Wish Granted

The woman marched toward you between the clothing racks, looking thoroughly annoyed.

“I'd like to speak to the manager!”

She stopped in front of you and pointed angrily at the blue dress she was wearing.

“This dress is awful. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it. I wish I'd never bought it in the first place!”

She gave the dress an irritated tug.

“I should never have set foot in your dingy store!”

Suddenly, the fabric began to glow with an intense blue light.

“What the—?”

The dress dissolved around her in a shimmering flash.

A moment later, she found herself standing completely naked in the middle of a busy pedestrian street outside the department store.

She blinked.

She looked down.

“Oh, you've got to be kidding me.”

She immediately covered herself with both hands and desperately looked for somewhere to hide.
