I died... or I nearly died... I think. 

Now, I'm traveling to realms I never knew existed.

The purpose? To learn empathy for others, and how to become  a better person, all due to a crazy wish I made on New Year's Eve. 

Now, I'm bouncing from realm to realm at the hands of my hot mentor, who told me I can't fall in love with him. What a thing to say.

I have one year to learn the lessons of twelve virtues in twelve months... if I want my wish to come true... and if I don't want to die.

As the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for.

My Crazy New Year's Wish

"Slade, you don't have to do this," I said, taking a careful step forward.


A sly smile spread across his lips as he raised an eyebrow. "No, but I want to."


Suddenly, he grabbed me and pressed the cold gun barrel to my head as Fred's eyes grew wide.


"Now," Slade said, dragging me backward. "I'm taking her with me."


"Over my dead body," Fred said, taking another step closer.


Slade took the gun off my head and pointed it at Fred.


"Wait!" I said, holding my hands up. "I'll go with you. Just don't shoot him." Then in my mind, I said to Stellan, "Stellan, I'm going to hit Slade in the stomach and push the gun up. Whisper in Colt's ear for him to push Slade down and hold him there." I thought that he could tell Fred, too, but he only had time to tell one.


"I'm on it." Stellan disappeared and then reappeared a second later next to Colt and whispered in his ear.


"Liv, I can't let you do that," Fred said.
