Pike's wish

It had been one of the worst days of Pike's life. So bad that at lunchtime he even thought of calling his mother. He reached for the phone, then remembered she was dead. In the evening, he saw his doctor. "Yes, of course," said the doctor, smiling tiredly. "This is one of the symptoms of your disease. Your memories are becoming less present." Then Pike went home and ate chicken soup for dinner. There was no lucky bone in the soup, but he made a wish anyway, and that night the wish came true. So Pike's very bad day instantly turned into a great one.
