Make A Wish - AI interactive story

The rhythmic tap-tap-tap of Kanya Arundhati’s fingers against the black laptop keys filled the quiet apartment. Paragraphs flowed seamlessly across the 14-inch screen, her second novel, 'Kill Me', taking shape. It was a thriller, just like her first, the one that had earned her hundreds of millions on the popular writing platform.

She paused, fingers hovering over a particularly brutal murder scene. This part always gave her pause, despite her ease in writing it. “Well, you don't make murder scenes anymore, right?” Samuel Wijaya, her best friend, asked, his light brown hair glinting in the apartment lights.

Kanya sighed. “I have to finish this scene tonight! It is the last part of the chapter.” She knew the nightmares would follow, the throbbing headache. Samuel shook his head, gathering his things. “Okay, I'm leaving now. If you have a nightmare, don't call me in the middle of the night.”

“You needn't worry. I'm used to that dream.” Kanya giggled, watching him leave. Alone again, she stared at the screen. Eleven thirty-five PM. Midnight was coming. Twenty-five minutes until she had to update. She pushed through, finishing the chapter just in time.

Then, the familiar fog. The old warehouse. The man in black. Eros. Her hands trembled, a dagger appearing. “Make a wish, Kanya.” The words echoed, forcing her hand. The blade plunged. Again. Again. Until Eros fell, blood staining the ethereal mist. Kanya woke with a scream, heart pounding, the red mist still clinging to her vision.
