The Talisman
‘It has survived for a thousand years yet few are aware of its existence. Once you come into contact with it, it has the power to control your destiny’
A couple are given an ancient talisman that promises to grant any wish. It starts as a bit of fun but gradually its power is made flesh. Using the classic tale of three wishes, the story is given a contemporary twist.
Be careful what you wish for!
