"I stopped being me at approximately 4:30 PM today.
The words of a crazy person. That’s me, Ellen Wright. So crazy, so suddenly, that on my way out of Ye Goode Drop after my Saturday study session, I waved goodbye to Kenzie and turned to find myself—my long-fingered hands, my tanned arms—carrying a heavy tray loaded with dirty dishes. In a crowded, noisy hole-in-the-wall diner. In a long apron, in someone else’s too-big shirt that smelled like grease. With someone else’s

This sharp and poignant YA short story offers a fresh new lens on the familiar "wish" theme, exploring ideas of privilege, empathy, and what it means to do the right thing.
