Wishing Well

One by one, Four strangers stumble upon a water well deep in the forest of Blacksburg, Virginia. Each of the four individuals drop a coin in the well, and make a wish. But, inside the well, there is a spirit. A spirit known as Ronoben. The trickster. Ronoben speaks to all four strangers as they make their wishes. Assuring them that all is good. The first stranger is Jacob. Jacob tosses a coin into the well, and wishes for money. But Jacob was not specific enough, and ends up with one penny. And Jacob's soul will be claimed. The second stranger is Samantha. Samantha tosses a coin into the well, and wishes for complete control over the government. Samantha becomes the leader of the entire world, but every other leader wants her dead. Samantha's soul is claimed. The third stranger is Harold. Harold tosses a coin into the well, and wishes for immortality. Harold cannot die, but experiences so much pain, that Harold begs for death. Harold's soul is claimed. The fourth stranger is Derek. Derek tosses a coin into the well, and wishes to be simply left alone. Forever. This wish confuses Ronoben. The wish is granted, and And Derek walks the earth as he pleases, as long as he doesn't make any connection with anyone. Ronoben feels defeated by Derek's wish, but cannot reverse it.
