Micro SF/F by O. Westin

"I grant you one wish," the magic fish said.

"To eat my mother's pancakes again, just like when I was a child."

"Are you sure?"

"You think it frivolous?"

"No. But to grant it I must send you back to the child you were, with no adult memories."

"Would my life change?"

"You ask that every time."

@MicroSFF So she’s forever stuck in a time loop where she keeps getting sent back to her time as a child? 😳

I guess there’s a lesson here about being unable to move on from loss. 🥲
