The mail felt heavy in Maya's hand, burdened as usual. She flipped through the stack: flyers, bills, junk. Then, a slim, vibrant card with a pop-up dragon on the front caught her eye. An anonymous wish. Maya felt her lips curve upwards, a light feeling in her chest.

She went inside, humming, and set the card on the kitchen counter. The world seemed to shimmer with potential. She felt light, almost weightless. The usual monotony of her day vanished.

With a sudden burst of enthusiasm, she opened the blinds, letting the sunshine stream in. Then, with a childlike glee, she started rearranging her living room furniture, a task she had been putting off for months.
