In some ways, this story is like the classic ‘Christmas Carol’ by Charles Dickens: Callen is a man who hates Christmas, he gets shown his Christmas past that caused all of the issues, he gets a wish that might fix the problem, and he gets to see a second version of his Christmas present with the wish granted. But after that, ‘One Wish’ diverges from the original and takes some very unexpected twists and turns.
I liked what Caitlin Ricci did with the tale. Callen hates his life in a wheelchair and teaching him to accept what has happened and deal with it is a huge task. Harry, the elf sent to help him, is a cute guy and he has some very helpful hints and tips – based on his own experience. But in the end it comes down to what Callen wants and what he is prepared to sacrifice, and I think that is the real strength of the story.
If you like Christmas miracles of a slightly different kind, if you believe that giving up is never an option - no matter how bad things seem to get, and if you’re looking for a read that is sweet, funny, and touching, then you will probably like this short story. I think it’s charming and unexpectedly thought-provoking!
