"Those that were killed had suffered before due to your needing of donations of souls needed effect,* Crumbling fortunes to a gate of souls that lingered at the bottom of a well. For all who had perished had done so as retribution for others lost to this curse. All who's eyes had been taken and found no eternal rest. He sat around the campfire and all was muted as no words were spoken. Ten pennies in the well, now it choked on its serving and all was silent. Wishes are for fools, as a price is always asked and unthinkable acts do not meet its worth.

Stories Told Around The Fire
