Hey, what’s the deal with abandoned parks? They’re always creepy, aren’t they? Well, let me tell you about a park near my home in La Plata, Maryland that’s got a wishing well that’s nothing but bad news.

The people around town are always warning me about never getting a wish from that well because it is cursed.

See according to the old-timers, a long time ago a young couple stumbled upon this old park, and they thought the well was the perfect spot to make a wish. They threw in a coin and wished for eternal love. Sounds sweet, right? Wrong. Their love turned into a suffocating obsession. They couldn’t stand to be apart for even a second. They stopped hanging out with friends and stopped talking to family. All they cared about was each other. It was like they were stuck in a love bubble.

Then an elderly man came along. He was tired of living in poverty and thought the well was his ticket to a better life. He wished for wealth beyond his wildest dreams. And boy, did he get it. But he became so obsessed with his money that he stopped caring about anything else. He stopped talking to his family, stopped going out, and stopped enjoying life. He just sat in his mansion, counting his money.

Then there was this guy who wished for success in his career. And he got it. He became a big shot in his field, but he became so obsessed with work that he lost sight of what was important. He stopped seeing his friends and family and stopped having any fun. All he cared about was work. And then one day, he realized that he wasn’t happy at all. All the success in the world couldn’t replace the people he had lost along the way.

So, what’s the deal with this wishing well? It’s like it wants to teach people a lesson. Be careful what you wish for because it might not be what you really want.
