Would you kill Hitler?. Content Warning.
That is the question often asked in drunk company. Would you kill Hitler if you could go back in time? You won't usually find any disagreement when somebody answers yes. However, there was a major problem in my case. I was the only one sober so I started thinking. The fact that I'm also a bit autistic didn't do me any favours here, because I was about to lay down one of the coldest explanations ever. As you would have guessed by now, I said "no"… All the faces turned pale in disbelief, the shock on their face is hard to describe in words even for a senior writer. I quickly realised the situation could escalate if I don't clarify my answer fast. What did I drag myself into? I wasn't even invited to this party to begin with. By now I'm really wishing I could go back in time and give a different answer… It's too late for that. I have to embrace the reality now.

The Wish of the Ancient Oak
On the outskirts of a sleepy town nestled in a valley, there stood an ancient oak tree. Legends told of its magical properties, whispering that it granted wishes to those with pure hearts. Most dismissed these tales, but young Emily believed. One crisp autumn afternoon, Emily ventured to the oak, her heart heavy with longing. She placed her hands on its rough bark and closed her eyes. "I wish for a friend," she whispered. The wind seemed to sigh in response, rustling the golden leaves. Days turned into weeks, and Emily began to lose hope. One morning, as she played alone in her garden, a curious sound caught her ear. She turned to see a small, golden-eyed fox watching her. Despite her initial surprise, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and warmth. The fox returned each day, and Emily named him Finn. They became inseparable, exploring the woods and sharing quiet moments beneath the old oak. The townsfolk marveled at their bond, unaware of the oak's fulfilled promise. Years passed, and Emily grew older, but her friendship with Finn never waned. The legend of the oak faded, yet its magic lived on in the unbreakable bond between a girl and her fox, proving that sometimes, wishes do come true.
