Elena was grinding herbs at her kitchen table, calm as the eye of a storm. She didn’t look up. “You wished for excitement, mijo. For your work to matter.”
In the center of his studio stood a sculpture he had never made. It was a woman, life-sized, carved from a single piece of jet-black stone that hadn’t been there before. Her face was beautiful beyond reason, but her expression… her expression was wrong. Her lips were parted in a silent scream, and her hands were raised as if pushing against an invisible wall.
Mateo woke in his studio. Morning light streamed through the dusty window. The obsidian sphere was gone. So was the sculpture. His hands were clean, his chisels untouched. For a moment, he dared to hope.
The world went white.
Be careful what you wish for.
