Did this kind of stuff actually work?
A young woman was starting to have some serious doubts now that she was here, staring down into the darkness below. Sure, she did hear more than enough stories revolving around this ancient-looking structure that spoke of its wish granting properties after learning about it and doing as much internet research as she could on it. But after going so far as to actually visit the thing and see it for herself, she still wasn't sure if this could do what she hoped it would. With the way it was just out in the middle of nowhere, and had nothing particularly special going on about it, it just seemed... awfully sketchy.
With the tap of a button, the screen of the phone she held in her hand momentarily came to life and barely lit up the well with its dim glow. Looking at it only momentarily, she later put it away afterward. It was already starting to get late, so she wouldn't be able stay here for much longer. Better that she got this done and over with now, so she could go home and get back to focusing on what was ahead.
With a sigh, she rested her hands against the cool rough surface of the well and slowly leaned closer to the opening before her. "So I... I'm suppose to make a wish now, right?" Her words drifted down into the void with uncertainty. If anyone else had been around right now, she would've felt pretty stupid for what she was about to do. "I don't know if anything I've heard about this place is really true, but... please. Wishing well spirit, thing, or... whatever is supposed to be listening to my wish right now. Is it possible you can do me a favor? There's someone I just... really want to meet."
Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a coin that was taped to the back of a picture. The picture itself looked fairly wrinkled and tattered from plenty of wear and tear, and in it was a man of some sort, surrounded by neon lights and wearing what looked to be a full face helmet. It was something she had stared at countless times, and even now she couldn't help but look at it for another long minute.
"He is pretty famous, so it's probably a long shot, but... there is a concert of his coming up soon. It might be selfish to ask for this, I know. But I hope whoever's listening might let it slide this time and allow me to talk to him at least once. Just once." That was all she was asking for. To spend even just one minute face to face with him, and that would be more than enough for her.
To make sure this well thing got the message, she held out both the picture and coin over the opening, and dropped them down into the well. If this worked, then sacrificing that picture to the endless depths of the well would be more than worth it.
