Wish You Were Here

[cyberghostface]

 

This is from Haunt of Fear #22.

Jason and Enid are a couple who are a couple in financial difficulty. Enid picks up a jade statue and recalls buying it in Hong Kong.



He warns her to be careful. She ends up wishing for more money. His lawyer then calls him and he goes to see him, thinking this will be the solution to their problems. Instead he gets in a car accident where he is killed and his corpse mangled. The insurance means that Enid will be rich. 

Horrified that her wish resulted in her husband's death, Enid wishes that Jason be restored to the way he was right before the accident. It turns out he died of a heart attack before being mangled in the car accident. Enid has one final wish.
