IF WISHES WERE HORSES
At Starlake High, 17-year-old Calla Mercer is just trying to survive her senior year—dodging heartbreak, navigating social hierarchies, and keeping her late father's mysterious research a secret. But everything changes the day a meteor shower rains down strange, luminous dust over their small town.
Soon after, a sleek black horse appears out of nowhere—literally—from thin air, in the middle of the school track field. No one knows where it came from, but Calla does. It’s her childhood wish—one she made at seven years old when she whispered into her father’s experimental machine, hoping for a friend who would never leave her.
Now, more wishes are coming true around campus, with bizarre and chaotic consequences. Nerds become prom kings overnight. Dead pets reappear. Crushes confess love... only to vanish the next day. The source? Her father’s forgotten machine has reactivated, tapping into quantum fields and making subconscious desires real. But it’s unstable—and dangerous.
Caught between stopping the growing chaos and protecting her own wish-come-true, Calla teams up with Ash Reyes, a brooding science prodigy with secrets of his own—and maybe a wish that could destroy everything. As the town edges toward collapse, and reality starts unraveling, Calla must choose: hold on to her heart's deepest desire, or risk everything to set things right.
Because in a world where wishes come true, love is the most powerful—and the most dangerous—force of all.
