Birthday Wish
Happy Birthday!
They sing
Delicious cake
The candles lit
Only now my wish
It’s been a great day
So many gifts
Eaten so much cake
Laughter
The flames flicker
They cheer
I wish this moment could last
Forever
I dig in
Slice by slice
Till it’s all gone
The plate empty
Happy Birthday!
They sing…
Another cake
The candles lit
I dig in
Slice by slice
Till it’s all gone
The plate empty
No more!
I can’t!
Happy Birthday!
They sing…
Another cake
The candles lit
I dig in
Why did I make that wish?
LLK.

I don’t now if this is really that scary, but I was going for a psychological kind of horror, that warns you to be careful with what you wish for on your birthday, as here wishing to relive the joy of a birthday is sinisterly twisted into having to repeat that exact moment over and over, stuck eating cake unwillingly and being sung happy birthday on repeat. Some kind of insanity.
