CHRISTMAS WISHES

Nine-year-old Tommy Baker, tormented by bullies, writes a desperate letter to Santa wishing for justice. Lost for thirty years, the letter resurfaces in Santa’s Overdue Wishes Department, and Tommy - along with his now-adult bullies - is summoned to a mysterious Christmas gathering at a remote lodge, where a reunion party is hosted by the enigmatic Mr Snow. 

As sinister events unfold, each bully faces a punishment connected to the seven deadly sins they embody, overseen by haunting elf enforcers. Alone at the end, Tommy must make a crucial choice. This dark Christmas tale explores justice, revenge, forgiveness and the consequence of unresolved trauma.

This short story was inspired by films like "The Haunting", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Gremlins".
