The hitchhiker Andy picked up on that July afternoon was one
of the stranger people he had met. She had, after warm thanks for stopping, and
a moment or two of silence, proclaimed herself to be able to grant a wish. The
conjuration she had performed in support of this was quite remarkable- once the
sound of the cymbal had stopped ringing in Andy’s head, he was quite impressed.
Now Andy, good Christian that he was, was always of the
opinion that you should do a good deed for its own sake, and not for material
reward. He lightly waved away the images of wealth or power that the girl
suggested. “My one wish, young lady, is to get you to where you’re headed!”.
The girl’s face contorted with fear as darkness fell
outside.
