A.N. | A Hat Full of Sky: Wishes, wishes, wishes
Wishes, wishes, wishes, thought Tiffany, distracted, fumbling in her pockets for the bits to make a shamble. It’s not evil. It gives us what we think we want! And what do people ask for? More wishes! You couldn’t say: A monster got into my head and made me do it. She’d wished the money was hers. The hiver just took her at her thought. You couldn’t say: Yes, but I’d never have really taken it! The hiver used what it found – the little secret wishes, the desires, the moments of rage, all the things that real humans knew how to ignore! It didn’t let you ignore them!
A Hat Full of Sky, Terry Pratchett
