Very short story about a kid who requests the right wish from the wrong person. Great story.

Really nice "dark" story. It involves a very clever misunderstanding which is the cause of everything that happens in the story. Wish I coud write something like this. Great one!

It seemed like a decent premise. I didn't care much for the lack of depth.

Mr. Boyle appears at Veronica's door, to grant a Christmas wish to her son Billy. Veronica believes Billy wrote a letter to Santa, she is puzzled as what Billy would have ask for. After much discussion with Mr. Boyle, she discovered he is a demon and little Billy, well lets just say he soulless. .. . . Now what would a 8 year boy want more than anything for Christmas? Football, toy trucks or maybe a Red Ryder BB gun ?? What Veronica discovers is heart wrenching and what Billy needs to do to earn that gift will leave you speechless.
What a great read ! Yes, it was short, but WOW was it awesome :) Makes you want to check your little ones letters to santa before you mail them ! ! ENJOY and be careful for what you wish for :)
Wende :)
