Wasted Time
A woman sighed and leaned over the cash register. “I wish I could travel through time and be done with this shift already,” she groaned.
Suddenly, there was a whoosh, and the woman’s short hair whipped around her face. Upon opening her eyes, she found herself sitting comfortably on her sofa at home. She grinned and turned on the television.
Days, month, and years passed at light speed. With just one wish, each mundane, terrifying or embarrassing moment blurred into the past.
The woman finally stopped when she lay sick and old on her bed, having never lived at all.
